What does "Battle for Wesnoth Editor" do? When I try to run it, I get this message:
What is going on? I read the scenario editor readme, and it mentioned editting maps... are these two editors somehow intertwined or something?
And when I try to open the scenario editor (also in the Terminal), it just spouts a lot of gibberish and dies. I did move it to the same folder as BFW...

There's a perl script you need to run. It should really be bundled with the editor or run before distributing it. I don't understand why it's necessary, but it works. When I get to my home computer I can post it or you can search some of the other mac os X editor threads.
Hope springs eternal.

I found the script and ran it, thanks. I think they didn't put it in there because the data must be pretty big (BFW itself is 41 megs), and they didn't want to make the download any bigger. In any case, it would be helpful to put instructions in the readme. You wouldn't even need to necessarily include the script, since you can always control-click "Show Package Contents". Still, that would be the hard way to do things. =)
Thanks for the prompt reply!

I posted a compiled version of the editor on the internet. It works with version 0.8.11 of the game. It's 20 Mb. Let me know if it works.
Edit: it's for the Mac

Re: Editor Crashes on Startup (Mac)
There are two current versions of editors.Phyvo wrote:What does "Battle for Wesnoth Editor" do? ... I read the scenario editor readme, and it mentioned editting maps... are these two editors somehow intertwined or something?
One is a map editor which is the Official editor. This is an SDL application to be run from the terminal. There is also a Cocoa editor which is unofficial but was meant to be easier for people to use. There was some confusion in how to run this so I have integrated it into the main program (this will be available in the next release I package).
