ok, I got it
Now I can play my own level
thanks
Hi, just returning to this game and trying to get the editor working. I have the DK Gold CD but I can't find the file "keeper.cfg" on there at all. I've tried running a search and no luck. Any advice?
EDIT:
I did this instead as my computer won't run the installer but I am having the issue where upon trying to run Editor.exe the screen blacks out, resolution changes for a few seconds then goes back to the desktop. I'm running Windows 7 Home Premium. Does the Editor folder need to be anywhere specific? At the moment its just sitting on my desktop.
(Hopefully) Final EDIT:
Looks like I copied one of the files across where I should have downloaded and extracted and it seems to be working (touch wood). One final question, how do I play my created levels on Keeperfx? I remember on the original editor they appeared on the list of "Deeper Dungeons" levels but can't see my test level on the "Free Play"menu in Keeperfx. Anyone able to advise?
REALLY final EDIT:
It was just a simple copy and paste job. It's construction time!

Yeah, don't run stuff from your desktop. keeper.cfg can be found in the root of your game directory.
To run your levels, simply copy the map files from the editor (say, c:\dungeon keeper\editor\levels) to keeperfx (say d:\Keeperfx\levels). The map files are all files called map00####.***, where the #### is the number you used to save it. If it is your first map, this is usually 0200.
If you have any trouble, your issue is most likely listed here in the FAQ: https://github.com/dkfans/keeperfx/w...ng-Custom-Maps
EDIT: You edited your post while I was typing. I see you managed, good.
Also consider the Adikted Editor, it has more options. I link to it in this topic.

I followed your instructions and i was able to get on to the actual editor.
However, although i've not actually saved or played any of the levels yet. It doesn't seem to have any of the deeper dungeon levels. All i've got is the main 20 and the 5 bonus levels. Any idea what might be causing it. I have Windows 10, Keeper FX.
Do i also need to fill in INSTALL_PATH=.\ with the cfg.
I remember doing it with the original game on XP many many years ago. My gog version of the game is on another hard drive.
It's nice to see the map editor again. I just hope it works despite the deeper dungeon levels not being on it at the moment. I did copy/paste the levels from the FX to the editor if anyone happens to ask.
Thanks

The official editor only picks up levels listed in a .lif file. You can either edit an existing lif file(with any text editor), make your own, or copy over DDISK1.LIF from the GOG levels folder.
Simply put in this in any lif file for you to get the dd levels:
Code:80, Morkardar 81, Korros Tor 82, Kari-Mar 83, Belbata 84, Caddis Fell 85, Pladitz 86, Abbadon 87, Svatona 88, Kanasko 91, Netzcaro 93, Batezek 94, Benetzaron 95, Daka-Gorn 97, Dixaroc 92, Belial
Is there an easier way to create levels and campaigns?
Yes, with the Adikted editor.
There's an entire wiki page: https://github.com/dkfans/keeperfx/w...a-new-campaign
This is to complicated. I have no knowledge in that type of game edition.
I tried using the official editor from https://lubiki.keeperklan.com/html/d...ls_mapedit.php
But it is not working. It shows me an error window.
I even mail the admin. He told me to ask here.
