I know this site doesn't have an affiliation with the program, but I recently downloaded it from the writer's website: http://www.descent2.de/dle-xp-intro.html
And it will not un-zip properly - one of the files in it is corrupt. Does anyone use this editor?
I tried to load the old DMB II through DosBox and I couldn't get it to work either.
I'd like to go back and look at / refine some of the levels I built. For the builders out there, how are you guys doing that these days?
Thanks!
DLE-XP Level Editor and DMB II
DMB2 was a Windows application - it wouldn't work in DOSBox, no. Might work in Windows XP Mode but it's much easier just to use DLE-XP. (Hopefully. After 1.8.0 there's been a lot of bug squashing to do, but most of them seem to be out now.)
I do not entirely know the reason for compressing them with a beta version of 7-Zip but I guess it achieves better compression ratios...

DMB2 should work without any issues in Windows XP mode, and may work without too much trouble on newer OS versions (but I've never tried it there) ... but even in XP it has issues with widescreen display modes. It was designed for and works with 800x600, 1024x768. If you do a widescreen display (say 1280x800 for example) the program may load, but it won't display your work correctly.
DLE-XP doesn't have those issues.
