Notes

• Make your own backups or use the auto-backup feature!
• Extract to anywhere and run.
• You may need to run the program as administrator.
• No help files are included.
• No mod affects your already saved games, only new games.
• You may be able to undo changes by going back to the text box and pressing Ctrl + Z.

Tips

• You can have multiple search entries separated with "|" letter.
• Upper search boxes are inclusive and lower ones exclusive.
• Example: tower|ship|ram
• Use the check boxes to force match all entries.

Dependencies for building

For compiling it yourself you need the following installed:

• A modern C++ compiler (supporting at least C++17).
• wxWidgets.
  • On Linux use wxgtk2 if possible, the gtk3 version is extremely slow and laggy.
• SFML (audio module).

Generic build instructions:

Clone with recursive submodules and standard cmake:

git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/sandsmark/AGE.git
mkdir build && cd build
cmake .. && make
./AdvancedGenieEditor3

Windows build instructions

For installing on Windows, it is probably easiest to use vcpkg to install wxWidgets and SFML, it is what AppVeyor uses.

The commands AppVeyor runs to build static binaries are:

vcpkg update
vcpkg install sfml:x86-windows-static
vcpkg install wxwidgets:x86-windows-static
vcpkg integrate install
git submodule update --init --recursive`
cmake -DENABLE_IPO=True -D CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS_RELEASE:STRING="/MT /O2 /Ob2 /DNDEBUG" -DLINKING_TYPE=static -D CMAKE_C_FLAGS_RELEASE:STRING="/MT /O2 /Ob2 /DNDEBUG" -G "Visual Studio 15 2017" -DVCPKG_TARGET_TRIPLET=x86-windows-static -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=c:/tools/vcpkg/scripts/buildsystems/vcpkg.cmake .
