how to install and use world editor

[Fuchur]

hi, i want to use the world editor from ubisoft. but when i try to install it, it keeps saying it does not find anno at all. any hints?

regards

hello! I want this too. Help anyone?

the problem is:
the world editor will only work with a default installation of anno from DISC in the games original default directory which is = C:\Program Files (x86)\Ubisoft\Related Designs\Anno 1404... you could try making the directory and then copying anno into it... BUT!.... i also think that it requires a different version to the one steam offers.

I currently have it all working fine on my pc (i magically got a old disc), so its not impossible to do, just a pain.

you can create maps, choose opponants, starting options, even adjust prices, and its fairly easy to pick up after a few trys.

The steam version is completely differently saved and made from the disc version and the keys and referals are all over the place, unless you're the special snowflake able to reroute the directory you're fuc ked

well world editor does work with steam version. i had to change some regkeys and start the worldedit exe from within the steam-anno install dir. but it works

This seems to have worked for some https://steamcommunity.com/app/33250/discussions/0/282992562605923198/

For me, however, the registry entries for \Uninstall\ are missing so I have not been able to figure a workaround yet. Anyone?

it's a while so i am not very sure.
some keys were missing yes. i changed the remaining ones.
the key to success - for me - was to copy the worldedit exe inside the steam anno folder
