Empire-Earth---DB-Editor

An editor for all DB files for the game Empire Earth and the Art of Conquest addon.

With this program you'll be able to edit all values contained in the db files. You won't need anymore to open these files with an hex editor and do boring conversions hex->int and int->hex. This program handle everything and can support any db file. It just needs to know the db file structure, which is partially done thanks to the community (thank you all!!)

It allows the user to edit all unknown values (change them at your own risk or for testing purposes). Please tell us, when you find some unknown values.

• in order to run this software, you will need to have at least Java 11 installed - it will not start with Java 8 (you can test it in a terminal or cmd.exe by running java --version)

empire-earth---db-editor's Issues

It is possible to remove entries, but not possible to insert entries, resulting in a broken file

As the title says. I accidentally removed an entry and now my game crashes because all entries after that got moved forwards and all links are broken. I could fix it by inserting the entry where it was, but that is not possible with this tool.

resource amount can't not change

Sorry to bother you. This project should have stopped being maintained a long time ago. Today, when modifying the file "dbobjects.dat," I attempted to change the "resource amount" of "Res - Fish" from the default value of 450.0 to possibly 3000.0. However, after executing "save entry -> save to file," the values in the file remain unchanged. Could you please advise on what needs to be corrected? Thank you.

"Quick search" function needed

Having a quick search function will help modders a lot for searching desired values to edit.
