Ok, understood.

Ah ok. You left out one, the quest editor, but yes they are all good.

Attaching all the screenshots. Maybe they can be used somewhere (on
the wiki or somewhere else)

Basically something like this :-

/usr/local/src/adonthell-tools-build/src/modeller$ ./modeller -g
../../../ -p wastesedge ../../../wastesedge/redwyne-inn.xml

The only difference is in the last directory .

./mapedit -g ../../../ -p wastesedge ../../../wastesedge/redwyne-inn.xml
./modeller -g ../../../ -p wastesedge ../../../wastesedge/redwyne-inn.xml
./questedit -g ../../../ -p wastesedge ../../../wastesedge/redwyne-inn.xml
./dlgedit -g ../../../ -p wastesedge ../../../wastesedge/redwyne-inn.xml

I did however the dlgedit when looking at that dialog flow and was
impressed about how it looked.

did that.

saw those.

ah ok, right.

Thank you for your help. If nothing else, at least can follow what you
guys are doing.

Thanks again.
