Electron Elite Editor
Electron Elite Editor
Hi all. I remember BITD an Elite game editor appeared in one of the BBC magazines. IIRC it was a type-in listing that allowed you to edit/create a save file with various upgrades e.g docking computers, bigger cargo bay etc. Is there something similar for Electron Elite ?

The bbc tape editor worked for the elk too. http://elite.acornarcade.com/res.htm
Re: Electron Elite Editor
I'm a bit lost here. Is there a .ssd disk with the Elite Editor or the BASIC program as a text file which I can import into Electrem(ulator)? Thanks.
Re: Electron Elite Editor
Thank u topcat96. Now, here is another small problem. I know that Elite was only released on TAPE for the Elk. But, I've begun playing Electron Elite and saving my commander to tape all the time is beoming a bit of a chore. Is it possible to modify the game code to direct the SAVEing of your progress to DISC rather than TAPE ? (I remember the Beeb version had a nifty disc menu within the game that even allowed you to catalogue the disc!)
Re: Electron Elite Editor
If you could get hold of the source code it may be possible, if there is space to add it.
I am not sure whether the Electron UEF images at Ian Bells site contain the source, but probably a good place to start: http://www.elitehomepage.org/archive/index.htm
