I am starting computer programming (Turbo C++)
I have a WHOLE SET [more like library] OF BOOKS ON COMPUTER PROGRAMMING!!!!!!
I find that these books don't tell me how to make an editor (except the fact it tells you how to make a picture editor...) and I would like a easy tutorial for it. DON'T ASK, I already saw Heimdal's "Make your own map editor' topic, but as I compiled it, it said there was errors and it had trouble running and compiling it.
So maybe SI could come over here and let me "borrow" his source code for ScmDraft.
I know the basics, like what header of header files I should get...
So maybe some experienced C++ person who made a editor could help me...

You make some basic stuff before attempting something this difficult.
I would highly suggest making that picture editor so you actually know what you're doing.

I agree. If you ever insist on making a map editor, you'll have to read up on decoding the CHK at Campaign Creations and then to a raw-binary interface with the map file, essentially hexing with your code, and write or get a compiler (to SCM/SCX).

In other words, don't start with an editor if you're new. Start with something that changes .gif's into .bmp's or something basic like that (is it basic?).

Ok, thanks. DTBK? Can you give me a link to Campaign Creations?
ADDITION: And where I can find the decoding place in CC?

You also got to realize that every c++ editor has its own style on programming. Programming with Visual C++ .NET (as I do) is different then Visual C++ 6.0 and also different then turbo C++

Only if you have image handling classes in your language. Hexing images is a biznatch.
