Is this ILb Maker useful?

BTW, the AoW1 community has been doing a lot of hex editing lately, while AoW2 people having been mostly adding loads of graphical assets, but also with new terrain types such as "sky". Both communities are active on discord. I'm more of an AoW1 type myself but either way, very interested in your ideas and expertise. You must be familiar with the MPE mod right? Hellbrick, who made it, no longer plays AoW2 but he does reply to emails.

Thanks for the reply!

Hm, that may be better for manually setting up the files, but unless I had the code for it I don't know that it will help me to read the files in my own code.

And yeah I've found a lot of info on the AOW1 files (even working code), but there seems to be a fair amount of differences in the newer version used for 2/SM and I haven't been able to find anything about that. They may be similar enough though that I can use the info about the AOW1 files and just figure out the rest the old fashioned way.

I suppose I could send an email too 🤔 Basically anyone who wrote code to manipulate ILBs would have known what I'm looking for now at some point. Although, I'm not sure anyone would be willing to teach me or part with their source code 😛 If only there were some docs
