If I remember right it works in DX11, so it was never removed.

Thanks for the reply, but like I said in my post, this does not work.  I'm using direct X 11.  Game is running through AshesEscalation.exe though as that's how the installer set up the shortcut.

It sounds like you are using the map editor under original Ashes of the Singularity.  As I stated in my post, I'm using Ashes of the Singularity Escalation.  I do not have the original game.  I bought the standalone expansion.  I can't find anything online about how to enable the map editor for escalation.  The only instructions I found were for the original game.  When I tried those instructions, the game doesn't even start, let alone any sort of map editor.  From my understanding the way this worked in the original game, is once you added -modding, you would get a map editor button on the main menu.  Well my game doesn't even launch.  Since I don't have the first game, I can't make a map there and port it to escalation.

Thanks for the reply though

I personally probably wouldn't mess around with map editor, but shouldn't this be worked on at least and released hopefully within the first year of the official launch?

If people want to create content for free for your product, shouldn't the company try to support that in order to promote the game further? 

I'm sure it's not an easy task to create a map editor, but where is the info on whether it is being worked on and when it is planned to be released?

24gb of ram? First who buys that amount?, Either 3 sticks or non matching sticks... Second I'm doing fine on 16gb, works fine, vaste size is a little to much.... also the build? Is it public, beta, custom or experience modder acsess?

Yes it will crash my system ofc but I don't have to render in shouch high qulities, also why quadro card? Also eould you recommend me to get 32gb of ram? I have 6700 and 1070

Do the replay quality affect nothing at all except the quality you get when you are editing?

I'm nearly certain nobody has. Only a couple of people have even made maps.

Players can make the map they want.

What almost all dont know its that its not need the map editor to change the map.

To have a different environment, vegetation, climactic variations, snow land vulcan ,more trees or rocks ,you dont need open map editor.

I make my own Effects and other terrain effects on substancer.

The possibilities of modding are so high in this game, that make me fear if stardock open the doors.

The day we can make what i think its possible, we might pass by the nr1 best modding game ever made....

Right now PA and Sup2 owns that item, but we can pass them so fast ......

I have a steam private group since last year ,we are about 7 all modders from other games.

We have lot stuff, not only we have 2 pro designers that make me swap to MODO insted max, 2 member from revamp team help us on some scripts plugins  and some wanted to learn so escalations have a good future next years on the modding section on ower group.

We are waiting for ashes help only for some information about the tools i have ask or some help about ashes format, the rest its all with us.

We have understand all the language this game uses, we have maps, scenarios to multiplayer, themes to all ,tutorials, new race builds, new balance and speed that change all the game, lot units that we dont know yet if we could use them on PHC and SS or new faction.

The problem its that stardock wants have new faction new units and naval ( obvius we have to respect that ), so we feel that there is a little friendly battle between what we can do for free and what ashes still need released.

Thats wy Modding section in a game that could rule on the best modding game still dead.

But we will wait, and you and any other can join us any time you want when workshop active.........

More faction is good fore lore and for gameplay for mp needs some more stuff and a better ballance (now it's mostly community driven so will be much better) the naval will be great to have, can't wait for it, but mods needs it's place too but should not effect the naval or new factions

here some more info and help
