PLEASE READ:
The mission editor is no longer being developed. My latest Knights and Merchants project is the KaM Remake, a complete remake of the Knights and Merchants engine from scratch, aiming to improve it and add new features. Please download the latest version and give it a try!Watch the trailer

Lewin. October 2011.
I have been playing knights and merchants for as long as I can remember. Recently I found Litude's Fan Site and Kroms map editor. However, there was no mission editor (for placing units, buildings, etc.) so I decided to make one myself. Going on Litude's documentation on the mission files I have build an editor that decodes the files, lets you edit them as text and save them. I am currently working on a GUI. 3 March 2009 - Sorry for not updating this sooner, I've been busy recently. 0.9 has been release with troops displaying on the map. I have also sent the petition for the release of the KaM, 368 people signed it. Plus the christmas competition got 7 entries and results will be released soon.
26 November 2008 - It's a big day here, 0.8.5 has been released PLUS the petition to release the KaM source code has now been offically opened!.
15 September 2008 - 0.8 has been released. This version fixes many bugs and upgrading is highly recommended.
13 July 2008 - 0.6.8 has been released and it fixes a huge memory leak. I highly recommend you upgrade to this version as soon as possible.
27 June 2008 - 0.6 is now available for download. Performace has been fixed a lot. Go download it!

7 March 2008 - There is now a new beta release, 0.4 Beta. This uses the new tree view editing style. It may contain a few bugs and the translations are incomplete. Please let me know what you think and report bugs.
20 December 2007 - Welcome to the new look of the website thanks to Lucbach, the administrator of the polish fansite! I am working on the GUI at the moment and it is going well. I have uploaded some screenshots and a beta version for you to test.
1 November 2007 - Version 0.1.7 is now out! Every command is now working and there are lots of other things too. The next version will have a help file and translations. I am also going to translate the website.

If you are interested here's how you can help:
EDIT: (March 2011) Actually, I've stopped working on the mission editor and do not need anymore help. I am now working on the KaM Remake which will include a mission and map editor built into it. Thank you for your interest.
- Help me translate it into other languages. So far I have had offers for Dutch, Polish, German and Bosnian. (Croatian) If you have another language please tell me.
- Test it, find bugs and make suggestions
- Encourage me. If you want this to go ahead, contact me and tell me you are interested. The more people interested, the more likely I am to keep developing it.
