Official DK2 Map Editor

It is a complete map editor for Dungeon Keeper 2. As it allows editing all elements of the map, its release has ceased development of unofficial editors.

Two versions of this editor can be found: final version (2.0.0) and pre-release RC3 version (1.0.1). The RC3 version can be recognized by looking at version number in 'Properties' page of the EXE file.

The final version has better support of map elements added in patches; but the RC3 version has some functionality which were later removed - it has more editing options than final. As an example, the RC3 version allows to make Lair room on the map, or add triggers and actions to members of a hero party.

There is also a fan modified final version, called Pro. It has some functions which are not available in other versions too - for example, allows to edit a lot more parameters of creatures (like sex, or is it good or evil) and overwriting the official levels (those from campaign).

Search the net for a download of the final version. After installing it, you can use the following files to get access to other versions:
