EBPEdit Help

EBPEdit™ is the map creation and editing software for Empire Builder Pronto™. EBP™ is software that plays crayon rails. EBP is an "open system": it displays and lets you play on a wide variety of game maps, including maps you or others create with help from EBPEdit.

Many people make small edits to existing maps, perhaps change the demand payoff on a contract, to see the impact and learn the editing process. It is assumed that if you are creating an entire map from scratch, you are very familiar with crayon rails games, and their normal parameters. It is also assumed that you have at least some experience editing graphics with another program; such experience will make EBPEdit that much easier to use.
