About[edit]
This is the Wiki for Empyrion Playfield Designer. Playfield Editor for Emyprion - Galactic Survival
What is EPD[edit]
EPD is short for Empyrion Playfield Designer - A playfield editor for Empyrion - Galactic Survival. Its purpose is to make creating playfields for Empyrion easier and faster.
Download[edit]
The most recent version of Empyrion Playfield Designer can be downloaded from the Empyrion Online Forums pages.
Installation[edit]
There is no installation routine.
- Download EPDs latest version from Empyrion Online Forums.
- Extract EPD into some folder on your harddisk. It doesn't really matter where, as EPD will ask for the gamepath anyway.
- Start EPD.exe
IMPORTANT NOTICE If you have any antivirus software installed, it may falsely declare EPD.exe or some other files as virus/trojan or delete some files after extraction. That may change from build to build and simply is due the fact, that some code fragments can look similar to harmful software for your antivirus software. This differs from product to product.
Of course it is up to you to trust EPD or not, but sadly there is nothing more I can do about it. EPD is simply too unimportant to the manufacturers of antivirus software to beeing put on a whitelist of trustworthy software. If you decide to trust EPD, you could exclude the path you extracted EPD into from your antivirus software's scan paths.
