Hi! I'm looking for an easy, user-friendly Character Editor that works for the GOG release of Darklands. I've been to the sites most often recommended but don't understand how they work. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!

Look in the directory C:\GOG Games\Darklands\DARKLAND, or its equivalent on however you did your installation, and look for (but do not yet try to open) a file called "EDITOR.EXE". It's a built-in Darklands editor.

If EDITOR.EXE is there, then you can use standalone DOSBox to run it (make sure Darklands is not open!).

I, or probably a multitude of users here, could help you to get DOSBox to run, if ya need.

Upon further searching I do not find any file called editor.exe in my darklands folder(s). Does this editor come with the game installation? I have both a steam version and the gog version and neither of them have a editor.exe file.
