Anno 117 - MAP Editor

TAMPER is a community-built visual editor for the map template system in Anno 117: Pax Romana. The game generates its playable worlds procedurally from map templates – binary files (.a7tinfo) that define which islands may appear, where, at what size, and in what configuration. TAMPER gives modders a graphical interface to create and modify these templates without manually editing XML.

What you can do with TAMPER:

• Design complete map layouts for both Latium (Roman) and Albion (Celtic) regions from scratch.
• Import and visually inspect any existing game template, including vanilla maps.
• Place random islands (Small, Medium, Large, ExtraLarge) by type (Normal, Starter, 3rd Party, Pirate, Vulcan).
• Pin specific game island files as fixed islands with rotation, island label, and handcrafted fertility assignments.
• Position ship spawn points.
• Configure the Playable Area and, for DLC01-enabled maps, the Enlarged Playable Area.
• Export the result directly to a ready-to-install playable mod .zip package for all three difficulty variants or – for more experienced modders – to .a7tinfo or xml files.

TAMPER operates as a standalone GUI application and does not modify game files in place. It reads and writes Anno’s proprietary binary format via the open-source FileDBReader tool.
