HI,

I read that there is a PDT editor but I can't find it with my only game (yet) which is Campaign Waterloo. Any hints where to get it?

Stay safe.

As far as I am aware you can only edit the PT files using a text editor. That's the way it works in Musket and Pike which was built out of the NB engine.

I believe that Bull Peters had put some instructions about what lines correspond to what fields in the NB engine's PDT files - I know he did that with the OOB files as I had need to use them not too long ago, so I assume the other exists as well - but as far as an editor goes- I don't think there is one apart from a user and their preferred plain text editor.
Maybe I'm wrong but I think Bill(yes Bill) even had a PDF explaining the lines his last title.
If not you might try this:

A bit outdated but gives a clue of most of the PDT file.
