It sounds like you are reffering to shai halud, which has not been actively developed for several years.

Is there any source code available for this editor?

Unless he meant the campaign map editor by Klofkac, there is no source available. If that is the one he was referring to (which it doesn't sound like), the source code can be found inside the zip at http://d2kplus.com/campaignmap.php

He is talking about the campaign map editor not shai-hulud. Map editor has source code, it's in gruntlord's post.

 

Read it more carefully and yeah I think gruntlord is right, he's talking about shai-hulud. Sorry.

im talking about klofkac  map editor   since   on shai hulud you cant modify  brush size using keyboard. while klofkac  map editor   allows to   change  brush size outside  4x4 limits  but  crashing editor  , maybe  someone can fix this  eventually and    either restrict 4x brushes  or   extend to use larger . 

 

it could   let making map faster  with  bigger brush  thought

It's also got a bug when the window is maximized on large screens (like my monitor which is 1920x1080), where it blurs the display past a certain point. The terrain editing could also use some work.

The program was written in delphi if that matters.

Delphi is cool :) Might have a look into it one day

May be it will be useful to know, that Lazarus is analogue of Delphi. And Lazarus is FREE, cross-platform software. 

I used it already to edit some simple programs, that were written in Delphi.

Yes, with some luck and a lil effort you might be able to compile it with lazarus :) There is also an old freeware version named turbo delphi explorer
