Hey,

If anyone's interested, I'm writing a map editor for this game (Return Fire). You can get the beta version here: http://rfmedit.sourceforge.net/

Hey, that's very, very cool!

RF is still one of my favourite games, nothing beats its splitscreen fun. At the moment I don't have it installed, but in fact the box is lying right next to me at this very moment :) I'm sure to make heavy use of your editor when I start playing it again 8)

I actually once worked on a map editor myself. It looked rubbish (didn't use the original game graphics, can't remember why) and controlling it was a struggle. I had the plan to make it better, but it was a total mess and would have needed a complete rewrite, so at some point I lost interest. It's what I always do with my projects. Probably because they use to end up being bollocks.

Now you did exactly what I had in mind :) Respect for that!

Oh, one thing: I don't know about license stuff etc., but if you can I would include ZLIB1.DLL with your archive, as I had to download it first to run the editor.
