Yes, XCC Editor for TD.
> anyway. if the maps in Metal Fatigue are a uniformly spaced grid of heightpoints then it may be easy to make a converter of bitmap images to maps for this game. one greyscale image can mean the altitude of the points and another color bitmap could determine what areas are grass or sand or rocks etc. another color bitmap could determine what entities go on what tiles. of course then the placement will not be pixel perfect but will be snapped to grid sort of.
> > > so you can get some of the existing maps for the code and stuff. There are sooooo many people that want a map editor for this game, me included. If you could program even just and editor to change properties of existing maps, it would be great. Though a terrian editor would be better. Please consider this. Thankyou for your time. Oh yeah, XCC Mixer and Utilities are the most usefull things i have gotten so far for red alert 2 and all the command and conquer games.
