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.

i thought people were already making maps for Emperor Battle For Dune. the maps format for that game is quite complex. there are sections that break away from the normal grid of heightpoints. I think that game has probably the best terrain that i've ever seen in a game though.
