Blade may have done that, but he hasn't released his mod yet (is it really going to be called the Project?) Nor did he use the same method, I agree, but I hit a few snags using his "ini editing" method that resulted in the pieces not coming up in FA2 YR. How can I edit maps without FA2 YR, and are you still working on a map editor yourself?
As far as mmx files go, they may be nice bu they can't all be compacted into the multimd.mix and still work in the game, don't you think it easier to move only one mix file around then a bunch of mmx files? Though they are smaller...
Well, if you think there's an easier way, let's hear it... eh!?
