I still can't believe it's not butter either Dan.
I don't think Mr Atkinson has ever made an editor. He's only made the shortcut creator thing. I just love pointing it out, he tries to hide it and pretend he works on MCFM
I think it's become a little more difficult these days, and people just don't know or don't want to put in the effort. There are a few different people who I know that are interested in reading the database etc but after that, actually getting an editor up and running takes a fair bit of effort. Back in the CM3 days there were about 4 saved game editors, a couple of memory editors and CM Scout.
Tri Wasono did create a pre game editor, yeah. He disappeared in 2000 (though his editor still worked for 0102). He used to be a mod on this forum too.
