This kind of "bazaar programming" (ala Eric Raymond at http://tuxedo.org/~esr/writings/cathedral-bazaar/) is precisely what Core/Eidos fail to understand would make TR even more popular. They are just too stupid to realize the potential of what releasing Room Editor would do for TR, and how you guys are all advancing on unofficial TR level utils should be evidence enough of just how clueless Core/Eidos truly are. More power to you! At least Maxis (The Sims) and some other developers understand why customization and add-ons prolong the life of a game, while rehashed sequels like Core/Eidos pump out each year do little to expand beyond the game's narrow gameplay.
