"CC2Tools" again updated to v3 with LOS-file shrinking. Manual included.
2003-10-19 my MacOS tool "CC2Tools" has grown bigger: now full featured CC5/CC4/CC3 map conversion possible including shrinking of the map dimensions to fit to CC2: can shrink and convert to CC2 in one step: BGMap/BGM, MMMap/MMM, OVMap/OVM, ROOF/RFM, BTM/Scenario, Bridg (!) and data files Map###/TXT. Except for LOS file making you can now convert every CC5-CC3 map to CC2 to have them on the Mac. For map refinements please use CCedit and/or LOStool. See Guides / Tools section. Source code included. For Win95/XP time limited demo only, sorry.

A big leap for a single man, but a small step for mankind!

2003-10-03 cracking the CC2-133-teams-barrier (with the help of Ken Scott):

I have made CC2-Tool collection for Mac (and a demo of it for PC), so we can now on the Mac
- extract and rebuild the Gadget# files and we can expand them for more team gadgets !
- convert Txtr###-, BGMap###-files etc. to TGA and back,
- convert CC3/CC4/CC5-*.bgm files to TGA to make CC3/CC5-map to CC2-map conversion on the Mac easier,
- PATCHING the Mac-ABTF / CC2.exe for more teams !!!!!

See Guides / Tools section. Source code (RealBasic5.2) included. More is planned.
