So why was there so much high praise for this big-wig editor when Red was shipped with the Game when there are so many abnormal things in it that the authors of this editor didn't fix ?, has anyone tried to ask Violition nicely to fix up the troubles that exist in Red? THey made it , they can fix up some of these abnormal things this editor does.
Red limits breached?, Yep, (20,000 fces and its still going !)

You must not know THQ very well then....Let me give you a clue.Anti-THQ



THQ will do NOTHING unless it includes them making more money.

Why would they, the game is old. Just be glad they still have the tracker on and we can still play the game without us giving each other the IP or setting up a tracker of our own. If they were still making money on it, I would understand your complaints.

Despite its many bugs and omissions, many very good maps have been made with RED.
Also it is one of the easiest editors to use even when taking into account those bugs.
I've tried the Unreal editor and FarCry;s Sandbox as well as that Radiant one. They are way to complicated for me to handle.

The chances of them releasing the source anytime soon is remote. Sure there's always a chance, be it remote.

You know, I don't meant to sound rude, but I've encountered many "I hate RED" people, and had a look at many a-map they had created. I can say that practically all problems come from the mapper's mistakes. Bat technique, thoughtlessness and lack fo will to ever read tutorials are what's "wrong with RED".

Thsi doesn't take the blame off THQ for ignoring Red Faction, but my point is you should stop being so needy. Neither Volition nor THQ will make you a knowledgeable mapper.

Mike I totally agree with you, I spent over a year playing with Red, getting frustrated and annoyed cause all these guys, most of them young enough to be my sons or daughters some even young enough to be my grandchildren, making these wonderful maps and me still struggling. Put the thing away vowing never to open it again lots of times. All it really took was a bit of encouragement from my RF mates and 'Lotsa' (sic) guidance from a mapping God and here I am, a quite respectable first map, released as part of the Weird Map Pack just last month.(DM-WMP-Hoops) Just stick with it, take your time, some things cant be done lots of things can if you go the right way about it. Trial and error is the key.

If we were good mappers, feeling confortable with editors, we would map for UT2004 or half-life II.
Even thou there have been and still are (more scarcely) good mappers working with RED, face the fact that we map for RF because we're either unable to map for another FPS or too lazy or impatient to learn to handle another editor.

Molo I dont agree with that, I have looked at other editors but those belong to games that I do not play.. I am mapping for RF because that is my game of choice. i enjoy playing Rf, I enjoy the community behind and because of RF and I enjoy the friends and aquaintences I have made in RF. I am not unable or too lazy to learn another editor, I am not too impatient to learn another editor, I just dont want too, and I think i probably speak for a lot of the more prolific mappers in RF. We do it because we love what RF has given us and we want to give something back, and also in an attempt to keep it together
