I dunno, I think you'll still be in business. Starcraft came with one of the best map editors ever created for a game and still groups like Camelot Systems came out with editors to transcend the boundardies of the built-in map editor.

Hmm, well if you think there will be a need for modding then we shall mod!

RE: Out of business

I've played around with WorldEd(The one in the press beta), and I got to say, it really needs an Undo/Redo feature. It's a fairly nice editor, but there are wide areas that could stand to be improved.

We can't just 'hack' in a button we'd have to make a whole new program for that.
 
RE: Out of business

I know that. I'm just backinmg up what Xotor said. Even though it ships with an editor, there's a lot of room for making a better editor.
 
RE: The Mod Squad Site

I don't know if that the answer of what I am going to ask has been already answered (I have been very busy with University lately) so I haven't checked out this site recently. My question (though it won't look like one) is this: The Pipboy2000 LE site says that it is down, however it also states, their mods and applications are still available for download. Whenever I try to download a mod from the window that pops up, the site asks me for a password (which I obviously don't have, as I am a mediocre hacker). Is the site broken or is it supposed to be that way? Where can I download the files, if I can't do it from the The Mod Squad's site? Any help (except flames of course, although I fail to see how those would be considered to be help) would be appreciated, thanks.

It because I am using akamai server's to try and speed up downloads for everyone but that's not working so I will try to fix it.
