If i remember correctly compare2 is just a binary compare to verify changes to files... Course I probably remember wrong... There's also the mapper.lbm (or whatever) file you can find in the DATs which seems to contain relevant GUI stuff for their own mapper.

And Dims, when you mention "removed" you mean they replaced the data with nops/nulls, just "cut it out", or used a "no-mapper-compile"? I'm guessing the third personally as it seems the most obvious.

i found something cool on the fallout 1 cd. it was the basis for movement. it actually let you create your own landscapes by coloring them.
