MapStarter
Use this to create a base set of files for a new map. Supply long and short name for your new map and MapStarter will create a new directory, copy all the required files and ammend the 3 .scn files to use your new map name.
Note: Mapstarter is now included in EasyIDF
3D Collission Box Editor
Save your custom object in the 3ds file format and load it into the editor. Drag the corners of the box to define the collission boundry and then input the coordinates into the objtypes.cfg file.
Installation
Unzip the files into your insane folder.
3D Map Editor
Load up a map and edit the objects, sounds and checkpoints in fully 3D environment with user friendly interface and mouse control. Save the map and then play the game, everything will be just as you placed it in the editor. No more calculating ground height and x,y position, no more headscratching over rotation angles and no more 'floating' or 'sunken' objects.
Features include:
· Group objects together and copy/delete/move them all just by selecting the parent object
· Automatically set all road markers to ground level
· Automatically set all plants to ground level
· Autolevel option to angle object with the slope of the ground
· Gravity option to automatically position objects at ground level
Note: This was written to finalise existing maps and not for making them from scratch, although you can use it for this if you don't mind positioning every object individually!
Small Map Maker
This app makes the small navigation map you see in game.

3D Terrain Editor
Alter the height of any point on the map, paint directly onto the ground map, and display and paint the grd file layers directly onto the map
V1.7 now has option to edit the water height map (use the option in the edit menu)
Sky Viewer
This app allows you to cycle through a series of sky images and see what they will look like in game.
Probably not very useful but nice to look at!
Custom terrain and 3d skymodels can used.
NOTE: V1.97 onwards Include support for Trail Editor
NOTE: V1.7 seems to work ok but I found it on my drive and I haven't done any work on it for a long time so it may be a bit buggy
