Last Month the Japanese try to retrive this mod a little bit more. They played in the at 2pm CET. At the moment the gametracker,com Server Monitorring is off. Hope soon they turn it on. The ranking seems to work.
It is certainly an interesting challenge for you then.
There have been several rfa applications and winrfa seems most popular. not that it doesnt have bugs.. but its functionality makes modding easier...
Modding maps takes time and so anything which speeds up that process usually wins the day.
It's purely about clicks... it takes so many clicks just to pack a map, open bf42, load map etc...
Make a fully functioning rfa tool and you may attract more people to the project.
However, I would say that the ability to edit con files within the rfa tool is very useful when tweaking a serverside patch/mod (ssm) file for example where the changes are purely text based.. but less important for client side mod (csm) where the changes are more physical*
*I'm just suggesting that modifying con files is more virtual and adding 3d models and textures etc is physical.. for the sake of this topic.. im sure there is a better way to phrase it.
So maybe dont focus on that ability to edit file within the editor.
You really need to fire up a pc emu on your machine and take a look at both winrfa and gmake. These are the two main choices for rfa extraction/compilation and I am very familiar with using both.
