After nearly 6 years since my proof of concept experiments with the TOD files I'm ready to release a first version of the TODEditor (could almost be a nominee for the Duke Nukem Forever Award ).
Main Features:
Easy editing of TOD files: cut/copy/paste, moving and rotating of objects Import of object models files: *.lod, *.obj or *.3ds  
Warning:
Use at your own risk. The TODEditor is currently in an early beta stage and can contain serious bugs. So, please backup your terrain files before you work with the TODEditor. I have warned you!
The program is free for whatever use (commercial or personal).
Installation:
Extract the content of the zip package to a convenient location.
The TODEditor depends on the Microsoft Visual Studio 2019 C++ libraries. If not already installed on the computer (e.g. by other applications) they have to be installed by running vcredist_x64.exe (you can find it in the redist subfolder of this package).
Start the program by double click the todeditor.exe.
For further information see TODEditor_readme.txt.
Update 29.03.2025: I think it's best for the community if my tools are freely downloadable for everyone. External download link: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/5m8zr6odggwn5aivevv4v/TODEditor_V0.1.2.zip?rlkey=0togau4znjxrjyw4arvn19itg&st=87b65uok&dl=0

SF2 North Cape Terrain Revamp            5/15/23
== For SF2, any and all, but designed with SF2:E in mind ==
*Please note, if you have the original, I suggest backing it up, simply for safety's sake. It will also archive it, for historical purposes.*
This is a revamp of the North Cape terrain by Baltika. It has gone through a somewhat large rebuild, mostly to clean up and add "eye candy" to the airports and some of the other military targets. It still remains in the single 'winter' season. Ports have been upgraded with buildings, docked ships and other martime goodies. The movement ini has also been modified, with additional and/or re-routed routes. It should be noted, this is =NOT= a NavalMap, so don't expect any carrier action. Limited Nations is also "TRUE", using the Usual Suspects (tm).
I've supplied a great number of GroundObjects, but you'll want to double check them after unzipping, to make sure you have everything before installing. Meaning: not everything has been supplied. Ground defenses (AAA & SAMs) use the generic tags (SAMLauncher, SAMRadar, etc), so there should be no problems with the GameEngine (tm) using what's in you Mods Folders.
As is always reccomended, unzip to a temp folder or your desktop to give easy access to the rest of this readme for it's install instructions. PLEASE READ THEM!!!
Good Hunting!

cSomers611, nightshadeP/R     test team

a special thanks to Nyghtfall: my original request was for a new fakepilot model similar to the original mod
Nyghtfall came through in spades with a beautiful fake pilot model. The same day he sent that to me however,
Sundowner sent a full up model with all parts including the permanent strike cam in the Sparrow bay. While I
went with Sundowners approach instead, i still highly appreciate Nyghtfall taking the time to assist my original
request.
        Instructions
unzip, unload contents of "2 Mod folder" into mod folder of your choice.
