Well that is the thing, if people don't know how to edit they won't. Editing for H&D Deluxe is pretty difficult, well for most of us

I haven't edited for Deluxe in like 12 months

maybe even longer! I still know it all. I love the game and will not see it die, unless H&D3 has an editor

People are editing for Deluxe, it just takes time. Questions are sometimes asked but yes it is true we rarely see projects completed.
I hope a new help file explaining it all will inspire people to create missions for the game they love :)
I have the new web site to complete first but I want to get the planning done for this document as soon as possible. I guess the main focus will be 3d max 8)
