Case study

QuestEditorRe: rebuilding the Alien Shooter quest editor

QuestEditorRe rebuilds the original QuestEditor as a standalone Windows application and a Win32 DLL compatible with map editors for Alien Shooter 2 and related games. Its C++ implementation edits levels.cfg, levels.db and mission.txt while preserving unknown fields and unchanged bytes where possible, and supports quest links, properties and backups.
