Awesome, thanks!

The "L" key doesn't work for me (it freezes), but it's a minor inconvenient, since I can change the file in the config.ini and I have all the file names in mapstats.txt

I urge anyone trying out this viewer to open the Hall of the Fire Lord in MM6 (D04.blv) or Tomb of Varn (Pyramid.Blv), those dungeons are complex and have multiple floors / layers.

Thanks for posting this editor.

I thought that Castle Alamos or Castle Darkmoor are big but when I saw entire Tomb of VARN...

Cool stuff!

I think we'll se some MM6-8 map EDITOR in next few months, because many people have prooven, that they know everything about map formats of these games :-)

The strangest thing i noticed about MM7 maps is, that the castle in The Pit is not another dungeon map, but it's connected with the map of one of the pits. Very strange thing for a MM7 engine :)
