Wanted! Coder for MapEddi2 hack

Hi there. I am searching for a coder who would like to hack a rather unique C64 tool.
MapEddi2 originally had been developed by Mario Knezovic/Bonespark and was supposed to create character based backgrounds for the never released game “Lethal Xcess”.

The editor supports basic features like variable maps (about 20 screens max), multicolour charsets and 2x2 blocks. Most interesting feature is a something I would call mini-fli. It is possible to switch up to two usually fixed colours or one colour plus the whole character sets each block line.
The graphic artist is able to use three character/block sets for each background map. There are no restrictions related to the resolution.

But there is a problem with the controls, because it requires a special adaptor and an Amiga- or Atari ST mouse. There is only one existing adaptor left and unfortunately it is broken.

IMHO it is a tragedy that this phenomenal tool is useless this way. I would be very pleased if somebody could create a hack with a 1581 mouse support. The result is dedicated to the scene – non profit.

oh I forgot. The tool also supports the 8 multicolor to 8 highres definitions for chars and the colors will be set to the blocks (wich means multiple usage possible)...

sounds like the game editor of a game I saw on the GTW site. I forgot its name, it was to be a vertical shoot em up. and the authors spoke of similar features of the game map. the gfx was very impressive. I wonder how they wanted to plex sprites over this tho :) nmi&irqs probably.

Bingo. And I am the fool who is responsible that this game had been canceled.
