What is it?
That's easy. It's the nFlavor Map Editor or NFMapEdit for short.
Why is it?
Maps in Rappelz are a fairly complicated endeavor and while truly brilliant developers like @[Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...] have released close approximations of this utility. You can never really beat the original in this case.

How do I use it?
Now that is not so easy. But as this thread ages I will aim to complete more and more of the documentation you will be able to find below in regards to operating the utility.

First Start
When starting for the first time, you will be requested to provide a 'Resource' folder. This is the folder where a structured/unstructured client dump is located.
However, with this version you can also provide a client directory (containing data.000-008)
Opening Maps
Maps can be opened in multiple ways:
- Press (and holding) the left 'ALT' key, then pressing the 'F' key, then pressing the 'O' key.
- Click the 'File' menu and then click 'Open Map (O)'
- Using the 'CTRL' + 'O' key combination
- Provide proper 'X' and 'Y' map coordinates in the 'Information' group box
- Example: m009(x)_004(y) or x:9 y:4 is Horizon
- No layer is required
- # of Additional Maps to Load can load adjacent maps but performance takes a giant hit, it is not recommended to load more than 1 additional map
Panes

Notice
This tool was not created by or 'stolen' by me. Some group of pretenders spent a lot of money and released the mercurialWork SVN here. I just fixed their mistakes, actually compiled a readable english version and released it for the benefit of the community. ;)
If you have a question about a particular functionality I have not covered here you are welcome to come my [Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...] and ask one of our knowledgeable volunteer developers. :)
More coming soon. As-well as many other releases ^^
