In my usual excellent timing, the website hosting the programs I have written about below (http://www.rarewitchproject.com/), has just gone down. They are presently working on a site wide redesign. Will update when site comes back up. Sorry about this

Update 2: The site is now back up. Enjoy the redesigned goodness - http://www.rarewitchproject.com

Following on from the post a few days back - I have found a number of programs that help customise goldeneye. Not only can new single player levels be made and played (in emulator OR console) but all the levels have been unlocked and can be played in multiplayer.

The first utility has been out for a little while now - Goldeneye Full Face Mapper.

This program allows you to replace any texture in Goldeneye - from the wall / decals to smoke and even faces. This is a feature that RARE had completed and intended to be released with Perfect Dark but didnt due to legal concerns. Now, with a little tweaking you can change all the faces of the built in bad guys in Goldeneye.

Update: SubDragon from Rarewitch project emailed to let me know that this tool is no longer required as the goldeneye setup editor v2.1 can do this as well. Its still useful for a quick and dirty tweak however.

The second program is the most impressive - it is called the Goldeneye Setup Editor.

This is the second version of this program. The first was released in 2005 but everything had to be done manually in hex codes and as a result I didnt get anywhere with this. The new version allows for visual editing of levels and object placement and is highly recommended. It allows anything to be changed, from the missions to the placement of enemies / objects. Several user created levels are already available and range from retweaked original levels to completely new maps.
