It's finally open source! Wow, I hosted a server back in 2006 and used to play this game all the time back then. The European players would annihilate me until I learned how to prone-fly with the sniper rifle. I still have a collection of maps I made back then that I included on the server. For anyone that remembers...

The map editor (called Soldat PolyWorks) is also FLOSS. It is written in Visual Basic 6 and uses DirectX 8 though.

Might need to rewrite it or use one of the other community made map editors in the future, especially when people on other Platforms want to start mapping.
