I've been looking at the Domination maps, and it's quite easy to extract the component files from them. What is the position of Wargaming.net on third party (non-commercial) attempts to create a map editor for Domination?

It would be ideal if developers could answer some question about how the maps work and such, that would really help. If, on the other hand, Wargaming.net doesn't want other people messing with their product, I understand that too.

I was looking at the map files and they don't seem so complex it would be impossible to create an editor. I'm nowhere near getting an actual editor that would work at the moment, but I don't want to put a lot of hours into this and then get sued all over the place if I ever get it working. :)

Awaiting an answer,
Glyptar

We are planning to publicate some of MAPR maps with sources and tools for integration on our site. We hope to do this in 3 week.
So it will be a little easy to create map editor or make own map.

here it is possible to download sources of Micronesia to see that map editor is not an easy thing to do.
