This is new map editor that I'm developing for FAF. Its still in alpha, but core of the editor is done. I'm working on more tools and features. Goal is to replace official map editor with this new one and make it to fully work with FAF.
Editor is made with Unity Editor. If someone want to help, then get project from github and send me PM.

v0.700

Water - Added waves renderer
Water - Added waves generator
Terrain - Added experimental Generate random heightmap

Waves!
Finally map editor has support for water waves. Took me some time to reverse engenier how they exactly works.

Generator works simmilar to GPG editor, but with few new tricks:

Density - In GPG when we press generate editor spawn waves witch 10% chanse for each possible position in selected ShoreDepth. This allows you to chose how many of them you want to generate.
Try prevent close waves - Editor will try to not spawn waves too close to each other
Search angle & angle range - Allows for generating waves incoming from one direction with range.

Wave patterns can be replaced or changed in FAFeoreverMapEditor/Structure/Waves/wavepatterns.lua

Wave are still missing Undo/Redo and frame animations, but that will be added in future release.

Neroxis Map Generator
I was working with Sheikah to impelent map generator features. Right now we compiled code to work with faf editor and in near future we should have features like creating new random map, loading biomes to existing maps or props presets.

Markers - Added option to display predefined ranges from Spawn Points (build range, PD t1, t2 & t3)
Units - Editor now renders strategic icons

Editor - Added Duplicate function (Ctrl + D)
Editor - Added Copy, Paste and Duplicate under Edit menu
Editor - Added UI Scale in preferences

Strategic Icons
Editor finally renders unit icons with sorting and custom effect on wreckage units.

Weather
You can now add and remove weather nodes in editor. Editor will probably never has support for displaying them, because using weather effects (clouds etc.) on maps is a controversial topic. They looks nice but many players hate them, so I don't want to make it simple enough so all 'trash' maps will now had everything covered with clouds.

Quality of life improvements
You can now scale whole editor UI from 25% to 400%.
Duplicate feature will allow for faster copy/pasting of selected props/decals/units.
Spawn ranges will help you find proper distances from mexes and other spawn points.
Double clicking on units group will select all units inside this group so you will be able to faster find what units are inside it. If you want to select all units in a group exept one of its subgroup you can first doubleckick main group and then doubleckick + alt on subgroups so they will be removed from selection.

Elevendy

I've tried using your program to export heightmaps but I can't get any other program to read what is exported, be it the .RAW file or .R16 container. Claims it is corrupted.

Edit: I have managed to get the .RAW to open in photoshop now.

Also, the link for the wiki article has changed.
