Can't edit the PDB files unless you know the internal structure, and currently only a few people know it. Besides, I doubt the creators would even let you edit the old levels, because that could screw with... some things (I can't say :( )

for example, on the first level where it teaches you how to play, once you destroy the little group of omni scouts, guards, and the bullpup, you could make it [$RANK] + 25 instead of + 1 . Hope that helps.

Yeah, that's a reason.

What I mean by not editing the PDB files is...

The missions in the game are already compiled, and you would need some sort of decompiler to make them into the .ld form to be able to edit them.

That would be impossible to decomple them. They are encrypted right after the compilation!!! So you would have to know the encryption code to decrypt and then somehow decompile it -- good luck!
