This is cool! Is Editor editing straigh .exe files or just something else?
I have used Cheat Engine to change those led messages, but changes were only temporarely in use...
And i dont want touch for default messages inside .exe

But, is those LED messages editable inside .lvl?
It's possible that it works different way than i though.
The DLL gets loaded into the game and hooks various functions. So the methods of changing the LED messages are:

1. Hex edit the EXE, this is a permanent change.
2. Patch the strings in memory at runtime (aka cheatengine) this is not permanent
3. Inject code into the game (my ddraw.dll) which can read some file (myledmesages.txt from the .lvl for example) which then patches the strings as in 2.

Hopefully this makes some sort of sense :P
