The information in this article pertains to Red Faction 1 only.
RED is the Red Faction Level Editor. RED is usually assumed to mean "Red EDitor". Internally, RED is called DED. Given Red Faction was effectively built from the ashes of the abandoned Descent 4 project, it's safe to assume DED was to be the name of the Descent 4 editor.
Levels in Red Faction are comprised of a mixture of BSP brushes and objects. .rfl is the extension used for Red Faction levels.
Purpose
RED is used to produce levels (maps) for the PC and Playstation 2 game Red Faction. It should be noted however that while all maps for the PS2 version of the game were originally developed using RED, there is currently no known way to play custom RED levels on the PS2 version of the game.
RED can also be used to test various edits when developing mods for the PC version of the game.
