Default Re: SE5, Tell Aaron what\'s on your Wish List

I'm sure someone has already mentioned the map editor, but I would like to see map files in text format. It might require two such files: one for the warp points, and another for the stars/planets, but there's probably a way to do it with one. If the binary file is necessary, it could be generated from the text. The map editor's current user interface is just insane. All the warp point information has to be entered twice.

The line format for warp points could be something like:

Aldan, 4, 5, Arkite, 10, 5, image1, ability1, ability2, message

For stars/planets/asteroids:

Alden, star/planet/asteroid, image1, ability one, ability two, etc
