Default Re: Space Empires V Editor 1.1 Released

Yup. So, here's the fixed list so far for 1.1.1:

General Bugfixes:
  • Bugfix: Even better enforcement of legal mod directory locations (GameTypes is not a legal mod directory)
  • Bugfix: Maximul Level and Custom Groups limited to ranges of [0,65535] and will now complain about the out-of-range data instead of just getting internal errors and doing the figurative equivalent of littering bits all over your computer's floor. *sigh*

Component Editor Bugfixes:
  • All Weapon Effect Name fields have a "None" option now
  • Weapon Explosion Effect Name now reads from BitmapEffects_SpaceCombat.txt and BitmapEffects_GroundCombat.txt to fill in its allowable values.
  • Weapon Space Display Effect Name and Weapon Ground Display Effect Name now only allow "Weapon Explosion" Specific Effect types from BitmapEffects_SpaceCombat.txt and BitmapEffects_GroundCombat.txt.
  • Weapon Delivery Type is apparently not used by the game and can be an arbitrary value. Changed editor to allow arbitrary values for this field
  • Vehicle Types now reads VehicleUnitTypes.txt and adds those to the allowable list so that new vehicle types can be used.
  • Weapon Target Types now reads VehicleUnitTypes.txt and adds those to the allowable list so that new vehicle types can be targeted.
  • General Group can now accept arbitrary values


Still left to fix:
  • Weapon Damage Type Formula seemed to be misleading and not a formula, but it turns out that it is an editable formula with specific variables possible. Fixed the editor to handle this.
  • Component Type List can now accept arbitrary values

The last two are somewhat more difficult fixes, though, so unknown how long it will take yet. Hopefully, I'll have a release ready tonight sometime.
