Default Re: SEV Map Editor?

The map files for SEIV are binary files rather than the text files that many parts of the program use. So, producing maps still means using the klunky old map editor. I've been wishing for something that uses text files for maps as well. Because of the difference in file formats this is not a trivial problem.

I myself would settle for a better interface for creating the files we presently use. But, since nobody knows the map file format like Aaron, it might take Aaron to create it. At least it would be an easier job.
