Gimboid's Component Modding Program V 0.89

[Gimboid]

Major program update - Latest is Version 0.89

- ADDED - Multiple component extension feature, now you can create a family of components at the same time. EG. creating PDC 6-17 is done in 1 step instead of using the copy button 11 times

NOTE - the multiple component extension feature is working properly for non-weapon components and for weapon components where you extend the weapon range value by a maximum of 1 per component added, range extensions 2 or 3 per component do not work correctly at this time.

For the data fields, mineral cost, rad cost, etc, if you enter a negative value, the component you are extending it from will be decremented by that amount for every component added. Once the value reaches zero, or less then zero (it can only go < 0 during the addition process not when it is recording the values) the value is set to 0 for all the components created in the series after the value reaches zero.

(To any experienced modders out there, is it acceptable by seiv to have supply cost, tonnage, damage resistance for the component to be zero or should i change it to the arbitrary value of 1 instead?)

- The COPY button now works, so from the main screen you select the component you wish to copy and then it will display the copied component (so that you may modify the values slightly from the original) then the component is added to the component list exactly after the component that it was copied from.

Using the copy button means that you will manually have to change the fields (such as name, etc) to be different to the original. If you used the component extension feature instead it automatically incorporates the changed data fields AND updates the name so that the component name ends in the correct roman numeral EG. If you created Space Yards 4-20 then the component names for the series you create will end in the characters IV-XX inclusive.

***Please note as above, do not use the multiple component extension feature to create a series of weapon based components that extend the damage range by more then 1 square of range per component ***

-- Undocumented feature --

Double clicking a component from the component list is the same as pressing the edit button.

Next update should include

- Picture preview for component pic
- Ability to play the sound that is selected for that component

I would appreciate any comments, suggestions, bug reports, etc on this program Version.
