Did you get the email I sent you? Gmail was acting funny so I wasn't sure it went through.

Yes, I did. Sorry, forgot to reply

I've got the image replaced for the next version. Thanks for doing this? Who (i.e what name) should I give credit to?

Credit should go to: Rob Allen Beckwith

If you want, you could also mention my business, Shadowstar Design at www.shadowstardesign.com. This is where I sell most of my artwork, though I've had to cut back on that quite a bit in order to save money.

I am starting to use your editor for real purpose (not testing) as it makes the file editing so much more natural.
But I met a new problem. The "AI Tag xx" abilities are not accepted in the component editor. As I am cirrently implementing that part I need to go back to notepad

Hmmm, I thought I put those in there. Well, if you want a quick fix, find the file <SE5Editor home dir>/data/consts.txt. Add the appropriate type to the AbilityType section.

Any chance you'll extend the SEV Editor to include the systemtypes.txt files?

It solves the problem, thanks.

Hey, would it be possible to add a "copy component" button in addition to current "add" and "remove" buttons? Indeed very often I'm using an existing component not to have to write every caracteristic from scratch.

Yeah, that's a really good idea. Too bad I completely missed this until just now. I'll see about adding it soon though - it should be easy to implement.
