just... please tell me it uses bm as a base, rather than stock.

Yay for the editor and the mod !

Great news. 1.4 still seems to be fully compatible with the latest versions of SE V, though, so I wonder what you're changing. I used it to build the DJAS mod.

Mainly, I'm just adding more features. I've got a Damage Types Editor now and am considering a script editor because I'm getting really tired of the idiotic AI. I've been avoiding modifying the AI scripts because I knew it would become a huge time sink for me, but at this point, I don't see a way to make the game fun to play without making the AI reasonable. And I really want this game to be fun.

And yes, DevnullMod is using BM Mod 1.09 as a base (though the components, tech areas, and facilties have been almost completely revamped and used BM Mod 0.99 as the base. I've been applying changes selectively from later BM Mod versions in those areas).

What would the script editor do? Provide syntax highlighting and possibly intellisense-type language completion? Its not like the data files that actually have a fairly fixed format. You can define whatever functions you want in the scripts, as well as completely change how any stock function works (or even remove some and rewrite stuff how you like).

Not so worried about syntax highlighting (though that would probably be nice), but I'm just too used to Visual Studio's ability to keep track of methods. I want a dropdown to show me what methods are in a file and take me to it quickly. Hunting for a method is annoying.
