David G your da man... Why if you didn't live so close to steel town I would head down there and buy you a beer

David G. This is a very well designed program for making mods. Superb. Very good work. My thanks to you for your time and dedication to this pinnacle of the programmers art.

Thanks for all the positive feedback

(without which I'd likely lose the motiviation to keep working on it)

P.S. Any suggestion on what I can add next. I guess Races is the obvious one but man some of those files are long and complicated.

P.S.S. Any VB programers know if VB has a limit of the number of controls you can have in an app?

There is a limit on the number of controls on a particular 'form' -- but not in an app (unless it's 64k cntrls - which I doubt). I've never run into a limitation except in VB3.

The 'obvious' next utility might not be so easy. We really need a formation editor that can handle the new 100 ships limit. Manually laying out a formation and writing the X/Y coordinates is a royal pain even for the old 30 ship limit. Now it's 100!? Eek!

The formation editor that was available previously (might still be in the download area?) worked well enough. It let you use a 'click & drag' interface to position the ships. It's just not able to handle 100 ships and the author refuses to try to update it.

DavidG, I love your SEModder 1.5 and am starting my own mod. I have a question though.

On the left side a tree is displayed where you select the part you want to mod. One branch of that tree is Races, but you cannot alter anything in those Races files. Is this function not yet incorporated? If it is not do you plan to incorporate at some future date?

Thank you for an excellent modding tool.
