Default Re: Imagemod Component Pack update

SE5 data files are just compact SE4 files, with component/facility/vehicle families rolled into single formula-based entries instead of excessive long lists. The map related files are pretty much exactly the same as SE4, but with an extra level defining the actual models and bitmap animation effects. Shipset modeling is more complicated for those that only worked with Doga in the past, but anyone that used actual modeling apps just needs to use a .x-compatible format. AI is definitely more complicated though.
