David... I think that the AI bits would be fantastic.

Your modding tool is so close to being finished... I would love to see the it completed.

Also I think that you should contact Aaron about creating a modding tool for his next se release and the one after that.

Good work deservers rewards david. And the modding tool is IMHO the second most important thing to have ... ( sorry the game itself is more important )

So back to work

Per request: thousands of lines of undocumented spaghetti code written in VB6.

I'll upload Version 1.73 source when I get home.

Here is a horrible bug for ya...

When editing SystemTypes.txt, if I delete an object in the middle of the list, the program creates a new entry at the end that is identical to the Last entry, rather than just lowering the number of objects by 1.

Ex:
Pre-altered:
star
asteroid
asteroid
asteroid
planet

After deleting an asteroid:
star
asteroid
asteroid
planet
planet

It should not be creating a new planet there... :'S

In addition to that, it seems to enjoy deleting multiple entries at a time. :'S

Ok... the modder has huge problems with system types such as

Standard 1 No AS I
Standard 1 AS I
etc.

It keeps thinking there are random objects in such system entries that are NOT in the file. There should be a bunch of asteroids, but sometimes it thinks they are planets!

Needless to say, this has been less than helpful to me.

As far as i can tell this error occurs only when trying to delete a system object. When you first click the system everying gets shown ok. Does this make sense with what you see?
I have just fixed this. I'll test it a bit more and get a new Version uploaded.
