Hi,

I've seen several bugs while using it:
* The copy/paste function for nodes doesn't seem work
* It is possible to move from one map to the other without the dialog asking if you want to save the routes (it was supposed to be implemented IIRC)
* Adding new levels doesn't adjust the existing route nodes (it was requested, don't know if it was implemented)
* Choosing a category (NWall, etc.) that doesn't have any entries gives an automatic error message
* Using TAB to switch between boxes on the individual nodes gets me an error message
* The error messages are simply too big (and annoying)

I'll Review the code, but please send me a PM, with all the information shown in the error window, that can speed up the process for this or next time :D

After reviewing

1- In the Route view, the copy/paste function only copies the Node info without the links, I'll change the GUI to reflect this
2- Yeaa, a route verification for saving was added in order to prevent losing unsaved route changes. The verification is shown every time you make a change in the map and try to change it without saving first, I added functionality so the hotkey ctrl + s  work on routes and topView, this way you should be able to save faster and skip the dialog.
3- yaaa, the levels hmmmm... maybe later
4- Fixed the issues with the empty category
5- I was not able to replicate this error, I did fix some of the tabs indexes, but if you provide more information I can try later.
6- Well the error message provides me with all the information I need in order to fix the bugs quickly, but be sure the more I'll work on this project the less anyone will see that window.

New version will be ready soon

New version, I also included the so famously wanted level route fix to add levels and moving the routes correctly, and many other minor fixes.

 :D

I'm also working on a integration with Volutar, now there is a button, but it only opens the Volutar editors,
Ill make it refresh it self from the changes @ volutar's later.

Hmm that was like 5 hours of work huh. Hope you guys enjoy it. I'm tired now.. work tomorrow.. more coding :D

Today I wake up a bit worry about the code for the leveling, because I didnt take into consideration the Links, are there going to be missing links if u remove a level?

I'm going to do some testings, and if I have time today or tomorrow maybe I'll work on an autoUpdate feature

Hmm yes missing links are kept, this is probably a minor bug, but I'll fix it

just tried is works fine.

When i save images as bmp from spk file (sometimes) it gives a crash with option to close or quit. Clicking close does nothing . Clicking quit works. Image is still saved. So the program works just thinks it doesn't  :)

Thank you for the hard work you put into this. Thank you very much.

How do you identify these small "corner" tiles?
I suppose you're deciphered bigwall flag for the topview, but there's no "corner" piece there. Is it just an object with "free movement"?

Hi, Im using loft information, but not all loft (ex: Some corners) are identified as the correct object shape, maybe later i'll add other loft combinations,

Im not sure woot thoes flag(big wall, or some others) do or represent, since they are edited in ur tool, got lil experience on them
Maybe ill check the mcd info later

Happy coding

Some minor improvements, including better topview corners and capacity to set routes to dif height in UFO, to eliminate a problem with basement UFO levels

One question:
Is it possible to include seperate Map/route paths for custom maps?
Or do they all have to be in the OpenXcom folder. i like to keep this seperate and it would also make more sense.

I'd also very much prefer to have them separated from vanilla stuff, mainly for ease of modding. Hopefully it'll happen some day.
