In e-mail correspondence with several users of the ClarkWehyr X-COM Editor Suite v1.00, I've been asked to post a list of the planned enhancements to the editor: A few UI tweaks have been made. Auto-rename for soldiers according to stats--i.e., "Harry Miller" would be renamed "Harry Miller T-fS-", meaning that the soldier possesses good TU, low bravery, average firing accuracy, good strength, low psi strength. "Good" is defined as over 60, "average" is 50-59, and "low" is under 50. These values would most likely be user-configurable. Max values for soldier attributes and inventory will be made user-configurable. Sorting soldiers and/or reordering soldiers by hand. Summary base and soldier reports--something like this: Item Base1 Base2 Base3 Base4 Base5 Base6 Base7 Base8 --------------------------------------------------------------------- Name USA-1 Euro-1 Asia-1 Euro-2 SoAfri --- --- --- Sold 10 15 25 3 2 --- --- --- HWPs 1 2 1 0 1 --- --- --- ... E-115 200 215 315 25 0 --- --- --- Soldier TU Stam Health Brav Rxn FA TA Str PStr -------------------------------------------------------------------- Harry Mill 69 46 32 10 38 54 59 61 13 ... You will have the option to dump the report to a printer, to a disk file (.TXT) or to a comma-delimited data file (.CDF) suitable for importing into a spreadsheet or database application. Thanks go to Hans-Joachim Gurt and Detonate for their suggestions. The next release of the editor will probably not be until at least v1.10; the non-released version is currently at v1.01. I plan for all of the above to be featured in the next release, time permitting. If you have any suggestions, feel free to e-mail me or post your ideas to news:comp.sys.ibm.pc.games.strategic (I do not have access to alt.games.x-com as of yet). -- Robert B.
