Getting back to the original topic of this post.

I'm going to be putting an improved interface onto the testbed creator that basically allow you to add or update games without having to edit the xml.

There'll be an extra button next to the Create .hst button to add a new game which will ask you for the game name.

Underneath the current message it will have a proper interface to edit the current game selected from the dropdown above along with a Save button to save the config back to xml.

It'll Basically have Textboxes for
XY File Location
M File Location
H File Location
HST File Location

A dropdown box to select a player
A text box to enter a race file for the selected player
Text boxes to enter tech levels for the selected player

A dropdown box to select a design slot
A dropdown box to select a hull to use in that design slot
A dropdown box to select a item slot in that hull
A dropdown box to select the category of item in the selected item slot
A drop down box to select the item to put in the selected item slot

A button to save the updated config file.

The Design editor is still not as friendly has the one stars uses, but it will be a lot easier then modifying the xml file with numbers that need looking up and will allow me to get rid of most of the extra files that are currently in the zip file.

I'm expecting to do this sometime before the weekend, I'll do another post when it's ready and has been posted on the server.
If someone can think of an even easier way before then to edit the config file then let me know and I'll see if it easy enough to code.
