Not only this, but with the Lua Activities, you do not need to add your mod to the index of Base.rte, since Lua looks through all the files to find the actors and weapons when specified.
If only this worked or could be controlled in the scene editor.
Also, is it just me or are the scene and area editors hazardous and sloppy in execution? The scene editor is doing decently, though it refuses to save the scene if it can't find a "scenes/" folder in the rte. The area editor is still quite difficult to use with problems such as saving scenes to Base.rte when not told to and deleting parts of the file it doesn't understand. (Like campaign mission definitions.) Also, I think the scene editor may have erased my areas. Not positive, I was being confused by juggling between files.
What we need is a redone and consolidated scene editor that takes care of both object placement and areas, and perhaps allows basic editing of campaign definitions and the creation of a basic Lua file, though it would still need to be edited elsewhere. A somewhat rethought bunker module system might be good too, though I'm not sure what would be best. I find a combination of the ease of the normal modules with the flexibility of Taehl's tiles to offer options to all parties. I'd like to see an official tile system. I bet Prom could really make the tiles feel fluid.
