Haven't seen it yet, though I'd love to peek at the cgi for that.
As for map editing. In theory it's easy as all hades. An example line from a map text file is:
L 7076.3838, -2039.4155, -63.2177, 7076.7866, -2000.4374, -63.2177, 150, 0, 200
Which I've concluded as being:
[L],[A X coord],[A Y coord],[A Z coord],[B X coord],[B Y coord],[B Z coord],[Line Red component],[Line Blue component],[Line Green component].
...labels are like this
[P],[X coord],[Y coord],[Z coord],[Red],[Blue],[Green],[Font size],[Text]
The two types I've found so far are L (for lines) and P (for text markers)
In practice, it would be extremely easy to make a map editor. But there are alot of lines. =) Plus it'd be more of a project for someone working in a less limited programming language. The qbasic version I'm using is limited to 160k of usable RAM. =P But I'll see what I can do. =)
I can add tick marks to the maps too now. Who knows, I might move this thing up to C/C++ code. (plus...colored lines would be easier to do in C with larger array space)
