Re: CF: Advise on map editor.



Regarding overlay fix:  I suggest that a version be made which attempts
to remove all overlays with unions and that the unions be defined so
that the physical layout of the structure is unchanged.  Thus, if there
is a mistake in splitting the overlay, it shouldn't affect the game
since it still the same address in the structure.  Then individual
variables can be split from the overlay and play tested to verify
the union was defined correctly.

This would largely address the overlay problem for programming and
archetypes, but shouldn't cause bugs.
