First release and its results

Well, after holding the code back for so long, I decided to release a small alpha of the editor. The 'new' editor of course. It went out that I really suck at GUI design.

But however, I gave this Version out in WoW.DeV forums to let ppl try open any known file with it and report bugs. And they did :) Thank you.



Okay so there is a bug if u try open a file that the Java GUI (the tree) crashes. This is my fault. The GUI code is just too worse. I have to redo it somewhen but not now.

More interesting was a bug i called "the shadow bug". It seems that blizz started to null out shadow layers in their latest adt releases. Sometimes the shadow subchunk is just missed. Not empty, not zero lenght. No, completely missing. Its weird. But i just solved it by recreate an new, empty chunk if this happend.
