Your HUD Builder is completely awesome. I've used it, and it has totally enhanced my tribes experience. I wanted to make a suggestion for a new interface just for maps. Where mappers can post their maps, whether in beta or in full release. Kind of like a central change control system for all mappers to post the latest versions of their maps. Maybe with an added feature to allow people to build their own map packs and install them. This would be a great too for Server Admins as well to download the latest map releases as well. Does anyone else see any value in this? Are you willing to put this together Pronigy? Thanks!

No problem Bro. I considered this when i saw the UnGrapple code that required a client side file as well. So maybe I need tabs at the top of the page for (Huds, Maps, Addons)

Then you click the tab and select the components you want. They would probably generate a unique file for each top level tab. Example, The huds tab would only include huds and not tabs or addons. The maps tab would only produce a file with maps and not huds etc.

I'll tackle this and get it to a basic level. Then maybe I'll clean the code up and recruit some more developers interested in this "builder" suite.
