an attempt to animate spiders

[SigniferOne]

Well, the way the settlements were done was by constructing them from stand-in pieces in Max, exporting a .cas and then running a small utility called cas_converter on it which would generate a large chunk of output for inclusion in descr_settlement_plans.txt ... nothing as complex as a whole "settlement editor" was ever written. But I will discuss releasing the utility and a sample settlement with El Queso Grande - no guarantees as always, as cheese is a curious substance and moves in mysterious ways ;)

Ohh my goodness, yes that would be is perfect :)

Oh by the way, I am assuming it's true already, but asking for completeness, just in case: BI will let us parse descr_skeleton.txt, right? When trying to debug vanilla RTW to perform this, you were telling us about how the parsing worked on your side, so it's only natural that this feature is included with BI... right? :)
