The primary benefit of this change is allowing mods to snip out and replace individual entries without having to drop entire files, or to append a few lines to an existing entry, etc.

I reworked the object load system so we can now alter text definitions all the way up to the end - it used to process them as they were loaded. There can be up days and down days, some with a ton of progress and some with very little tangible to show, but the mind has completely disappeared into the work. I feel like I've entered the same frame of mind I was in when I was finishing my thesis. Ah shoot, sorry for being silent the last few weeks.You can make a big looping rampy tunnel from elevation 40 to elevation -20 and the new system can fill it with tracks in two clicks (or slightly more keypresses!) if you have the materials around.

Seems to be working okay so far! There's some trickiness since the paths shouldn't for instance span a chasm and loop back down under themselves on a ramp (since that would invalidate the ramp) - I caught some of it and it works okay, but I'm sure there's some weird edge cases etc. If you like it, click, if you don't like it, move to a closer point until it picks the right path and finish up your design piecemeal. The placement of constructed track ramps was still acting weird, so yesterday I finally did what I should have done all along, for both carved and constructed tracks - click point one, hover over point two (on any z-level) and the game displays a track path for you.
