[glob2-devel] Map editor GUI rewrite

[Stéphane Magnenat]

Hi,

As you all love rewrite so much, le met propose one ;-)

The map editor has been the first part of Glob2 written, even before the 
libgag existed. It has been hacked several times since but in total 
anarchy. It is the most unusable part of Glob2. So I suggest to rewrite 
its GUI using libgag widgets and popup menus.

The idea is to have a menu bar at top, consisting in action and tool 
icons, that will be:

For action:
- Load
- Save
- Quit
- Edit script
- Team properties (AI/human/...)
For tools:
- Selection
- Terrain and ressource brush
- Building brush
- Unit brush

Actions will popup modal menus, tool will popup drop down menu. Tools 
have key shortcuts that popup menus just below the mouse for faster 
operations.

I suggest to use 32x32 icons, same look as the tab icons in game 
right-side menu. Any help drawing those icons is warmly welcome.

The bar will also contain the brush size and team add/remove.

This new editor should be much cleaner from a code side and much easier 
to use from a mapper side.
