D3EDIT beta A03_3g by Atan

Based on the Outrage D3Editor by Gwar followed by the great modifications from Nirvana and
Otherone, I began to modify D3Edit a bit so that it met my suggestions / imagination and
to fix some bugs.
The fixes / improvements below are the result of at least 10 beta builds. These have been
tested on Win98, Win2000 and WinXP.
The beta testers were: Atan, Roadrunner, Fischlein, Dark, Diti, DigiJo, Floyd and DwnUndr.
Thanks to Roadrunner who offered the web space for this project, and Fischlein who started a
new forum for this project.
Thx for DwnUdr who condensed this text file and worked it up for our english speaking folks Image


*** Use this version at your own risk. ***

The improvements are listed in the following sections:
A) Pull-down bars
Image Menu Selections
C) General improvements
D) Bug Fixes

Whoa, that's awesome. How long have you been working on this? Must have took some serious dedication to make sure it got out Christmas day. Anyway, thanks. I can't wait to try this out on my level.
