Well, I don't know how many people would find this to be a good idea, or if it'd be easy enough to add to make it worthwhile... but,



A feature on the mass room editor that would redraw the current map, highlighting the room range that you entered, would be cool.



Say you enter rooms 10062-10328 into the mass room editor while you have a map of a current area loaded, and hit the button, it'd redraw it from its current starting point, only highlighting all the rooms in that range in red. And perhaps telling you how many rooms are outside of that viewing window.



I say this because even though I have my room ranges marked on the maps I draw on paper before putting them in game, it'd be nice to be able to view the area that will be affected by the mass edit before clicking go.



::shrug:: what do you think? Worthwhile?



**edit** Oh yes. On a side note, a way to mark control rooms would be cool.

I'm currently working around this by running the mass room editor with "1" in the command text field. This puts the command marker on all rooms that will be affected, but it would cause a problem if commands were already present in the area.

So really the new feature would just be another cool option, not really anything important.

well i dont think i could make exactly what you are saying an option. one reason being that your range could fall off the map if the rooms were too far apart. what i could do is add more logging options and then add a preview job button like the importer has.



to comment on your "**edit**", i don't know if you've figured this out already judging by your second post, but the map does mark command rooms. click "options" on the map.

No no, not marking command rooms. Control rooms. All rooms in an area have the same control room. Was wondering if there could be an option to mark that room.
