I've still got to fix up the Spawn scripts and see if I can do the AutomapNotes for all areas- minor issues- but the Trigger, container, and door codes seem to be giving me trouble due to the vertice issue. I'll keep trying, but it's not as simple as I thought. If you have any ideas for those, let me know in the other topic.

Just a question, why do you force the use decimal numbers in write_long.
Is this a WeiDU restriction? - in this case, Weimer could help you.
Or your personal decision, then i wonder  :)
If Weidu is used for this extent of hacking existing areas then probably setting bits, deleting bits, increasing counters in offsets, etc, could have separate statements.
