Enhancements to the MegaGlest Map Editor

[MuwuM]

I personally miss some features in the mapeditor version 1.6.0. That's why I decided to add these to the editor.  (I increased the version number as there will be much new stuff / I did some experimental work with a HTML based editor, but it had unsolvable performance issues, so I know what I want and how I should implement)

In this topic I will preview my work. In that topic is the feature request for implementation to megaglest.

First feature is a heightmap - view for the editor ...

Code: [Select]

Second is the option to hide water ... it is especially useful for editing under-water-structures

Code: [Select]

Would it be possible to implement the ability to create a map from a greyscale image (a literal heightmap)? For example, pure white cells are the maximum height and pure black cells are the minimum height. rgb(122,122,122) would be around the normal height, and so on.

.... I got it working in HTML and PHP .... so yes. This will come very likely. Also the export to a grayscale image representing the heightmap is intendet. Also I will try to add a view style displaying walkable and not walkable areas. And a view style using tileset textures.
