Feature Request: Support SS14 maps

[clorl]

Problem to be solved

SS14 works similarly to SS13 when it comes to data. This would basically just replace the parsing/load/saving part while keeping the great UI.

The equivalent of .dme file on SS14 is the Prototypes folder, which basically defines all the possible tiles and entities, just like the .dme file. Everything is in YAML and the data that you can change on entities is exposed. The map file (.dmm) is yet another YAML that you can just parse and load (you can even peek at the parsing code from the SS14 codebase).

Sugest a solution

SS14 works similarly to SS13 when it comes to data

Only in basic concepts. Like yeah, it has text files with data. Similarity ends here...

SS14 has different data structures, formats, icons handling, inheritance handling and a lot of other stuff. The idea is good, I was thinking about that. But the work and amount of time to spend is too large to do that in a spare time.

I might later add a more transparent indication that features like that won't be done for sure without paying for them.
