• Fixed a bug where the editor ignored AllowToPlace=no when looking up connected tiles to place
• Fixed a bug where AITriggers were written incorrectly if a weight was 0
• Fixed a bug where you could not input decimal numbers in AITrigger weights
• (DTA) Fixed a bug where veins were rendered in the wrong palette
• (RA2/YR) Fixed newly-created standard houses having a null HouseType

v1.1.1

The highlight of this release is the new Connected Tile drawing tool. This tool can be used to quickly draw lines of cliffs, shores, and roads without having to place each piece down manually. Credits to ZivDero for coding the initial version of this tool, which we then improved on together.
