CentrED stands for Centralized Editing. It is a Client/Server based [[Map|map]] editor for Ultima™ Online.
4 1 Andreas Schneider
The intention behind this is, that the only available GodClient is rather old and was never really supported by any server emulator (at least not that I know), but I wanted the ability for several people to work on the terrain and statics together, without having to constantly transfer their current state.

h2. Future
35 1 Andreas Schneider
36 2 Andreas Schneider
* Restrict clients (with white and black lists)
37
  _Allow clients to only work in certain areas, or forbid clients to work in certain areas. *(partially implemented)*_
38
* Upload and merge diff files
39
  _one could locally edit some places with MulEditor and upload the result_
40
* Keep two versions of the map and allow selectivly merging and exporting of changes
41
  _This will allow creating patches which could be used to synchronize with local copies of the map files. It comes in handy when several areas are edited at once but you want to merge some of them to the current Shard and it's clients._
42
* ToDo List
43
  _Mark areas on the radar and add comments to them._
44
* UOArchitect/Multi.txt import
45
* Possibility to combine tiles
46 1 Andreas Schneider
  _This will allow for building presets for trees and similiar "objects"._

I will extend this list if something new comes to my mind and I will remove items once they are implemented (see Changelog).
