Description

Since the last revision (shown here: Moddb.com) I've made considerable optimizations to the code to increase performance - notably in reducing loading time (its all-but instantaneous). Before the program was over 3,000 lines - now its 1,200 lines including all the additional functions and features. The main optimization work was done on ensuring reusable code was in sub routines rather than repeated, any complicated IF's were reduced with FOR & array combinations and just some general tidying up.

The translation files have been split up, notably keeping vistapoint, zone and language names separate as this considerably reduces the file size of the main file to a mere 24 lines. Themes have also been improved to support editing font and background colors while the program runs in CLI mode.
Vistapoint and the zone (finish) XY co-ordinates are now external, also I've set it up in such a way that when I release new Vista Point packs I will not need to edit program's code.

Shown in the screenshot, the main visible change since last revision is setting the Vista Point XY to be displayed only (read only) rather than editable text boxes. You can however do whatever you like after switching mode via the configuration app. Other changes include minor text alignment corrections.

One more thing not shown here is the addition of a first time language select screen so that users will not have to run the configuration app before hand.
