"I don't have anything to say, may I still stand here?"

I've been working hard to get more work done on AdventureFar, but still not much visible progress. My hard work hasn't converted well to legitimate progress over the past 4 or 5 weeks. I decided to change the map format I was using, to reduce the amount of costly parsing the game needed to do when loading map chunks, because I still haven't quite achieved 100% seamless transitions. It's getting closer and closer, but not quite there yet.

Previously, I was doing alot of text parsing, with almost everything stored in text for convenience, but now I'm pre-parsing alot of it and storing it in binary to just read it into different parts of the struct directly. I'll find out how much time this saves me in a few days, once I track down a few nasty bugs that popped up.
