The new version has working Graffiti support, also some code fixes. The work on auto-genarated room things is still in progress - only doors are fully supported for now.

This Adikted is a highly modified version of the John Skeets tool. Many functions are added, and Adikted is now compatible with "Official Editor",
so you may create a map in Adikted and conduct minor fixes in Official Editor.

Note that this is still Alpha version - not all of the rooms are supported, and the graffiti function isn't working. Also, things like torches, and room equipment, are not automatically placed.
