Happy New year with HTC+

This new year start with Huge Terrain Creator + for Atlas. Many people asked me news about HTC. Here are some.

HTC + have a lot of new features, here is a small list :
* Texture database : HTC can handle textures for terrain rendering (a la TGE) with a database of up to 64 textures (instead of 6 in TGE).
* HeightField Preview : While drawing your HexMap, a preview appear in the map window.
* HeightField Import : You can import RAW and BMP files into the map window. This feature allow you to import TGE Terrains.
* Environnement DataBase : You can associate with each HexTile an environment shape list. e.g. grasses, trees, boulders.
* fxEnvReplicator : fxEnvReplicator allow you to store Environnement DataBase placement for a specific terrain. It render objects as your player move. It can Handle up to 16,777,216 Shapes. Shapes must belong to Environnement DataBase.
* Brush Editing : New HTC's interface allow you to place shapes for fxEnvReplicator with different brushes. It allow you to paint many shapes (up to 64) in a single click.
* Texture painting : HTC allow you to paint terrain directly with mouse (a la TGE).
* Simplified fractal parameters : I have made some simplifications in fractal parameters (HeightFields and Texture fractals).
* Environment Generation : HTC can generate placement for shapes in Environment DataBase. This allow you to save precious time when drawing your terrain.

Here are some early screens :

There may be some other things, but nothing comes in my mind.
