1) Change the tile layer binary format ".lyr" and particle effects ".eff" to a text format, XML possibly. The advantages:
a) easily edited
b) avoid (or minimize) portability issues between version changes

@Pedro - Excellent starting suggestion. I think human readable formats are the way to go.
@Simon - Scale and fade over time can be accomplished in script, as shown in the behavior playground demo. Are you looking for more than that?

After posting this thread I actually found that there is already a "sticky" thread What would you like to see addressed in Torque 2D?
It's from 2009, but it's still being updated;
If you think this one here still has merit to post these requests, maybe then you could make it a "sticky" thread? Otherwise after a couple days it will be posted into oblivion :) If the other one that's the place to go that's fine too.

It's actually the iTorque version I am working with, but a fadeTo and a scaleTo function could be implemented the same for both iTorque and TGB I guess.

@Michael - Yes I have both scaleTo and fadeTo working through scripts, but I use them on over 100 objects at the same time and the performance is affected a bit. So if the functions were to be added to the source code it should be a bit more optimized, right?It's actually the iTorque version I am working with, but a fadeTo and a scaleTo function could be implemented the same for both iTorque and TGB I guess.
