Notice anything missing?

I also recommend doing the thorough job. For Ahra Pahts, I had done some surgery to move some objects from one PRP to another. However, I had not removed all the references. Consequently, when anyone tries to use libHSPlasma to unpack the Pahts_District_City.prp file (in order to shrink it down by subsequently packing it again), it encounters errors and abandons the unpacking.
Can we rebuild it? Yes, we can - here's how.

That's an important concern, thanks.

I don't know actually. I am not sure how important that link is, because I don't know how Plasma uses it.

Development of this tool is going well considering the little free time I have for it.
The plDrawableSpans object is being modified correctly (the correct icicles are disabled by changing their length to 0) and written back to the prp.
I still have a few minor bugs and problems with the MSXML parser.

Done!
I will start a new thread about this tool.
It is an ugly thing, and nowhere as sophisticated as real tools like Drizzle and the libHPlasma library, but it gets the job done.
