Atlas entity editor

[Philip Taylor]

There should be an entity editor GUI, that can provide built-in documentation and structure and validation to make sure you produce correct entity XML files.

It should be integrated into Atlas, so it's easy to select a unit and say "edit this one's template" (and also "create a custom template for this specific unit").

Probably the GUI should be a ​property grid - a row for each interface with a drop-down list for the component type, then sub-rows representing the XML tree. Rows that inherit from parents would be marked in some way. It should probably be generated from annotations embedded in the component schemas (#413) to ensure it's up-to-date.

Does this replicate Ticket #94?

Replying to jason:

Does this replicate Ticket #94?

No, in this ticket stated that we need to have editor for entities, when in #94 stated, that we should be able to edit each unit's stats separately too (i. e. create new template for each unit, rather than editing common unit-class template).

Old mockup from Michael via #94 (a property sheet is probably easier to program and more flexible, this is simply to document a different idea):
