PlayListEd Information File


Description
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PlayListEd is a mapcycle.txt and Maps.lst playlist file editor for games such as Half-Life and the Quake series.
After selecting a source directory from the File menu, PlayListEd will then load all .bsp files from that location into a source listbox, Useful when your maps collection is large like my own (70+maps). 
PlayListEd will also open an existing mapcycle.txt file (if present) into the playlist listbox, this should help with any maps that may not be kept in a maps folder but within a pak file.
