Spöb resource hex flag calculator

I have begun to prgram a program that adds up the various flags you may use for stellar objects and turn values 10 and above into a,b etc. so it's hexidecimal. Anyway I made a test version that seems to work OK, but I want to add support for about 15 flags to add up. I'm not promising I'll finish it, but does this sound useful to anyone?

You could make it and it would be neat, but I doubt anyone would use it, as Pontus's EVO developers map already does that, where all you have to do is check a few boxes and it saves it into your plug automatically. Maybe you could expand your calculator to calculate the flags used in other resources and make them editable, and if you Really want to go for the gold make a full out editor, that is bugless! People would love you for it.

Nice idea, but it was done years ago. The program is called FlagMaker, and it should be in the archives on this site. It calculates flags for all EV/O resource types, not only spobs.
