I've decided on a "pretty-ok" layout for a GUI-based template creator. It won't be nearly as powerful as the scripted templates that you can create in templates.lua, but it will be a lot easier to use. Hopefully this will be working in the next couple days/next week or so.

The next version will also have the ability to manually edit saved raids, or create new ones from scratch; and will have an option to change settings/create saves/templates/etc while not in a raid.

For the GUI template creator, what I'm thinking is basically this:

Screen 1:
-Enter a name, etc.
-How do you want to handle extras: ("Group together in the lower groups" / "Merge into the raid using the default template")

Screen 2:
"Group 1 Exclusions: Limit Group 1 to at most:"
"Number........Class.....Spec"
[<editBox>][<menu>][<menu>] [+] (clicking + will let you add another exclusion)

Screen 3:
"Group 1 Rules: Try to add members to group 1 in this order:"
"Class........Spec........Require...IgnoreSpec"
[<menu>][<menu>][<checkbox>][<menu>][+]

and so forth...

If you have any thoughts about that let me know, it's nowhere near done yet so there's plenty of time to change it. :P
