[crossfire] Map logical linking

[Nicolas Weeger]

Hello.

One issue I have with maps is that sometimes you have no clue what quest or 
thing they are linked to.

Example: I was browsing (in the editor) maps in Navar, and discovered some 
quest spawning various maps, with keys in one or the other, but no idea where 
to find other maps.

So I'd like to be able to easily find what maps are linked together for a 
quest.

For this, I suggest to use the "lore" field in the maps, which is totally 
unused (it's loaded with other headers, but never displayed).

Proposal for logically linking maps:
* in one of the maps, probably the one with quest starting point or quest end, 
describe the quest in the lore field, and include what maps are linked to the 
quest, maybe more information like player level or reward? Minimum is the 
linked maps
* in each quest map, add in the lore a reference to the quest and the map with 
all the information


Since I'm (after all!) a developer, I could suggest to create an easy format 
for this lore field to be able to automatically extract information and make 
nice spoiler pages. But well, maybe not that necessarily to go that far :)


Opinions? Suggestions?

Nicolas
