		+	== I'm doing something wrong here... ==
		+
		+	I'm trying to get the pointer to the data for the tile that is currently highlighted, like Tile Edit does. Here's what I have, but I must be doing something wrong.
		+	<pre>
		+	UInt32 mapx, mapy, mapz, mapxoffset, mapyoffset, mapzoffset;
		+	mapx = memory.ReadU32(version.GetAddress("mouse_x"));
		+	mapy = memory.ReadU32(version.GetAddress("mouse_y"));
		+	mapz = memory.ReadU32(version.GetAddress("mouse_z"));
		+	mapxoffset = mapx * 4;
		+	mapyoffset = mapy * 4;
		+	mapzoffset = mapz * 4;
		+	UInt32 MouseMapOffset;
		+	MouseMapOffset = memory.ReadU32(memory.ReadU32(memory.ReadU32(version.GetAddress("map_data")+mapxoffset)+mapyoffset)+mapzoffset);
		+	</pre>
		+	I've expanded it to figure out the problem as best I was able, and the first ReadU32 returns a pointer like it should, but the second one returns a value way too low to be correct (0x0013####) and when it reads that it ends up with a pointer way too high (0xD0######).
		+	It's stumped me for the past 6 hours, so I turn to people more experienced than me in hopes of some help :)

		+	== module variables with forms ==
		+
		+	I'm mostly self taught so I most likely have bad habits in coding, so bare with me :)
		+
		+	I'd like to make a little form with options on it and then run code when certain buttons are clicked. I've got the form added to the project and couldn't quite figure out how to get a function from the Module class as an event for a button click without making the button public (in the form class) and adding it manually (in the module class) after I made a new instance of the form in the module run function. I also, wanted to store the memory/version/mode/etc arguments passed to the run function so I could later use them in other functions that would be called from the form according to options selected in that form. I tried to add private storage variables inside the class itself, but I don't know the constructors for the types to make a valid copy (after run finishes the private variables don't work).
		+
		+	Can only one module be used at a time, or is it possible to spawn a module and have it be an "info box" while other modules are free to be "run"? That's kinda what I'm getting at, I'd like to keep the connection to the memory/version/modulemode/etc stuff while the main program is running but not hog up the program.
