When using a * in place of an actual ID value, SDX is looking for next highest number

[SphereII]

SDX is looking for the highest free block id. Since the blocks file has a lot of holes in their ID, it'd be expected that SDX can fill in the missing IDs, rather than going to next highest.

In PostProcessConfigs(XmlDataProvider gameDataProvider) Method:

XmlNodeList xmlNodeList2 = gameDataProvider.GetData("blocks").QueryNodes("/blocks/block/@id");
Logging.LogInfo("Blocks to process: " + xmlNodeList2.Count);
for (int j = 0; j < xmlNodeList2.Count; j++)
{
    XmlAttribute xmlAttribute2 = xmlNodeList2[j] as XmlAttribute;
    if (xmlAttribute2 != null)
    {
        string innerText2 = xmlAttribute2.InnerText;
        bool flag3 = false;
        int num4 = 0;
        if (!int.TryParse(innerText2, out num4))
        {
            flag3 = true;
        }
        if (flag3)
        {
            Logging.LogInfo("Assign id: " + num2);
            **num2 = this.GetNextHighestID(gameDataProvider, num2);**
            xmlAttribute2.InnerText = num2.ToString();
        }
    }
}
Logging.LogInfo("PostProcess highest BlockID: " + num2);

With node method:

public int GetNextHighestID(XmlDataProvider gameDataProvider, int intLastHighest)
{
    for (int x = intLastHighest; x < 2049; x++)
    {
        if (gameDataProvider.GetData("blocks").QueryNode("blocks/block[@id='" + x.ToString() + "']") == null)
        {
            Logging.Log("Found free block: " + x.ToString());
            return x;
        }
    }
    Logging.LogError("Exceeded Block Limit for available numbers");
    return -1;
}

It works in previous versions. WinterWonderland.txt

Tested and worked as intended.
