Modding Tools

I could use some graphical system editor which would make the planet placements easier. nothing fancy. Just something that shows the coordinates in the cursor's locations. I realize this can be done with any image processing program but still somekind of system editor would be nice. I guess it could use the same program hull as the slotmodder.

Okay. Here's the deal, folks.

I can create graphical tools for creating mods and campaigns.

The problem is for the next month or so, my off-work time is going to be at a premium and hard to predict.

Hosting the tool(s) will be another issue entirely.

Hosting can be arranged fairly easily..

I will say this now

If anyone has ANYTHING related to game modding that they need hosting, and its not too big (ie. nothing over the top)

Then just email it to me at
chrisnewton.at.lfhost.com
and state you want said file hosted on PXS
Also, feel free to add me on MSN damonsteel.at.msn.com

Failing that, Im sure Fyron or SJ would be happy to host it

And not to forget, I work for a webhosting company

(though our restrictions will prevent you hosting programs, you could still host sites there while hosting the program else-where)

And moose, lets limit the blood shed with the programs (*refers to your signature

I'd... consider wearing body armor during the installation if I were you.

... just in case.

... oh, no reason...

LOL

So, when can we expect the first program?

When it's done, I'm afraid. I wasn't kidding about the tight schedule for the next month.

I'll probably start with components, then ships, then slots. (I'm not looking to duplicate work or anything, but these things do tend to tie in together.) After, I'll do systems, planets, then stores. Campaign specific data will come afterwards. After that, well, we'll see.
