Modding Tools--Component Creator

[Daynarr]

Nice work Gimboid.
I am one of those guys that could use good editing tools for data files, so I greatly appreciate your efforts.

As for improvements, the only two things that come to mind right now is that there could be:
a) Preview picture of component
b) Play sound option for components

Newest program revision for my component modding program.

Fixes

- Updating selection from component list, so that after editing a component that component is still the component selected from the component list.

- Component self destruct device was not being read in correctly due to truncation of read in data. No longer a problem.

New features

- Ability to change the order of components in the list by moving components up or down by 1 or 10 places.

Picture preview was already on my list of things todo, and sound, thats a good one to have as well.

I will probably change it so that u select the file from a standard windows popup (like the open file screen u get when u load a file for Word, etc) and have it update the edit box to display the filename u selected. And then have it playable by pressing a button

Does anyone know where the standard icon that they have on play sound buttons (the speaker pic) can be found???

Wow, I'm impressed. That response was quick. Thanks for making a great modding tool.

After playing around with the new movement buttons it seems that a "move to bottom" button would be helpful. Also the ability to highlight and move Groups of components.

!!bug... If a component is moved below the Last entry it loops back up to the top and appears as a blank entry deleting the first one.

Ive now added move to top and move to bottom buttons to the movement panel.

The bug u mentioned has also been fixed, one of those off by one errors in my error checking code

I can see why you might want to have it so that you could highlight Groups of components and move them as a whole, i will have to look into it as i havent used multiple selection lists before. But if its not that different then i'll be able to put it in.

Does the program only work for 95/98 machines? I'm having trouble on a NT 4.0 machine. I'll try it on 98se when I get home, sounds great though!!!
