Re: MOD.MAKING.PROGRAM
 

I've been writing a mod maker in C# .NET. Mostly it's been a learning exercise -- how to play w/ .NET, how to manage tabs, how communicate b/w different "controls." I hope to post the basic Version some time soon.

A lot of my time has gone into understanding the .NET GUI. If you write a simple text based MAD-LIB modder, it would take less time, be within modest JAVA capabilities, and be fairly portable.

Another thing that would sure be nifty is if the good developers would teach us how to access all the data from the game itself. Not only would this save an enormous amount of work, but when things changed in future patches the modding software would automatically change with it.
