Most Useful SE4 Utility
 

1st, I use the mod picker every time I launch SE4.

2nd, the SE4 Modder is a tool no modder can be without.

3rd, Master Belisarius's SE4BATCH is a must for AI testing.

Personally, I use Wordpad for almost everything.

For large, repetitive jobs, I write a quick VB program, such as my AI Patcher, or pop modifier generator.

Thanks for putting my program number one on your list, but I have to say that the PBW server is by far the most useful SE4 "utility" http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

I couldn't live without wordpad. I never use anything but.

I prefer TextPad - smaller and quicker than the M$ product.

SE Modder and Viewer are my next most useful.

PSP and Lightwave are the next.

Well, I actually haven't uses PBW all that much. In fact I forgot about it. Yes; I think it's an important and useful utility.

I use a simple text editor for detailed stuff, but I find the SE4 modder faster for general use since I can't write my own programs.

How come nobody metioned DoGA?

I think the best utility is the PBW Client application. It's great that I can just start it, see that my turn is due, click on my game, and it starts up. When I submit the turn - boom, it's automatically uploaded.

The tool has a lot of room for improvement, but fills a very important gap in the download-play-upload proces.
