Contemplating a graphical Templatizer...
I was thinking of rewriting the templatizer *yet again*, this time to give it a graphical user interface. Anyone think this would be a good idea, or would I just be wasting my time?
Basically the way this GUI would work is like the Art of Illusion texture editor. You'd have a bunch of "blocks" each representing some elementary function or variable, and by plugging the blocks into each other you could create complex equations, with the added ability to save a set of blocks as a new block for future use. Of course, I'd hope to still support typing in equations (don't want to have to add 3 separate blocks just for 3 + TechLevel!  ), but I'm hoping making the program more "visual" will increase its usability... do you agree, disagree, not really care, whatever?

Re: Contemplating a graphical Templatizer...
Eh, shouldn't be hard to modify for SE5, if I ever get it done
Besides, a templatizer for SE5 would be of slightly less use, as in SE5 you're supposed to be able to type in formulas directly into the data fields...

Re: Contemplating a graphical Templatizer...
Well, maybe I won't do a graphical templatizer... but I could always redo it so it just uses XML transforms to create the SE4 data files - I'm taking a course in XML right now, so this would be a good application
Anyway, does this file I've attached look readable/writable to anyone? It's not quite the same as the SE4 data files, but it uses the same fields, and once I write the XSLT (the hard part ) it should be translatable into SE4 data just by viewing it in your browser!

Re: Contemplating a graphical Templatizer...
I have rewritten the templatizer (yet again  ) - this time in Python!

And this time I won't make the mistake of not uploading it here just in case my computer fails
