SharpWoW - An editor for WoW

[Cromon]

Good news everyone

After a long struggle on YiasDX with unstable and improper code i decided two weeks ago that i will start all over again with a clean and well organized base of code which will allow a better and more flexible way of extensibility in the future. And besides that the new product aims to provide you an All-In-One solution for all your needs. You no longer need to use a dozen of programs to change all that you wanna change like DBC files, terrain files or light parameters you do that all in the same application with editors specialized for that specific task.

During the last two weekends a lot of code already evolved (around 3500 lines) and the most basic features are now implemented. Of course a lot of things that are implemented are though still WIP and not finished (like captions in windows, placements of menus, ...). With this post id like to give you a first preview of the features and the possibility to intervene if you think something is going in a wrong direction (or of course confirmation if its what you absolutely wanna have ).

Well, talked enough, here is a playlist where all the videos concerning SharpWoW will end up:

noggit uncomfortable to HQ texturing Therefore, some are looking for alternative WE

Oh what I'd give for WowEdit and their texturing tool... *Dreams to infinity*

Oh well, back on topic. SharpWoW looks epic indeed, as I've already said. Keep up the good work ^^

Thanks

[Keta]

I envy people who can take an incredibly complicated request, and just go "Good idea, Ill make that". Like its something you do every day u_u
xD

Thanks

It's looking really promising Cromon! (And welcome to modcraft btw!)

I'm really, really looking forward to this as it's shown quite some interesting features already .

And just a small request, seeing we're doing those anyway. It's not anything special and it shouldn't have any high priority but it would be a nice extra.

Could you make it possible to, let's say, if we have an object (either WMO or M2) selected to easily swap the textures on the object and save it as a seperate object (So it doesn't overwrite every of the same model in the entire world). Sometimes it's nice to just have another color roof for buildings for example, but to do that we first have to open up the model in a hex editor, change the treepath of the texture and then rename the model (and possible a lot of the sub WMO things if you have a large WMO) before we can use it without changing it everywhere.

It's not really related to terrain editing, but I'd say it is sometimes quite handy for worldbuilding in general.

[Keta]

I agree with TheBug. Though I'd probably recommend putting this on the ToDo list for plugins, so it can be added as a plugin later, if possible ofc. Would be awesome.

Thanks
Keta
