Space Empires V Editor 1.0 Released |
I've been working on an editor for the data files in SEV and I have an initial version ready for release. Currently, it only allows editing of facilities, but more is on the way. Currently working on the component editor.
Anyway, feel free to check it out. I would appreciate feedback, good or bad, so that I can improve the program.
Hopefully, yes
Making a mod for SEV is the reason I created the editor. Once I get it done, I'll hopefulyl be doing a mod. I'm thinking of porting much of devnullmod over to SEV, but we'll see.

I get a .NET exception
I get a .NET exception window when entering facilities window. Window still shows, but not all facilities do.
Exception message comes from localized .NET so it's in Polish, still, it might be of some help:

My guess is that it might be related to Windows decimal separator settings or something in that department.
.Net Version?
What version of .Net are you using?

You're correct, it's a
You're correct, it's a problem with the decimal separator. Or rather, that I tried to be all fancy and pay attention to regional seetings (not thinking about the fact that the input files will always be in American/English 
).
I'll have that problem fixed in the next release.

Great little program.
Will the editor work on SEV v1.17? by the way, good job on making this. It's work like this that spurs the mod community on to make great things!
The data file formats didn't
The data file formats didn't change between 1.13 and 1.17, so far as I know. If there are problems with 1.17, though, feel free to post specifics.

Cool. Thanks for the
Cool. Thanks for the editor. This will make trying to track all of the files a bit easier, I imagine.
Any Plans to add other
Any Plans to add other features? For instance a quadrant/system type editor, or a real map editor?
Don't count on it
The problem with that was discussed in the chat. The problem is that after the map is created, it is encrypted so that players can't open up and view the map outside of the game. If MM could create a public/private key pair, then you could probably develop a map editor that only the game could open, but until then, meh don't count on it.

Progress isn't made by early risers. It's made by lazy men trying to find easier ways to do something.
