Blueprint Editor

[Ze_PilOt]

I've made a little tool to ease my work editing blueprints.

It's very simple and unappealing, but it's a huge time saver when editing these kind of files.
It parse any "units" directory for all blueprints, make some filtering categories (on top), then you can edit the values in a simple editor.

As it can be useful for any coder, I will release it on open source as soon as I'm done polishing the corners.

It looks very interesting and handy! Is it generic enough to be able to support additional factions (for instance Nomads), or is it too much work to add this kind of support?

[Ze_PilOt]

It can support any faction, but the faction filter won't work. But it's easy to add.

Wonderful!

Thumbs up ! I'm eagerly waiting for the release.

* TEST IT AT YOUR OWN RISK *

By default, autosave is on : Each change is immediately saved in the bp file.
Use a versionning system (mercurial, svn,...) to avoid any risk !

windows binaries :

Here is a screenshot demonstrating all the filter options :

You can report any bug here, or better, here :
https://bitbucket.org/thepilot/forged-a ... tatus=open

KNOWN BUGS :
After editing a BP, if you change the filtering options, the value is reverted. This is only a GUI bug : Your file will be correctly updated.


LUA parser is done by Raging_Squirrel.

[Ze_PilOt]

New version online (binaries updated).

- Fixed an issue where blueprint were not correctly updated in the interface after a modification
- New math operators available :
Ie. If you type :
*10
/10
+10
-10
in a field having a number, it will do the math operation on that number.

This doesn't seem to work for me; I successfully point it to my units directory, and I see a window with a progress bar showing the units being processed, but then nothing ever appears in the windows. When I close the program, I get a warning that an error occured; here's the logfile:
