Description:
Hello friends from Neighborhood 99 and elsewhere! This is just a brief overview page to let you all know of my latest project, which is actually a series of projects really.
Basically, it starts off as a program to help you identify, and preview, any type of content. From there, you will be able to open a different program to edit that piece of content. The idea behind this is that you can still have one big, main program, (think of SimPE) only with it being COMPLETELY optional.
The other nice thing is that all the small, standalone programs, since they are only loosely tied to the main program, are completely optional as well. There's no requirement for any of them to be present for the main program to work, and vice versa.
This way, people can pick and choose the programs they want to use for whatever. On top of all THAT, it'll all be built on a freely usable, open source code base that any other person in the community can use to make programs of their own!
So, now that I've explained the premise, here's where I want input from you! Here's the ideas for the programs I want to make so far. Obviously I don't have names for all of these programs yet, and I won't be the only one working on all of this stuff. There are about 6 other people working with me to make all this happen. :)
List of Prospective Programs
Editors:
WTF Editor - Same as my current program, only improved to be much faster and such. Yay.
Object Editor - Let's you change the name, catalog sort, price, and many other properties of any object. The Pets Custom Content Updater will probably be rolled into this.
Skin Editor - Let's you edit and change many many aspects of custom skins, including category, age, shoe sound, and other stuff.
Sim Editor - Edit your Sims!
Creation Tools:
Recolor Creator - Lets you easily make recolors.
Object Cloner - Lets you easily clone objects in order to make things like new meshes, hacked objects, etc.
Hacking Tool - Fully fledged hacking tool. YAY!
Collection Creator - Collection creator that I've already made, just improved and stuff.
Career Creator - Tool to easily make careers. Yay!
Misc Tools:
Music Extractor - Extract the music from your game!
These are the only tools I can think of ATM. This is why I want input from you all. I need to know if there's anything I'm missing, or anything else you want to know or any other concerns you have about how this is going to work. The creation tools are going to take the longest to make. All the others should be pretty easy to do.
Anyhow, comments are turned off for this article (since they show up on my front page otherwise) so please email me or talk to me in chat to give feedback.
Thanks! :D
