New WC Editing Resource Comes Online
delMar has recently gotten into the exciting WC modification discussions at the CIC Forums where Wingnuts from all over are digging into what makes the first couple Wing Commanders tick. He's decided to help contribute by building a set of web apps to allow modification to Wing Commander 1&2. WCWorkShop.net has been set up as the future home of these tools, but there's already quite a bit of data that's been collected and posted to see. Check it out for yourself here, or visit the CIC Forums to join the conversation!
I finally was able to publish the current state of my editor, which is called WC-Workshop. I'm looking forward to your feedback, both about the application itself and about some newly discovered resource data. Please note, that neither the application nor the data are complete. There's still lots of information on the forum which I have not yet been able to display.System and Wing names are now displayed as they are contained in the MODULE.000 file which I started to integrate today. Also, Nav-Points are already displayed in the tree, but do not yet display detailed information. I just did not find the time today...
The UI will improve over time, right now the data is displayed more or less according to where it belongs technically. I definitely will re-arrange it and not only that, some data won't be even editable in the editor (eg the number of missions per series is stored somewhere, iirc), it will just be calculated upon resource file generation.
Next update will deal with detailed information about nav points. As already mentioned earlier, I have lots more of information already decoded than I can display at the moment.
