MEh, I'd rathyer do trial and error, because it's fun to fix what you screw up, and half the time it becomes a design feature.

C++ with Dev-C++ :).

The goal of this program is to make modding as painless as possible for Cortex Command.

I have reconsidered and now am i going to work with the Win32 Api. :) (wxWidgets is such a pain to setup for Bloodshed Dev-C++ :-( )

I have Qt3, albeit I never actually do anything because I rabidly hate the .NET crap that I have installed. It's pretty much a GUI toolkit for C++. I think it would work pretty well, it's got any widget you could need.

The basic layout of this program is going to be a Treeview to the left and Modification and Creation info to the right :).

I have allways wondered what .NET have been good for, it is just taking up valuable space and creating a worthless user in Windows XP.

UPDATE

I have now implemented the basic layout but not yet made the Device, Actor, etc item modifying layouts. :)

BUMP

This is not dead :P. I am working on it.

Right now so am i implementing the Treeview wich is the hard part :). I will make the parsing later wich is less time consuming than making a program without a book to look in when you get stuck :P.

A new Pix! (Nothing much have changed except that i figured out how to make a tree :P.

Keep your praises until you can actually download a Alpha version :).

Any more suggestions to this program instead of just Sprite Offset?
(btw, i have got wxWidgets to work so it will shorten developement time rapidly.

Hmm... How about making it a paint program too, so you can edit sprites in there to suite your needs, and you can compile them together to show you what your finished crap will look like, be useful as hell ofr actors.

Offset tool has been made, but long forgotten about. I forget who made it, the name ScottC keeps coming up, so I think it was him. Uploading it.

Top-Left, a sprite offset from the Top-Left to the Center has both negative X and Y coordinates.
