Well, here it goes. Like I said. This is a barebones, hardly working version of the program. This thing does require .net Framework v 2.0 or later to run.
What you can do with this version:
- open an existing *.str text file (all language files use that extention modified only by the actual name of the language it is for)
- save a loaded file to disk
- edit the IDS and its associated values as plain text (only error checking so far is duplicate IDs)
- add new strings
- delete the current string
- a very limited search function by begining of the ID
You can create a file from scratch if you wanted, save it and the IDs in it would work. This program sets the framework for whatever editor we get from the devs or the community creates to be able to integrate an entity file's strings. EX: You're editing a ship. In the NameStringID (or whatever it is) entry, there would be the name of the string and a button that would bring up a standalone editor for that ID. So here it is. Try it out, give some suggestions, post error reports. This is for the community.
