Hey fellaz,

Am working on a new tool for gens and ZH, it is a tool for editing ini files, just started the app so it is nothing more then a basic setup.
If you have ideas for stuff that would be usefull in this app then let me know and i will implement it if it is possible and if im am able to, still am and will always be a noob...:P

You can drag and drop an .ini file on the textpanel in the middle and the file will be loaded.
All object, particlesystems, weaponFX etc will be displayed as a root on the left panel, the list is in alphabetical order, you can select an item and it will be selected on the textpanel also, you dont have to scroll and you dont have to use ctrl-f.
You can pick 4 words atm and make your own color code for those words, you can set the background color and you can set the color of the font separately.

Here is an image of the current state.

Im open for ideas so dont be afraid to ventilate them...

-Auto Color-coded text. ~Zatsupachi

Wow , very great.
I think it's a silly idea, if you make a shortcut key to start the game from this app and if you add a status bar.
sorry if those can't help but I'm super noob ^^

I have a suggestion if we have code checker or some sort I mean in case the typo or exceed function like END END that caused the game to crash. This will help players see if they copy paste correctly?

Not sure but I am tend to having problem with adding extra END.

If you get more experienced in modding those errors will disappear because you've got more knowledge...
I can try to make somekind of codechecker but making a mod program so you dont have to code at all is not on my list atm, i started an app a while ago which does this but i never finished it, with this app you can create your own boss general and all the code is written by the programm so you dont have to do that, you can create new commandsets and the program will make the code(this part is not finished yet), you can change the unit cost, buildtime etc and create new prerequisites, you can create a new special power tree, all the code is put into the right place by the program, far from finished though...

Here is a pic of the program, i called it Zero Hour Mod Creator...

Can I ask if you can make the commandset instead of 14 to 20? I would be really grateful right now I can't do without firestorm mod but I don't like some features that firestorm mod gave me.

The magic happens in the .wnd files, study those files...
If im not mistaking the commandbuttons are implemented in ControlBar.wnd...
Take a big piece of paper and start to draw out all the button the positions from the .wnd file, it helps you to understand the mechanics
