Hi,

This is a mod editor for Sins Of A Solar Empire Rebellion 1.83

Only one project at a time (duplicate the Editor directory to support more projects)
All the basic stuff is in there
Read the readme file included for a disclaimer
Uses Filemaker and BaseElements Plugin, as well as my own plugin for mesh support
Filemaker 14 is required for the fully Open Solution,
Scriptmaster plugin is required (included in the Runtime Version)
Read the readme for the rest

Only useful for creating completely new mods (total conversions)

or as tool for resizing meshes in a consistent way

BIG THANKS to ZombiesRus5 for the amazing ModdingSyntaxWiki

Fully Open Version (FileMaker 14 Database)

https://mega.nz/#!9IISVRQR!a71XWFTkqkVWwijz6FNecxyZaSy8YXOjqxwjiiajRT4

Runtime Version

https://mega.nz/#!ME40ES4S!LuFaPYycVrkGakJ5Vo7TGae7FdZWWQJZgjf0450X_0M

As of now this version is completely open, admin password and all. No documentation, as I've got no time for that, sorry. Not sure anybody would still be interested, but still. No support can be given. If you do want to tinker, best get FileMaker and have a look at it.

Thanks

I'm checking it out now--thanks for the share.

Ok, I haven't done anything but look at it for a minute but...

HOLY COW!

This is seriously a step in the right direction and I hope you will continue work on it. Millions of exhausted brain cells thank you for your effort.

Now I will go play with it and see if I can use it.

A help file would be really nice but it makes sense. You should invoke the powers of Zombie and Harpo to aid you...if you summon them, they will come.

Thanks,

Helpfiles and many other things should be added, but I con only do so much and many people await the next SOTYR release so that must come first. However I started to add the planetmodules today and may be finished within a week.

As for using it in it's current state, I must warn you that I have not yet given an easy way to update the database from one Version to the next, which I think is crucial for the usefulness of this Editor. One could export and import everything by hand, but that is very tedious.

As for Harpo and Zombie, I will use their sources where required but that might still be some way off. I will post updates here though. So keep checking time and again!

The most "user friendly" app of this depth I have seen made here. Please continue. I can wait.

The lamp is our search for truth, for understanding. Too often we assume the light on the wall is God, but the light is not the goal of the search, it is the result of the search.

Planetmodules are almost finished, just need cost functions as well as export functionality. Will post an update once they are ready

Yippee! the Force is strong in this one...or wrong. I always get those confused.

Looking at it now--completely cool. Excellent job sir.

Rodney "HotRod" Jenkings has found some bugs in it which I will squash asap. Starbases support should also be done within a week. Then development will take a backseat to development of the SOTYR mod.

Very cool. Forget the mod--serve my needs!

I will post an update here once B5 SOTYR 0.42 is out of the door. Many a small bug was found and fixed. Many more might still persist

Posted Version 0.96, still missing abilities, planets and lots of other files, but the basic export is now completely 1.34 compatible and tested (used for SOTYR 0.42x). Entity manifest export and string export are just exporting the parts that are created in the Editor and need to be expanded with the vanilla(diplomacy) files.

I won't hassle you you are providing a free service with both an excellent mod and this excellent program--and the Book of G'Quan forbids it.

That said, "Hurry up and get those additional features in!"...and Happy New year.

I go to peruse it now sir.

That said, "Hurry up and get those additional features in!"...and Happy New year.

Happy new year as well. It's not that I would not want to add them, it's a very time consuming task and takes a backseat when compared to the SOTYR mod. Then there are my workshifts which are 10 to 12+ hours a day atm and weekend work (even this weekend) so my time is limited. I also need to take care of my relationship and friends so it will take a while for new features to show up. Sorry

But I will at least add the abilities if I can find a way to visualise them.

Cheers
Tobias

Looks nice, is it used to simply organize or to build? I'll have to spend some time playing with it. I have a long string of visitors this summer which will suck up most of my available bandwidth...

It is used to build things from scratch, no import available. It does all the assigning for you and provides easy ways to type Strings and create all entity files from scratch
