StringEditor v1.0 released (for .DAT files)

[Mike.nl]

Well,

 

after having finally finished my String Editor last wednesday, it turned out Evaders99 decided to twiddle bits in PFF's database and make the whole thing come down faster than a brick who thinks it can fly.

(Don't even get me started on how the latest backup is apparently from four months ago. Sigh. Goodbye previous posts, hello re-registration process)

Ah well, as the saying goes... it happens

 

 

Now then, on to the reason you all clicked on the topic link:

As some have 'complained' that the existing DAT Editor is a bit too simple, I've created my own version.

 

StringEditor v1.0 is done, beta-tested (thanks to Fynbos from Ultimate Empire at War) and released.

 

Get it here: http://alpha1.dyndns.info/eaw/

 

Some features:

• Multiple languages (maintain one master file with all languages)
  
• Versioning (trace back what you did from the beginning)
  
• Set operations (Union, Intersection, Difference)
  
• Copy & Paste into and from Excel (and others that follow the same scheme)
  
• Support for the CreditsText files

 

Oh, and I called it StringEditor to distinguish it from the current DATEditor. Can't have people being confused, now can we?

 

As usual, post problems and/or questions here, or mail me at my brand new Gmail account (see the site) for anything personal: declarations of love, threats to my life, breast enlargement treatments, or, much, much more likely, wondering how the @$!$ the command line version works

Just FYI, apparently it is possible to get the following error when you try to start it:

 

"This application has failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem."

 

This originates from the Visual C++ runtime and highly depends on the computer running the program (as neither myself, nor anyone else that has tried it experienced the error).

So if you get this error, don't worry, I'm looking into it.

I think I solved it. So if you got this error, just download the editor again.

The application run smoothly from the first moment you post it here.

What I like most is the ability to copy and paste.It's really a good thing to cross different mods stuff.
