OENS (pronounced like the Welsh name Owens), the Odyssey Engine Netbeans Solution is/was something I've been working on. There are already a lot of great tools other authors have put a lot of hard work into - so I thought I would try and create something that has the full 'rich-client' experience that would run multi-platform, and the best way I could think to do that was to create a plugin for an existing IDE. OENS is a plugin for Netbeans 8.2 w/ Java8 designed for editing Odyssey Engine files. Sadly, it may not go much further - I'd hoped my current job would be a lot quieter than previous jobs and I would have a lot more time for my own fun projects, but sadly not Here's where I've got to (not that far): 2DA Editor Open, edit and save binary 2DA files Full Undo/Redo support! Add/remove rows and columns Move rows/columns up,down,left & right Auto-resize column width for content Rename row and column headers To Do Text 2DA support Maybe add a descriptive box at the bottom for known 2DA columns à la TlkEdit NWScript Editor Open/edit/save .nss NWScript files Full undo/redo support Basic (not 100% perfect) syntax highlighting based on the deprecated Netbeans language specification (basically regular expressions..) The palette (can) contain code snippets that can be dragged & dropped into the code (working - but I only have #Include at the moment. Suggestions?) To Do Write real lexer and parser Syntax checking Intellisense/code completion Code folding Allow user to specify location of nwnnsscomp and compile scripts or PIPE DREAM implement a Java based compiler At this rate it may be done in oooooh, I dunno, ten years??? 😂

No wonder I found modding so easy to get into. Anyway, yes, can't really make money of the mod, since it's illegal.

Or madness. Exactly! That's one of the core requirements of a good modder. 1.Determination 2.Madness 3.Lack of pride/stubborness to ask for help 4.Stubborness to keep going 5.More madness for when things don't work! Rinse, lather, and repeat. The average day of a modder-A dip in the pool of insanity.

We do it out of love - or madness - but not for money.
