Not much new to report, but (hopefully) will have a release out sometime in the first half of April. For the Map Builder, I plan on having the rooms from the Sith Bases (both Taris and Manaan) avaiable for the user to mix and match. However, after that I'm not sure what place to add next. So if you're interested in using the tool to create new areas, I'm more than happy to take suggestions on what models to make useable. In addition to creating a layout for the rooms, the Map Builder tool also automatically fills in doors for the module and creates copies of the textures used in the models. This means you can retexture your unique module and not have it affect the models they were based on. Maps can be exported to both K1 or TSL regardless of what game the rooms your using originated from. Here is a video demonstrating how easy and quickly it is to use: As for the module editor, most of the core functionality is finished. You can create, edit, move around and delete things from any module you chose to open. The editor builds a tree of all resources connected to the module and you can change which version of the resource (eg. pick the resource stored in the override vs the .mod file) which will be reflected in the 3D view. You can also toggle what kind of instances are being rendered to the screen. A quick demonstation can be seen in the video below: Finally, if people are interested in contributing to the project, I would like to include tutorials packaged with the program the the user can browse through (simular interface to the instructions included in Kotor Tool). These tutorials can cover any aspect of modding, from texturing, to scripting, to in-depth module editing. Perferably they would also include screenshots showing how to accomplish the relevant task using to toolset. If anyone is interested in creating these or having existing tutorials that they want to offer, feel free to PM me. Thanks. I feel something like this would greatly benefit people new to modding.
