[Discussion] MES Features

[Glitchy]

Info
I'm currently running out of ideas for stuff for my MES and I'm looking for more ideas. Im looking for ideas of Apps that would remove task that would normal take a while.

Guidelines
I'm looking for ideas that deal with the files that i already support. As the files i support i have writing classes for and have a large knowledge in. Also I'm never going to add support for some files as some other Apps out there do things i would never be able to do.
Supported file: m2,wmo,dbc,mpq,wdb
Never Adding: adt

My Ideas
Some ideas i have been tossing around but am not sure of are the following

1. WMO tool to move objects in wmos
2. Partical adder/editor

Stuff that is not Ideas
Fixing Race/Race - race to Race is not "Broke" it is simple not "Perfect"

Wrap up
Give me ideas and maybe they will be implemeted into my MES to help further WOW model editing!

object mover? not just wmos but like m2s and stuff.

or tileset changer for area changing so u can just choose to swap one zones tilesets with another.

Dunnow if this is possible, but maybe a accurate search option? For example, if I typ in "Pyro" , all things that include the word Pyro will show up. Like, pyroblast.m2 , pyroshock.m2, pyroblaster.m2 etc.

Or a search option with a filter option, so e.g you want to search a gnome sound, but you don't know what the name exactly is, so you just click on the sound filter option so that it will only search for sound, and then you typ in "gnome" and will see a list of all sound that include the word "gnome" , for example, gnomelaugh001.wav , gnomesmirk001.wav, gnomecry001.wav , etc. Something like the first one above, but then with a filter option.

Don't know if there is already a option that let you import .MPQs into MES, but that way if you want to search in a specific MPQ you upload the MPQ and then use the search option to search within the MPQ.

I don't know if this is possible, but these are the ideas I currently have.

That would be a pretty easy feature to make.

Could you make it so that you could add m2's and wmos to an adt?

You mean like tallis can?
I wont mess with ADT's becuase there is already noggit and tallis =)

[Ravenheart]

And what about sound / music swapping?

[Clovian]

or umm zone name changer? so u click zone name and then type in the name u want to change it to.

Agree.. great idea

Particles would be great xD ...but its pretty hard i guess since there are lots of animation blocks and stuff.

Spell Searcher (like the model searcher)
Minimap hashed files to a readable name (I have a source lying around for this)
Baked NPC textures hashed files to a readable name (i have information about how to do this, just never programed it)
DBC editor with the ability to add rows.
ADT to MS3D and MS3D to ADT (or OBJ)
WMO to MS3D and MS3D to WMO (or OBJ)
Add a GUI to cryects tools.

That model wrapper you use in one of ur guides, added into your MES if possible.
Removes alot of the middlesteps if u can just extract, paint, inject and be done with it, instead of extract, convert, wrap, convert, inject. IMHO. :>

And you could add your ADT info reader, that shows the coords ur standing at, both ADT and player coords. Would be awesome.

Well atleast something to give a huch, you see Im working on a burning zone project and adding fire where ever I want to would be pretty great (Yea I know you can do it with Taliis? Ore not, cause I can't seem to know the X Y Z coords to add them..) Maybe you could make like a tool that would read those and give you a display (View Map like in MapEditor) and then you can place it where ever you want

Yes great idea! (If getting this, the Halo Sword can finaly get the lightning charge between the spines! Like in real Halo )

Pretty nice ideas Merfed! But aint there a WMO-2-3DS script ore something..? YEA GUI to Cryects Tools would be very nice!
