Alternate Image Viewer - Current Version 0.5_D

Verdite;

I had actually been following your posts, but it seems that you have discontinued your original project. If you are making a much better one though, huzzah!

- ‎  ‎  I was continuing the original project still. I just found I'd ran out of stuff I liked to do with it. So I've decided to start this, which should be much better.

What files will it be able to open, and will it be more centric around game assets, or 3D program files (.blend, .mqo, etc)

- ‎  ‎  I'm not 100% sure, it's going to open these for sure though.
- ‎  ‎  ‎  ‎  - .TMD
- ‎  ‎  ‎  ‎  - .PMD
- ‎  ‎  ‎  ‎  - .MD2
- ‎  ‎  ‎  ‎  - .MD3
- ‎  ‎  ‎  ‎  - .OBJ
- ‎  ‎  ‎  ‎  - .MQO
- ‎  ‎  ‎  ‎  - .X
- ‎  ‎  ‎  ‎  - .MS3D
- ‎  ‎  ‎  ‎  - .U3D

I'm also curious as to what prompted this, will you be spreading the programs funtionality out across multiple platforms?

- ‎  ‎  Well, I just feel like there's no one creating a tool like Photoshop or 3DSMax for game hacking. I figured it'd be something very good to have.

An animated TMD maker. Or even a non-animated OBJ to TMD converter so that people can use their favorite modeler.

- ‎  ‎  If I can find a reference for Animated TMDs, I'd do it. But from what I found, TMDs don't hold animations, TOD files hold that data. And I'll be supporting that. :)

A generic file inserter/extractor (ie insert file A into file B at given location) which saves/loads a list of file locations for the current project so you don't have to re-enter the insert/extract location every time.

- ‎  ‎  How about archive profiles? It would work by letting you create a loader for the header of a file which is an archive. I'd also include a basic inserter/extractor.

A PS2 raw image de-swizzler and viewer.

- ‎  ‎  Not sure what that is exactly. If you explain more? Haven't worked much with PS2 formats yet.

A raw image <=> BMP converter that also inserts/extracts and has support for palette location input. ‎ 

- ‎  ‎  Again, explain. Does it let you choose separate data to turn into a BMP? like separate palette and image data files?

For translating, I think a feature that auto-generates a file to insert translated text and edits pointers to match would be helpful. I would probably be impossible to make a tool that supports every game's text, but just supporting SJIS format games could be quite useful. ‎ 

- ‎  ‎  I can agree with that, but it would be nice to have more information. Since you've done a lot of translating games, It'd be nice to get given some design ideas when I create the translating tools.


Anything else? :D
