All in one editor

While I'm not against this idea, wouldn't it be easier to join an existing effort rather than having 500 tools being developed by 500 different devs? Create an elite task force of tool developers and take over the tool world!

However, that would involve everyone knowing the same languages. And so far it seams that out of the 100 devs working on these 5 projects their are 200 different programming languages. I know vb.net if anyone who knows vb.net has an interest in helping me or someone who knows java wants to help the guy doing spell editor in java, or anyone else then i am sure none would complain.

I listed my original needs for help decoding the spells files and apparently all the things involved in this project are going to require some deciphering i have spent all day trying to find a way to sort the items db by type however their are 56 types and if i search for item type X i get a list that spans all item types, maybe it is just me but when this was originally done item type 0 should have been one type and 1 another and so on maybe i am just missing the connection so far and when i find it that will be a good day.

Programming is 10% coding and 90% figuring how the last guy did it.

I think a 1 stop shop utility would be great.

I started something like this using PHP, mainly to make it easier to maintain servers (especially my own). I haven't done much with it recently, but eventually wanted to turn it into a do everything utility, although that can be somewhat difficult for just 1 person Part of it will eventually incorporate a spell editor, which should make it easier to modify & distribute spell_us.txt spells on the fly.

I called the compilation "custom" and just recently got it onto Sourceforge.

yes it is allot of work, i am trying save some time by salvaging and upgrading different things from this site http://66.159.225.58/eqemu/eq.html however that is proving to be very difficult because i do not have a copy of vb6 and i believe their are control arrays in some of the code that prevent me from upgrading to vb.net 2k8 not to mention other things that 2k8 does not like.
