I'd rather if you implement the search field into the main window. It's such a small program - there is no need for many windows and dialogs in it. Other than this, good luck, it looks all right so far

If you want to code a new one, then make it perfect, since the current TblPad really has pretty much everything one ever needs.

For example, instead of having a search dialog like on that screenshot, why not have it pop up a little statusbar with a search function, like firefox has? *later realizes that this is pretty much what BK already said*

Also, make sure to make an option to change the colours into their War2 equivalents, since the *.tbl format is the same...

Well... Apart from this, make sure every reasonable thing the user might want to do is possible.... Oh, and make it open source <3

Alright ill integrate the search field into it



Thats y im leaving suggestions open to it just incase anyoen has a unique idea to make it even better



I dont use firefox im not exactially sure what you mean but im just gonna do what BK said since I understand it better



I dont know the WC2 colours since I dont play it but if you or someone else would like to post them for me id be greatful



Again thats y im letting users suggest things for this program and it already has most of the things the other TBLPad has done on it already

Im a fan of open source so it will be dont worry

FILE ASSOSIATION!!!!!!!!

Please explain more on what you mean by it but id be happy to add it

As in you can double click on a TBL file and it will open in the program. All you have to do is check the command line arguments, and one of them will be the file to open. (Depends on the language what they are, in C/C++ it would be the second one.)

o I know what you mean now... Ill add that to the list of stuff to add

Its the color list from sen but I will fix it to just say "Defult"

ADDITION:
Update: Ok Farty fixed what you wanted

New name for the program will be: TBLEdit (unless someone has a better suggestion)

Finalized the layout for it and am working on coding still for it

Some of the basic functions are already done with it so it should be finished in a little bit

Estimated Percent as of now:
[progress]51[/progress]

Think there is already an unofficial editor (as in not very popular iirc) with that name... a confirmation is needed but try calling it "TBLTool" or "TBL Writer" or smth like that.

If you or anyone else can prove it ill change the name otherwise it stays

could be that I'm wrong... it isn't an editor that can easily be found so it might have been smth that was started and never finished

even if something else is called that I say call it that anyway it just sounds better!!

wth I search for 1 week and didn't find it... now I found it in 2 secs lol... I hate irony.

It's an editor for Diablo 2, but I think you shouldn't take advantage of that since people might confuse them...

alright I guess you win now I need to think of a new name for it

Stringwriter? TBLED? idk

or one of the 2 lame names I suggested

the name isn't that important if the tool is good

TBLTennis

I guess ill just go with TBLTools I like it the best

actually TBLTool is my fav too (wanted to write a TBL editor some time ago and had that name for it ).

but you are welcome to use it

Ill put you in special thanks for the name

Didn't see anything about this written anywhere, will it have color changes in RT (real-time) ?

Maybe or it will just show the hex codes instead since I took out the previewer

Example: <01>Bob<02>Ricky

Could be: BobRicky

I dont know what im gonna do yet

ADDITION:
Ive ran into a little bit of a problem with loading the .tbl's if anyone can help the topic is here: http://www.staredit.net/index.php?showtopic=37132

On a good note the search tool is pretty much done

Actually, that isn't quite possible... this IS just the tbl file editor, it's not a unit editor, not a grp editor and not a mempatcher. It's just a text editor...

stat_txt.tbl is basically a database of strings all thrown there. That means you'll have "Irradiate" written about 2 or 3 times, plus the "research irradiate" and "irradiate requires blah blah". Another problem is because every mod can have its own stat_txt.tbl file, this again, poses a problem as to finding the unit name or the editor string or whatever...
