ODF Generator

posted on February 25th, 2014, 2:06 pm

I'm working on an application that will enable modders to add anywhere from a single unit to Fleet Operations to full factions using the Fleet Operations balance system. All by editing just a few (dozen) XML files.

Planned Features

• XML Files will define everything about the mod including information about the mod, the balance system used by the mod, etc.
• Write a single XML file per ship that includes all of the rank-up data, upgrades/refits, modes, weapons, Borg modules, avatars, etc.
• Automatically generates the necessary ODF files to balance your new unit/faction with the rest of Fleet Operations. One XML file might generate 100 or more ready-to-copy ODF files!
• Edit XML files manually in a tabbed-window or using the XML browser and properties windows.

I got the New Mod dialog to disable certain controls based on whether or not the mod is a standalone mod.

Cool, this will definitely be useful for sure. I know I would use it.
