Double-click to play a sound file instead of having to push the Play Sound button? :cheesy:

How about a "check for updates" option in the settings?

Just kidding.

Is it getting too hard to find suggestions now? :)
Time to panic because I am sure we will think of something vital just as soon as Turley stops developing it.

The best way to make a check for updates button is to number your builds. Set it to an internal variable then just make a text file on the internet be the number of your very latest build.

Code: Select all

If (text file line > build #)
     Possible killbit for the program if you need it for ANY reason (I did)
     link to latest build
     possible message to be displayed for build
     download latest build if user decides to
endif.

Mmmh so simple why didnt I had the idea?
My current code is

Code: Select all

HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)
                WebRequest.Create("http://forums.polserver.com/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=2351&st=0&sk=t&sd=a");
....
Regex reg = new Regex(@"<a href=""./download/file.php\?id=(?<id>[\d]+)&sid=(?<sid>[\w]+)"">UOViewer (?<major>\d).(?<minor>\d)(?<sub>\w)?.rar</a>",RegexOptions.Compiled);
...
So I am searching for the download link in my first post... :)

Either you add in import/export/save for art and gumps or you stop now!
Your tiledata page just tells us you are more than capable of making this an exceptional utility rather than just an InsideUO replacement.

Now you have added in tiledata editing you've opened a pandora's box of other edit features for the other pages.

If you can do this, then you have to change the name. UOFiddler ??

Sure, the sourcecode is released under the "Beerware license" so dont even think about it as a serious tool :)

I was just kidding about the "check for updates" feature.
*laughs*

OldNGrey is right though, you just HAVE to keep adding editing features to it.

I love the logo Luth.

I have put the new search functions to use in looking up terrain tiles and art tiles. Hopefully I'll get a chance to experiment with the editing features soon.

I was thinking about other editing features and ofcourse map editing came to mind. Now I am not going to ask for that but I thought it might be nice to have a tab that lets us define buttons that launch external applications that we might use in addition to UO Fiddler. For example I use Punts map editor and I could define that in the external app tab. That way UO Fiddler could be our central application we use to access all our UO modding tools. I'd think the user would need to provide atleast two pieces of data when defining his custom button, a caption for the button and a path to the application being assigned to the button. I suppose there should be a place for additional parameters that might need to be appended to the application launch command as well.

Anyway, that's my next idea for expanding this wonderful piece of software.

Thanks Turley.

Turley,

Thanks for creating such a wonderful tool.
This has matured so quickly it's hard to believe.

Keep up the good work!

We have needed a good utility like this for a long time on the POL side.
