[request] vStrip command line generator tool

[2COOL]

Is it just me or is the vStrip guide (http://www.doom9.org/vstrip.htm) technically complicated?! :confused: I wish someone could do up a GUI program that can generate any scenario of vStrip command lines for the vStrip CLI challenged users. Does anyone crave this claim for fame? I think it would be useful.

i agree... even the current gui is not exactly friendly....

As I was writing the application for myself and didn't want to "remove" any of the functionality, that's how it ended up...

[D3s7]

Oh by all means... that's how any app is written :)

however I can see the confusion some new users may have with it...

They're are still those bugs in IFO parsing I mentioned from ages back maven ;) nag nag ;)

OT: Blog how you got on with the 3D Engine you bought...

If anyone's still using it, I may do a bugfix release. Could you tell me again what those were exactly?

I was thinking to create a applications that enables people to create CLI gui's without coding. A CLI GUI IDE so to speak. The code for this is all there. Form disigner services are in the .NET framework, there are three examples for this available, saving the form can be done either with code generation like IDE's or with XML, code for both of this is in #D. Would require some work and advanced things like making it bidirectional where changing the command line would update the controls could be tricky. A more simply generic solution would be using a IDE and use either extended controls or extender providers and other dedicated components. The easiest generic solution is using the property grid but that's only good enough for occasional usage. Unfortunately I don't have time for another project, I've got three already and additionally .NET coding become boring lately, I'm waiting for VS VB/C++/C# 2005 and .NET 2.0 which would make putting such a application together even easier.
