The Concept of this is simple...

</BR>The tool (No Title yet) I am working on will create a Standard or User Package.

* Convert Classes Extracted to Usable XML

* Rebuild BINs that were extracted for above classes
*Idea was/is to create a common format wrapper for files that parse easily, and don't require a bunch of separate tools.
* Extract MessageStore Language Files and use for pulling strings for editing classes above
 
* Some very Basic UI Forms for viewing some of the XML Files
</BR><B>The User Project</B>
* A Managed system for interacting with all the data.
*Will contain copies of Standard files that have edits or new files added.
* Not reliant on C Code, or Specific to any future branched projects.
*In other words the idea is to be able to tell what files you have altered, without altering the originals.
* Usage of a Project File for Standard Content and Modified Content to allow editing only what you need, and packing up the changes
 
</BR><B>The Tool</B>
*Will Import these XML Files
*Allow you to edit them in A GUI Window (Windows)
*Automate & Help in adding new classes etc.
*Edit Player Character Classes (Hero & Villain)
*Edit Enemy Classes
*Edit Language Entries
*Etc
 
</BR>When the User Project is Ready it would be exported, the tool will look to see what files need to be added and generate replacement Defs or other to be rebuilt by the assets.
</BR>Once all Assets are rebuilt, handle as normal.
</BR>In some cases I could see updates needing to be required to database etc, and if so a separate file could be generated with SQL or other commands to update those portions.
