For now, I need help with two things:

A name for the tool. One that's easy to remember and googleable (iow, not too many hits). As far as I'm concerned, you all decide on the name, it don't really matter to me. Just spam ideas, and vote what you like...
A logo/icon for it (must somewhat depend on previous bullet). Talented artists are welcome to hop in. I'm a complete tard when it comes to creating artwork. Icons preferred: 96x96, 48x48, 32x32 and 16x16, all in 32 and 16-bit color. Not allowed: modified SH icons.

Please post or PM if you want to help out and end up in the credits :)

well i like to keep things simple so they are easy to remember and any changes made later should not make the name not fit the same later on.

my suggestion is: "Skwasjer's Mod Tool" or "Skwasjer's 3D Mod Tool" or maybe "Skwasjer's SH4 Mod Tool"

and for the logo, i like the look and style of Captain Cox's first icon top left of picture. something in that look would fit very well, although orange and grey would not be my favorite color choice.

EDIT: if you want to call it "porter" then please call it "teleporter" instead, it just sounds better than "porter". but maybe just because i am startrek fan lol.

I have a vision... ;)

I suddenly saw it right before my eyes. The logo - a Popeyesque lower arm tattoed with a stylized can-opener. The name:

Das Tool

(in honor of U96.) ;) And since I'm not sufficiently bushy-tailed while using Paint.Net or something in the middle of the night, I'll leave it right there, hehe.

Proud to show you this one screeny:

As you can see work is progressing on the editor for properties. In the alpha release, you will only get a view mode only. It will be improved though compared to this screenshot. I will be so kind to give you exact file offsets of each property (as you select it), so while waiting for a full read/write editor (which will still take a couple of weeks extra), you can just find the damn offset in your hex editor. Good enough for now, no?

Awesome.
Can't wait to see the version where one can edit and save.
This looks very very promising
Thanks for the peek:up:

Moin skwas,

good to see you´re proceeding with your tool. I was sidetracked the last weeks by my buoy mod and didn´t keep track. Let´s hope you´ll finish it soon. You know, I´m one of those who would really need your tool.

Regards,
DD

Wow thats great. Look forward to giving it a run.
