Juist another update. I've added a lot of polish. variable tracking, templates and game data get their own panes, and simplification pass. Modder shouldnt be inundated with all the ways things can be done, so the main highlight is managing their own tables and working with templates. They can, if ...

Thank you!! I am excited to see what comes of it too.

For the latest update I spent most of the past week working on setup and managing multiple game versions. Since the game updates frequently, and table data shifts around, and mods can be built at different times with different versions, I wanted ...

Just checking in again, I've setup a settings management system. Users can set defaults, set theme, appearance settings, game install, etc. It's seeded with defaults, can auto find shadow empire (or let you browse if it cant find it) etc. its accessible via File > settings, and in the lower left ...

I have been busy adding a lot of features and working on this project almost every single day. I have the latest screens here https://imgur.com/a/5Y35dfp

Work done so far (not complete list)

story editors
hex perk editor
graphics picker and manager
LSP and syntax highlighting and references ...

Just finished a story and event editor, it works on the most complicated and difficult table (250+ rows) screenshots and devlog notes are here https://imgur.com/a/y3UVHEw - please take a look. the event and story editor is feature complete for the gustav variant, which is the most complicated story ...

I am working on my dream mod builder for shadow empire. It builds the sev1lib files and player can import them in. It allows you to browse game data and build tables, and has special views for certain tables for a WYSIWYG style editing. It has functionality like most common editor programs have ...

I created a full reference for all exe functions, chk functions, flags, and data tables extracted directly from version 1.32a: https://shadow-empire-tools-a700c3.gitlab.io/

I'm building a mod builder that works outside the Shadow Empire S&S Editor! fully capable now, just a bit clunky to set up. I ...

Just created a mod that adds two new opening events to the game. The events are intended for single player only. These stories work similar to other stories in the game, where they add an ongoing event that the player can manage by clicking on 'call' for the governor.

The first story adds a ...

This is great, I have the same issue with lightzoneborder being hard to see. At first I thought yellow would be better (now we can have red, yellow, green lol) because it can stand out better than other colors, but then I figured it would be better to stick with a non-color approach, and after some ...

Hey! This is awesome. Wanted to point out that small5 is a monospaced font, so using arial can have some unusual consequences. I'd recommend replacing small5 with a monospaced font instead.

the benefit of monospace fonts is the text stays within a column. Most of the time these are best in code ...

Hi all, V1.0 released! Finally got around to upating the tile targeting to all zoom levels (and cleaned it up and used a different style) - also changed a few icons. This does not inlcude all the changes I made that are mentioned in the "flat icon" mod I mentioned in another post, but instead only ...

Spent all day overhauling the icons in the game. I did not create any of the icons from scratch, mostly I grabbed free an open source game icons from a few sites (which I'll share), then painted / styled them. Would love to get feedback. I'm thinking this might just be part of the UI clarity mod ...

I love how you can use the blueprints once you've made them when you are talking to your model designer. However, you can't use them until you've made at least one design. This makes airplane design still a challenge, because if you haven't created an airplane yet, you won't be able to use any of ...

Hi all,

Been a long time lurker of the forums and appreciate a lot of the graphic mods shared so I thought I'd contribute a mod I've personally been using to make things a bit more clear to understand at a glance. This is not a major overhaul of the graphics but just some minor tweaks. I'm not a ...
