It looks absolutely fantastic!
You definitely nailed the players tab!
I didn't have much to work on it recently...
Great work, I'll definitely pull these changes in.
This is what I meant by "a collaborative effort"!
If you prefer, I can add you as a collaborator on github.

HWMod - Modify Hammerwatch on a whole new level

I present to you, 2 simple scripts I wrote to Unpack+Pack the "assets.bin" file found in your Hammerwatch installation folder. I believe that with this tool, we can now use Hammerwatch like an RPG engine but without limitation to just levels. For example:  changing how the main menu looks like, The language files (translate the game), etc. This tool goes well with Hammersprite to generate the xml for replacing some of the original sprites with new ones. Simply put, this is for modifying Hammerwatch the game, itself. Hammerwatch is awesome.

HW-Extract.exe - A simple tool extract the "assets.bin"
HW-Pack.exe - This goes with HW-Extract.exe, to Pack it back to "assets.bin"

One question. I see that OpenTK is used, but why doesn't Hammerwatch have OpenTK.dll included?
EDIT : Anyway, I have simply included some code from OpenTK instead. Seems to work fine.

Hi Myran,
Thank you very much for your reply. I appreciate it. I have decided to directly use the C# class provided, but I have encountered a problem.

Spoiler for problem:

When loading the HWS format and saving it to XML, the final, produced XML document is clipped or incomplete.
eg.

Code: XML

1. ... <int>0</int><

or

Code: XML

1. ... <float>96.38364</f

Am I doing something wrong? I am missing something... The program finishes with no errors.
Here's the code for the console application, just in case.

Code: [Select]

using System;
using System.IO;

namespace hws2xml
{
class Program
{
public static void Main(string[] args)
{
if (args.Length < 2) {
Console.WriteLine("hws2xml [infile] [outfile]");
Console.WriteLine("if [infile] has .hws it will converted to .xml");
Console.WriteLine("if [infile] has .xml it will converted to .hws");
} else {
string inFile = args[0];
string outFile = args[1];

if (File.Exists(inFile)) {
string inType = Path.GetExtension(inFile).ToUpper();
if (inType == ".XML") {
TextReader TR = new StreamReader(inFile);
SValue OBJ = SValue.FromXMLFile(TR);
BinaryWriter BW = new BinaryWriter(File.Open(outFile,FileMode.Create));
SValue.SaveStream(OBJ,BW);
Console.WriteLine("Converted from XML to HWS.");
} else { // .HWS
BinaryReader BR = new BinaryReader(File.Open(inFile,FileMode.Open));
SValue OBJ = SValue.LoadStream(BR);
TextWriter TW = new StreamWriter(outFile);
SValue.SaveXML(OBJ,TW);
Console.WriteLine("Converted from HWS to XML.");
}
} else {
Console.WriteLine("Error: Invalid input file.");
}
Console.WriteLine("Done.");
}
}
}
}

And thanks again.

EDIT: Nevermind, forgot to close the files.
