Amnesia Lang Editor Tool - V1.1

Original Forum Post

About

I've always found myself prone to making syntax errors when writing the language file data for amnesia, but yet i found the existing Lang tool (HplLangTool) not quite what I was looking for either. It was also lacking a way of merging files together. So I've written up this new tool.

Features

  1. Reads / Writes valid XML LANG files. Provides a useful error message if there was a parsing failure (errors tab) - helpful for debugging.
  2. Allows appending lang files together. If there is an entry collision the old entry is kept, and a message output to the errors tab.
  3. Easy to use, for adding & removing categories & entries you shouldn't even need the mouse.
  4. Collapsible tree structure to make categories easy to navigate.
  5. Resources information parsed
  6. Move entries between categories by dragging and dropping.
  7. Script support. You can now easily write scripts (C#) to generate language file content.
  8. SpellChecker

Requires .net framework 3.0 to run.
