wysiwyg mission builder eclipse plug in
« on: March 10, 2014, 08:03:12 AM »

I'm in the mood for creating something!

Does the community have a need for a wysiwyg eclipse plugin for building mission files? (would work in a similar way to ui builders; drag&drop components and compliment with code as necessary)

If not, does anyone else have ideas for some useful utility that doesn't currently exist?

Sorry, wysiwyg = what you see is what you get.

But yes, basically a graphical editor so you don't have to manipulate text files directly (or at least, not exclusively)

I would buy an onslaught and give it to the maker of the mission builder.

A WYSIWYG system builder would be tremendously useful.  It's also quite a challenge.  I'd say go for it, if you're up for the work.
