Good afternoon all,

To make a long story short, I came to check the status of EB2 just over a week ago and decided to download ss and PI. I wanted a way to view the units and buildings so I can get an idea of what the mods offer so I decided to start whipping up a piece of software to do it.

The problems I am facing are,

1. unit values from the file differ from in game, how does the game calculate the stats?

2. what is the best file to read what cultures are available to the mod? I have tried descr_cultures but the units dont seem to match the cultures (At least with ss it doesnt, PI works fine).

Here is link to software,
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=B7EQNBP4

7zip and .net4 is required.

Currently the software reads the EDU, descr_mount, descr_character, and descr_cultures. I still want to add support for Buildings, model file and maps.

To use, just place in the mod of your choice root folder.

This download also includes a third party dll to read the stupid targa images and a very buggy property grid from codeplex. Also I include a EDU from PI beta 0.95 and SS6.4 as the EDU needs to be basically perfect to read the units correctly and SS suffers some horrendous formatting. I dont plan on working on this software past next week end so if anybody wants the source just ask

Note: I did not spend any time designing the software, basically just wingin it as I go along, so dont expect much from the code, though I did try to keep some cleanliness. Also because WPF is broken beyond belief there is no folder dialog so the software MUST be placed in the root of the mod. Maybe someone else will add that feature but I refuse to start hosting winform controls in a seperate technology!
