Why doesnt someone put together a standalone tool for the creation of CC's. I think that would make several Dev's jobs a lot easier if people could easily create CC's. A large number of people know the game mechanics for particular classes but lack the coding knowledge to translate that into a workable CC.
Here is how I envisage it could work. You startup the application, come to a main page or splash screen which asks you to select which class you want.
Depending on what class was selected from the earlier combobox, you are then presented with a form customised for each class. For example if I had selected rogue then I would be presented with some kind of a form like this:
Please excuse the crappy image, was just while I had something in my head I thought id knock up what a GUI might look like. As you can see I only spent like two minutes on it......
Then when you have selected the appropriate drop downs and spells, you press add, which then writes the appropriate C# code for the actions, depending on what combo box's are selected (probably using some case statements, etc). For example if I selected the first combo box then it would know to insert line 1, which the selected drop downs. These could then be all in seperate group boxes. So for example one for target debuffs, one for your buffs, one for your debuffs, etc.
You then build your combat section and insert it into a template (probably the default ones that come with HB), which then does the rest. This could then eventually be built on to maybe have a section for PvP logic, etc. Several developers could be involved, no idea how we would keep source control or log defects though.
EDIT: Put this in the wrong place. Can a mod please place this in General Discussions?
