First and foremost; this tool is still under active development. So if things don't quite work properly, just let me know and I'll try to fix it ASAP.

RULES OF THIS THREAD​
  1. If you have an issue with the editor, but don't give me a clear, and concise description of the issue, I will simply ignore you. Period.
  2. If you have a bug to report, please do so with as much information as you can. Any posts stating "it's broken" or similar, will be ignored. (I will contact the mods to remove such posts as well.)
  3. Complaining, bitching, or otherwise annoying me, will not be tolerated. If you have an issue with the way I do things, go somewhere else. I'm not here to please everyone. I'm only here to make life a bit easier for some of you.

Now that we've got that out of the way; lets get into the good stuff shall we?

WHAT IT DOES​

The editor is a graphical editor for profiles, with a 'visualizer' type aspect, as seen in EditPatrol (an old Glider profile editor). However, the way things are done, are vastly different.

For example; my application uses XNA to do all the rendering, which allows me to do 'special' things with it, and keep memory usage to a minimum. EditPatrol however, uses mostly GDI (the stuff most Window's applications use to render their windows, buttons, etc). In short; this means I can do a bit more stuff, much easier than the EditPatrol guys could. (Also, please correct me if I'm wrong about any of the above, the last time I checked on EP was a few years ago.)

In its current state my editor will allow you to do quite a few things, some of which aren't completed, and some of which likely won't be for quite some time.

  • You can load basically any Honorbuddy (1 or 2) profile into the editor. All XML tags are currently supported.
  • You can save your profiles to valid HB2 format. (Subsequently, this won't work for HB1 profiles, but you can quickly 'upgrade' your profiles using my editor) This includes QuestOrder, quest overrides, blackspots, etc.
  • You can completely edit normal GRIND ONLY profiles with the current builds of the editor. Quest profiles are currently not supported in the editor, however, they can be loaded/saved without any issue.
  • Visually add/remove hotspots with a single click. (And maybe holding a key down too ;))
  • Edit all item lists. (Protected items, forced mail items, etc)
  • Quickly add/edit vendors. You can simply click a vendor in the visualizer to add them to your vendors list.
  • Add, edit, and remove quest overrides. All within the visual editor. - Currently in development. GUI issues abound!
  • Complete support for quest order 'stuff'. This includes making sure you complete objectives as you go, and even automatically showing possible errors. (Picking up a quest, before a checkpoint -> turnin order.) - Quest order stuff is in very early internal alpha testing at the moment. Expect it somewhat soon though!
  • Support for correcting Z coordinates in hotspots on a loaded/new profile.
  • Much, much more.

If you want to see a demo vid of the editor in action (with a somewhat buggy build) you can view the video here: http://www.code-cave.com/demo/

The following are some examples of 'bad' profiles that my editor has caught issues with, as you can see from the images, it's fairly self-explanatory what's wrong with them. (Sorry Mord, your profile just happens to be one of the few I've been testing with!)

Hotspots completely inside blackspots (causes HB to bug out):

Hotspot orders being completely ass-backwards:

More images to come...

good on releasing it will help a lot during the progress of making any profiles.
 
thanks, looks awsome... but ehm... where can i download that brain thingy?
 
I try to load a profile, but can't see anything about it. Have tried several profiles, nothing shows up.
 
Looks very, very good! As soon as the ability to view herbs, minerals, mobs and vendors/npcs work I honestly thing this will bring a lot more content in terms of remade profiles to HB as most of the time the only reason people drop their profiles from development is the sheer effort required - myself included in this list.

when you load it on the left you should see the name of the profile, click that then press the subprofile.

If you are talking about the map, you have to go to top and it says Load or something and then you select Load Areas and select the area / zone you want to see the profile in:)

Yeah, I've gotten that far, changing the national settings on my windows helped with the hotspots (at least some of them). But my subprofiles tab is empty for like 90% of my profiles.

Edit: Oh nvm, there are no subprofiles for those profiles. Seems to work now, awesome.

Well done mate, you beat me at releasing a profile editor:)
 
Not a race :)
I was about to post mine, but you got there first.
Now, I have some time to fix the issues I have in mine.

From the looks of it, yours is awesome :)
 
Is there an option to load all zones (Maps)..cause i want it to load all of them forever and not for each map, when i need it..

If you've extracted it to a directory, it'll only save the minimap images once. After that; it's stored in the folder you unzipped it to. (Check the MinimapImages directory)
 
No i mean: In the old version you opened the Editor and it wanted to extract all Maps from WoW...And i wanted something like this in the new Version.^^

That would cause up to 500MB of wasted disk space. I chose the less intrusive option, and only dump the minimap images you actually request.
