Marrkos Posted May 26, 2008, 12:19 am	More tools are available now... Making a Discussion post about the tools available to help with vehicle design since the Suggestions thread dropped off the front page, and some folks might not be aware of them. Vehicle Design Alo's web-based Carbuilder DW Designer application Discussion Threads New Builder Thread Character Stat Tracking DWStats - web-based tracking DarkWind Dashboard - Windows-based desktop application Discussion Threads DWStats Thread DarkWind Dashboard Thread Edit: changed the link to Alo's site Edit 2: added link to most recent discussion about new builders Edit 3: Made thread more generic (beyond just vehicle designers), and added links to new tools.
madmax Posted May 26, 2008, 6:48 pm	I think this should be pinned.
Kime Dennory Posted Aug 12, 2008, 10:41 pm	The web-based car builder appears to be defunct: the database it attaches to is dead. The DW Designer app appears to be out of date as regards to weapon sizes and clip sizes (e.g. car rifle is no longer size 40). I went in and hex-edited the values for my copy but I'd be hesitant to upload the results, for fear I screwed something up.
Marrkos Posted Aug 12, 2008, 11:09 pm	No need to hex edit the DW Designer. Just create an update file as they are standard SQL, and the program is designed to handle them. edit: and you should then be able to upload them to the TRAC page so everybody can get them (all 2 people who use it ). edit: sample Weapons Update: UPDATE weapons SET WeaponBulk = 0, WeaponAmmo = 0 WHERE WeaponName = 'Weapon';
Marrkos Posted Aug 12, 2008, 11:28 pm	Added said update file to TRAC. Does the following: Updates Car Rifle bulk Updates Heavy Car Rifle bulk Updates MML ammo Are there other changes I missed?
Valiance Posted Aug 12, 2008, 11:36 pm	RGM now has 3 shots?
Marrkos Posted Aug 12, 2008, 11:42 pm	Added. Thanks.
Marrkos Posted Sep 8, 2008, 12:06 am	There have been some CR changes recently so I'm creating an update file for the DW Designer application. I don't have access to all the weapons, so if anybody wants to chime in with CR values for weapons not normally seen in SS or Elms (the only 2 towns I have people in these days), it would be a big help. Thanks! edit: you can either post them here, or PM me if you prefer.
Marrkos Posted Mar 21, 2009, 1:58 am	I've noted in the original post that Alo's car builder is defunct. I'm not sure if it will come back online as Alo hasn't been around for a while, and last I heard he hadn't renewed his hosting package. If it comes back online I'll adjust the original post.

Ryzlock Posted Nov 20, 2014, 8:57 am	I was considering making a standalone version of the car designer - the website one still being maintained? Also, hotkeys improvement tool over at: Hotkeys Tool Post
Racing Robbie Posted Nov 20, 2014, 9:53 am	Kind of, I got permission to correct some items on there so it would work better - some armour values weren't set up right and some of the newer items were missing But there is still errors with some of the weapon locations (being able to mount rear weapons on PU, BPU and Semi is one) which the web-site owner isn't going to sort as requires a complete re-write of the code
Ryzlock Posted Nov 21, 2014, 10:53 am	I'll add it to my to-do list then.
Guhlius Posted Dec 13, 2015, 12:12 pm	Anyone got a working link for the tool ?
Racing Robbie Posted Dec 14, 2015, 2:57 pm	If you mean the Hot key Tool - looks like it was deleted off the server it was stored on. I think Ryzlock has disappeared as well - sorry
Guhlius Posted Dec 25, 2015, 2:13 pm	Nah I mean the DW dashboard tool. On the other hand I already got used to the web app...
