So I was thinking about trying my hand at a mod for the game. I think this is probably the first time I have wanted to do something like that since Quake had me writing weapon mods.

I have a few ideas for a new class but as I was thinking about building it I started thinking more and more about what features I would want in a mod editor for CoE5. Sadly that is just the kind of geek I am.

So I posted a few ideas[lolbat.github.io] to one of my blogs and I thought that before I started throwing code at my code editor that I would get some feedback from people here.

So would people be interested in a mod editor? As per the blog post the initial idea would be to make it easier to write code and then toss everything you need into a build directory for deployment to Steam.

If you were interested what sort of things would you want to see in an initial release?

Also, I am curious if the folks at Illwinter would want a tool like that released?

The idea is that I would create an initial release and then post the source etc to github where people could help out if they wanted but also make their own builds etc etc.

So let me know what you think?

And if anyone is curious I never finished my Quake weapon mods but I did write an app to validate your code (for those people not using a c compiler) and also wrote another tool to help people track and rate the Quake maps and mods they had.
