XML Dialog Editor Description

The XML Dialog-Editor was designed to be a tool to create or edit the NPC-Dialogs (.npc) from RunUO's XMLSpawner by ArteGordon. In addition to the standard-functionality the ".xmledit"-command gives you ingame I made a few features to make this editor as newbie-friendly as it could be. One of the biggest problems are a lot of XMLSpawner-specific commands, values etc. with a lot of (optional) parameters. A complete documentation is not present at the moment, only a chronological release-info. So when I want to know how a specific thing is working in the actual version I have to look backwards through the whole txt-document - it's time consuming in case you are not working on a daily basis with this (great!) system and knowing it's niceties. So on top of my wish-list for the editor are wizards for all of those text-fields. Some minor issues are resulting from the Ultima Online client itself and it's usability with dialogs: You cannot edit the text of a textbox by clicking right in the middle of the text, thats working only with those books. Also there is not much space to view all those necessary information so it's difficult to get a overview of your dialog (e.g. dependings) 'cause resizing of the gump isn't possible, either - no matter if you have a 1024x768 resolution or a 16:9 tft. The fact that you have to be online is just an additional fact - and not every Gamemaster or Seer wants to run a local "development"-server only to make new dialogs offline (e.g. when traveling with a notebook). Main features: wizards for most textfields implemented all XmlAttachments with overloaded constructors implemented commonly used properties and other commands / values (e.g. nametypes) listview like the one in ultima online treeview for dependancies overview export as textfile and pdf (flow chart) create / edit dialogs via FTP-server deleting and duping many items at the same time multilanguage support (currently english and german) bugs and feature-requests can be submitted out of the program via a simpel dialog installation and auto-update via ClickOnce
