Yeah seems crazy but… today I wrote a small editor in VB for usm2! I save the data, as always, in CSV format so isn’t a big deal to read it from mac/pc transparently. Why I made that editor? because I’m making the interactive match of the game, and I wanted a flexible way to organize/edit the various event. Before I had to type manually a line like:

5,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0, 0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0, 0,0,0,0, 0,0,0,0,champions!,,Temporary Event,0,Temporary Event,0,Temporary Event,0

quite easy to make errors! now instead I have all checkboxes, radio buttons and textfields – much more intuitive. Took me 4h to make (most time spent checking the VB manual, wasn’t using it since 3 years!) but probably will save lot of time and potential bugs later.

So now I can start to fill the data… I don’t know yet if I’ll make the editor available to public since is quite “raw” but once I refine it a bit… why not? people would be able to create their custom in-match events. So if you want to have an event like:

“the french player goes nearby the italian… and he gives him a powerful headbutt!”

you can add it! 😀
