WoW UI Designer |
From WoWDev
WoW UI Designer started off as an idea I had to be able to load in any addon frame and edit it like you would a form in Borland C++ Builder (my development environment of choice until recently). From that it developed into a full IDE, with the ability to edit lua scripts, and xml files in both code and designer views. Hopefully in the months ahead, it will develop into the only choice for WoW interface developers even if the visual designer is not powerful enough for them.
Check the page http://wowuides.wowinterface.com/beta.html for small feature updates to this application. Major, tested changes will be posted here.
Features
- Native Win32 application developed in C# 2005 requiring .Net v2.0. Compatible with Windows XP Home(Untested) and Professional(Tested), Windows 2003 Server (Untested), and Windows 2000 Professional (Tested) with the latest service packs;
- Multiple docking form interface in the style of Microsoft's development environments, provides flexibility for the user and developer;
- Tight integration with Blizzard's World of Warcraft game, providing editors for their open User Interface standard that use XML and Lua 5.0 standards;
- Flexible renderer to display any LayoutFrame element defined in an XML file validated against Blizzard's UI.XSD schema;
- Embedded Scintilla editor provides syntax highlighting for XML and LUA files, and the ability to display calltips in the future;
- Visual designer to create new forms and edit them. Uses skin files to define what components can be placed, what properties they have, and how to convert between the XML and Windows.Forms;
- This release WILL NOT handle your existing UI files within the editor, it can only handle files that it itself created.
- Lots of other stuff yet to do!
