Thank you for sharing this tool.
I will compare it with Wadupdater. At first sight its more user friendly.

that's very nice, Alex. Thank you for another great tool

Let me see if I understand who it works...
Imagine that i want to export a single car Lod or a car texture from cars.wad , modify it and then import it again to cars.wad.
I understood how to export it from the original file but how can i replace the original file with the modified one?
Is it jus with Drag and Drop ? No need to save the entire wad file ?

Thanks Duffer!

Copy and paste doesn't work anymore?

Glenn

Great tool, thanks for your work on this Alex

Thanks all for comments.

@Ruitap : To export file, in first you must import the cars.wad. Else if you have associate file in preferences just click on the wad file. After you have to choice to export, you can select the file on the main table and right click on it and export file. Else if you want to export shape and textures click on eport files. You can select a lot of files. Made you modification on it.
To re import them in the wad, you just need to make a drag and drop them to Wad Controller. When you have finish just click on Save Change.

@Gap177 : What do you mean by Copy and paste doesn't work anymore ?

--------------------------------------------

I'm still using GP4 master since I can't seem to be able to make wadupdater work correctly, so this is going to be a huge step up ! If your tool at least remember the last paths / filenames used for create a wad from scratch I'm going to gain quite a lot of clicks.

Thanks for your clear explanation .
Good job and good tool.

Fantastic work, Alex! Thank you for yet another great tool!

Nice tool, thank you Alex

A new version is now online.
Fix a bug for export files : Correct a bug on the export file function. When you exported files there was a problem with the creation of the directory structure.
Fix a minor bug on update tracks : At start you can change the destination folder even if you hadn't loaded the files you want to add. Now you can't

--------------------------------------------

Hi again.
I did a few tests with your application, it's nicely done, and it work, I built my first wad with it.

It would need a modification to become a real time saver: create a wad in one click.
I always rebuild a wad from a work folder I have on my hard drive. So every time, I need to select a folder, select a file, and validate.

That's how I use GP4master, and how it works in your application.

It would be awesome (and I mean awesome !) if you could, instead of poping the folder and file selection windows, show on the right side a simple sheet with:
- 2 text fields: one for the folder to read from, the other one for the wad to create
- 1 button to validate.

This way, when you change texture in the folder and already have Wadcontroller opened, you simply click on the validation button, without having to re-enter the same folder and file information.

@Zifox : I'll going to see what can i do for you

--------------------------------------------

Great stuff, Alex!!

A new version is now online.
Fix Major Bug : Correct a bug on the installation add-on function which creates a problem with the creation of file names present in the final wad.
New feature - Rename file function : Now you can rename files in the wad, with right click when you have a select a file.
New Feature - Recurring create Wad : Now you have 2 choose to create a wad file. One time or Recurring. For one time there is no change except enhancing code. For recurring, it save your directory with your files, and the destination file. So you just need to click on Save
