Introducing New (Enhanced) MaLa Game List Editor
Congui:
A very cool app indeed. Thx.
loadman:
I have not tested it yet but when you are done I am happy to hosts it at malafe.net if you want? Or at least a link to it.
zorg:
for list editing I wish to have a simple tool that allows me to create the list as just plain text rom names. then havig the list converted to mala list game
does such tool exists ??
I'm most used to deal with text parsing and unix tools than other thing, thats why dealing with plain text is easier for me. no need for graphic interface. command line will be fine.

Absolutely, Please read the 2nd half of the post. My tools consist of 2 parts, the command line converter and the graphical user interface which wraps the converter. The CLI utility, does just as you say, it converts binary mlg files to plain-text (ascii) ini files. Feel free to use Perl, Bash, CShell, or whatever tool you like to parse the file. If you want to convert from plain-text to binary mlg, then just create the ini file in your language of choice and feed it into the converter. The ini template is in the post.
You can also read about my lessons learned from this project in my code-project article which documents how I arrived at the solution I engineered and the struggles I had to overcome regarding some of the limitations I encountered with the System.Diagnostics.Process class types while building this modular framework:
http://www.codeproject.com/KB/dotnet/FunWithProcesses.aspx
The only reason there is a graphical user interface at all is because I figured no-one (other than me) would ever use the tool if I released the command line converter on it's own.
Cheers

I appreciate it loadman. I have created all my lists using the tool and now I'm just waiting for feedback from the MaLa community. If it's useful to them then I will host it on one of my servers permanently, and if not then that's ok too, the publicly available project will die and I'll just use it myself whenever I need to manage my MaLa game lists.
