+ Supports XML comments now. Up to five comments allowed between nodes (i.e. Info, Race, Star, Planet, Resource, Ship).
+ Added map details. Have information such as Map Title, Revision, Author, HomePage and Description automaticlly written to your map file.
+ Added handling of corrupt/missing Star & Planet names (would cause Access Violations).

Are you planing in making a modding tool to easily edit stuff like techs and weapons? Basicly im not sure if I should work on one, and I defently don't want to make one if someone else already has a good one out there.

Yes, the plan is to grow this into a full blown editor and mod development tool, including editors for all of the XML files. But please come register on our site, we are always looking for people to help out!!

Delphi, but I have actually gone as far to call a C DLL (that I wrote) from Delphi that will inject another DLL into a running process, so I would say yes to DLL functions calls. I believe it's possible to do a C Class import from a DLL; but I think it would be problematic.

Are you suggesting some kind of SDK you would like me to exposed so people could write plugins/extensions? I would not be opposed to doing that if there was enough interest.

Come over and register on the site if you would like to talk more about this.

2 Questions.

1) Will we eventually be able to modify and create events with GCBuilder?

2) Do you know offhand if, within events, each moral option can affect multiple attributes. Right now each event in events.xml allows a given moral option to affect one attribute plus population; I want to know if, say, a good choice can increase morale while also decreasing production.

GCBuilder looks great so far. It's good to know someone is working on this kind of tool.

Events look like they are hard coded based on the internal name. Stardock would need to change how the events work before this could be possible. All you can do for the time being (don't know what Stardock could have planned) is adjust the values of current events. I don't think you can even add a new event.
