Quote: Hey there!
Today i had a small bit of time where i was able to code. Sadly i forgot the sourcecode of YiasDX at home on my external drive so i decided to have a look at something different because i wanted to program something.
As i was playing around with the Win SDK i decided to make some shellextensions for Model-editing fileformats. I started with ADT. I extended the "Properties"-Page with a tab which shows some information about the file. I plan to allow some basic edits from there.
When i started it i thought that it will only be to get a feeling for shellexts but now i have seen that it may have potential, so until i get enough time to work again on the details of my mapeditor i will work on that. May release a version in a few days.

Quote: Agree.
Rambling:
Looking at the last image above... imagine from that point to being able to swap all instances of a given m2 with a different one just by typing the path to the new one (or selecting from a dropdown).
or swap WMOs...
How about showing the textures found in the current ADT (with previews)... and allowing swapping/changing textures...
Or... select a WMO then click a button to edit that WMO in WMOEdit
There are a ton of things that come come to mind that would be perfect for a context menu setup. Most of Cryects would be handy in a right-click scenario.
Well done! This has great potential, especially for easing the pain of texture and m2 swapping, and for semi-automating tedious (formerly) cli-based tasks like Cryects (which needs update anyhow!)
GJ!

Quote: So, thats a version just to test if installation works and if the prop gets displayed on Vista and XP. So if someone could test it would be nice:
ADTProp.rar ... at uploaded.to - Free File Hosting, Free Image Hosting, Free Music Hosting, Free Video Hosting, ...
Just run Install.bat. This will call DllRegisterServer in the DLL and in this function the entries to the registry are made. Then right click on an ADT and go to "properties".
