So I've finally had some free time after not having been able to work on Gump Studio for over 6 years. A few days ago I started rewriting it from scratch using everything I've learned since them. It's using the newest version of the .net framework, and the latest Ultma SDK that I could find. Plugins should be cleaner and easier to write, but unfortunately plugins for the old version will not work with this version. I'm going to attempt to recreate the script export plugins that I can find the source code for online (most of them), that have compatible licenses - I've had trouble tracking down their authors after all these years. I'm hoping to release it in the next few weeks or a month, but I want it to match the full feature set that 2.x had before releasing 3.
Some of the planned changes:
So here is my question... Besides getting rid of the crashing, bugs, and other features listed above, what would you like to see new or changed in this version?
Some of the planned changes:
- Native save format will be XML based
- (maybe) Import of 2.x .gump save format
- Easier plugin development because of new .NET framework and Generics
- Faster (or totally eliminate) the art cache generation
- (optional) Check for updates to main application and plugins on start
- Built in instruction manual
- (optional) Error reporting and other anonymous usage statistics to help me improve the program
