What Tools can be developed to help world building?

ED: RoR works for Windows as well... Mongrel cluster isn't happy on Windows, but the basic RoR app works fine there as well... so it's cross-platform capable.

You can write anything you want - who knows - It may end up being a classic emu killer app.

Novel ways of doing things are my style - I tend to create apps with a sorta out of the box way of thinking - and that's with Rush or Triumph playing in the background...

I've been thinking about a web app to edit items using DHTML and maybe even switch/destory/add items to players with the DHTML.. Not sure how many people would actually like that and still trying to figure out how the hex blobs can be translated from the mysql database =S

Probably the most important thing all serverops need right now is something that will allow them to easily browse, view (and even edit) coin on players.

That way, we at least have a way to look if players have been successful in doing any PP exploits and have ungodly amounts of coin stashed somewhere.

Heck, even an SQl query that would allow us to get into that blob and run a report of who has what would be a godsend!

Every character editor I've seen so far conveniently skips coin.

I'm not familiar with the blobs they are using... I've tried the reverse hexidecimal forumulas in php to decode the blobs to about 25% success...

Categorizing the blobs, setting it up in its own array is a pain in the ass by itself... coin, is one of those 75%'s I haven't had the time or patience to figure out yet =( *along with skills, flags, which I really want to be able to get into soon!*

Yeah once that is sorted out and understood it will make everyones' lives much easier... because then maybe a tool can be created to be able to view/edit these things.

As far as EQEMU tools go, I think this sort of toolset is probably the most severely lacking out of anything.
