As I said, it's just a little perk that isn't really necessary. Would just be nice so staff could make items without going through the hassle of installing mysql (which many do, especially if they have dialup to download it with.)
Keep up the good work.

Ohh, so you mean like an offline mode? So they can just use the fill out all the fields and save whatever is there to a .sql? Good idea .

[sanock42]

Yeah, Mangoo. Offline mode, that's what I was trying to say.
Thanks, I'm going to love you forever for it.


Oh, one more thing about this offline mode. If it could allow you to do multiple items and append them to a sql as you do them, that would be great. In fact, if the save to sql function would have the option append to an existing file, that would save me a lot of time combining them into one file. When you have 40 item changes that aren't close to one another (so you have to do singles of each one), it gets a little tedious.

OH GEEZ! I'll try man, if not by 2.0 Release then hopefully by 2.1.

Hehe, no rush. I have a crappy text merger for now that does the job, evne though I have to go through and edit the sql. Don't have to hurry it, you're doing a great job already. (Yes, I am saying it a lot, but I know how much *I* like to hear I'm doing a good job)

One feature request:

Instant C&P. It would be nice to pick a item, hit a button, and it instantly creates a new, identic item (Could name it Copy of <name> though) in the lowest free ID from 1000+. Would save time making those new items and then painstakingly C&Ping similar items when for example, making a new suit of platemail

Sounds good to me.

[Virus11]

Nice idea! That would make things so much easier.

Another idea, perhaps to late for this release
Item usage : Create a summary of the spawns that have the item in their drop or merchant lists.
Could allow to eliminate useless items...

What about adding an option that the item editor remember the item you were using last time you closed item editor ?
