Cleaned up old code and comments.

The current build (0.3.4a) adds edit and save button functionality. Clicking on the Edit button allows you to edit the "Details" field in the displayed table. Clicking the Save button will, in the future, make a copy of the original file and save it to a backup folder containing the data of the backup in the foldername, as well as save the newly edited data back into a file in the originating folder.

Installation

For those of you feeling "hands-on", the .jar file is also included:

  • Click Here to download the "nightly" build with newest additions (generally the latest build after I get tired of working on it for the day).
  • Click Here to download the last, most stable build for release and user testing/criticism (weekly, at the latest).

Execute Jar Example

(You will need java version 1.8.0_172 installed to run it).

Open a command prompt or Powershell window and...

java -jar BattletechModder.jar

Otherwise, to install the .exe:

Click Here to download from DropBox

The application is not signed with a certificate, so you may have to allow your anti-virus to run it.

Also, there are no pop ups or spyware here (I'm really not interested in anyone else's computer information flotsam, nor am I interested in doing someone else's advertising for them).

In either case, as with everything else you download, use at your own risk - I am not responsible for you not taking the proper precautions or not making backups of files you decide to change BEFORE you change them.

Install Location

The app installs (on windows) to C:\Users\userName\AppData\Local\BattletechModder. There, you will find the BattletechModder.exe file, for which a shortcut may be made and placed on the desktop.
