New Tools

For the past few months I have been working on a new app. Its goal is to eventually replace all the current tools (all editors and the custom leaderboards recorder) and include a lot of QOL improvements. The new app is cross-platform will simply be called ddinfo-tools.

It is currently in development and an alpha build for Windows can be downloaded here. A Linux build will be available later if anyone wants to help test it.

At this point, only support for custom leaderboards has been fully implemented. There is also a working survival editor (still a work in progress) which includes some new stuff as well, such as a 3D editor, full undo and redo support, more editing tools, etc.

Advantages over deprecated tools

  1. A single application instead of three separate ones.
  2. Cross-platform instead of Windows-only. The app already runs on Linux, but it's still missing some native implementations for now. Support for Mac is also possible if anyone wants it, I just don't have a Mac to test it on so I'd need some help with that.
  3. Automatic updates.
  4. Way smaller download size; ~9 MB for all the tools combined instead of ~165 MB. No prerequisites needed.
  5. Way faster startup time compared to the previous editors.

As always, the code is open source and can be found on GitHub. For more info, check the tools page.
