Preview version of Xuri's WorldBuilder 0.23 :P
Posted: Fri Feb 03, 2006 5:13 am
The previous version of my combined worldbuilding/GMing tool was released in January 2002, so I guess it's about time to release a new version. Work on it since 0.22 has been... sporadic at best, but it's finally at a point where all of it should be updated to work with the latest UOX3 versions (hopefully) 
There's still some things I'd like to add before I release the final 0.23 version (walltypes added with recent client expansions, for instance), but overall it's pretty much done deal. Would appreciate any feedback given on how this preview version works (if it works at all), and which parts of it don't work.
For those of you who have no idea what WorldBuilder is, it's a combined ingame worldbuilding utility (constructing houses, decorating your world, etc) and GM Tool (similar to CGMT/ShardAce of old, easy access to most commands and many features of UOX3).
Without further ado, here's the link to the preview version of WorldBuilder v0.23:
(NOTE: You may have to install the Visual Basic 6.0 SP6 run-time files first!)
