Hello fearless modders,

Over the last week or so I’ve been developing a tool that can hopefully make editing the game JSON files in bulk a more streamlined and easy process. It’s pretty simplistic right now, but I’ve gotten far enough that it can edit the properties of existing items and introduce new items to the game from start to finish, so I decided to share it.

I’d love all kinds of feedback at this point - bug reports and feature requests especially.

Here’s the download. Just keep in mind that this is a rough alpha and it’s probably buggy. It might mess up your game’s data files, so you should back them up or edit a fresh copy of the game.  
The current version is 0.1 r30. That version is only compatible with stable release 0.8 (Romero).  
[http://www.brianmacintosh.com/projects/catamodder/CataclysmModder\_r30.zip](http://www.brianmacintosh.com/projects/catamodder/CataclysmModder_r30.zip)

Alpha5 was the last version that was compatible with Cataclysm 0.7 (Lindqvist):  
http://www.brianmacintosh.com/projects/catamodder/CataclysmModder\_alpha5.zip

You’ll need the Microsoft .NET Framework 4.0 to run this version.  
[http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=17851](http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=17851)

The project is up on Github, which is a great place to post bug reports and suggestions.  
[https://github.com/BrianMacIntosh/CataModder](https://github.com/BrianMacIntosh/CataModder)

Here, I have written a complete beginner’s guide to using the program to add a new item to the game:  
[http://smf.cataclysmdda.com/index.php?topic=2666.msg56265#msg56265](http://smf.cataclysmdda.com/index.php?topic=2666.msg56265#msg56265)

Here’s a picture!

Have fun,

Thank you, I can’t wait to try this out. I wouldn’t have been able to tell you a single object that needed to be in the game, but now I’ve got hundreds on my mind. I’ll let you know how it works out, but I’m excited to see this kind of support.

I am very excited. Grabbing this.

EDIT: Two requests: recipes.json and some way to mod mutations!

Yes, very nice! The possibility of something like this being built was a big reason for the switch to JSON. Thanks a lot for the hard work!

Looks like a great tool. Too bad I can’t test it.

Great, that’s good to hear! Recipes are definitely the next thing coming up, though mutations haven’t been pushed to JSON and might not be for a while because of how unique they are.

@CIB - Is it because you’re on a mac? Sadly, I don’t have the time or tools to support macs for this.

Looks great.

Hope it works. Have to wait till I get to my PC to test it. Also, you created it for Windows right? So have you tested on any Linux systems? If not I will test on Ubuntu later today (about 8-10 hours from now).

I haven’t tested it on Linux, so that prompted me to do some research on Wine, and I discoved that Mono actually has a full implementation of Winforms, the main technology I used to create this. So maybe Mac and Linux support isn’t such a remote possibility  
after all.

I have no idea if this version will run under Wine at the moment, so I’m interested in what you find.

[quote=“xibalba”]Use winetricks to install the vb6 runtime(s), and then run CataModder from the command line using wine to determine what dlls you are missing. Google those dlls and then either add them to wine yourself or add them via winetricks.

And seeing as cataclysm is open source, is CataModder open source too?[/quote]

Yup it is, it’s on [GIT](https://github.com/BrianMacIntosh/CataModder).

When i try to use it (I can’t load it up from desktop.) I keep getting errors when trying to create items, and loading up the .JSON files similar to this one. also it only loads up version 0.6 for me.

I will check out those two things. Your suggestions are also good ones, and you mirrored Zireael’s complaint on Git that the way the program saves is very unfriendly to Git. I should be able to fix all these things by the weekend, and if that comes together I’ll put up a second build then.

After that I’ll move on to recipes and maybe a port to Mono to make it cross-platform.

You probably don’t have the Microsoft .NET framework. I’ll add a note to the first post and readme.  
[http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=17851](http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=17851)

Hopefully the Mono version won’t require anything like this.

To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this  
application or computer (machine.config) must have the  
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.  
The application must also be compiled with debugging  
enabled.

For example:

When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception  
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer  
rather than be handled by this dialog box.

Also when i make an item and select something new, the entire item values all return to blank, also another bug, the program seems to mess up all the weight values in the original .JSON’s too ridiculous values

When making an item, it’s normal.  
Weight was recently overhauled and it’s possible that the tool doesn’t mesh with it.

That’s a lot of weird errors. What version of Cataclysm are you using?

I tried it with 0.6, 0.7, 0.7.1, and the nightly :S, maybe it just doesnt like me xD, well luckily i know how to modify the actual JSON 's, but for speed and ease of access i was hoping to use your tool, oh and some additional info im using windows 7 x64 (x86)
