Over at Deezire you can download his WNDEdit program.

He has other gen modding stuff as well, such as the particle editer from the alphas, although it only works with vGenerals. But that isn't much, since the particle difference between Generals and Zero Hour is only that Zero Hour doesn't have some tags as they became unneeded(kind of dumb thing to do on the programmers part to be honest).

Here is the link to all his generals modding tools:

http://www.deezire.net/forums/downloads.php?do=file&id=4 (this contains the WNDEdit program)

And here is a Zero Hour module list for almost any help you need with modding the engine:

Removing unneeded stuff is in no way dumb, especially for something like particles. Also the WNDeditor from DeeZire isn't that good, it often crashes and doesn't support all types.

Yes, I know, but it can be handy.

But on the other side, like you said, it is also very confusing to use. :S

Use Notepad++

Notepad++ is a major time saver. Probably the most valuable universal tool available.

He's talking about using it for the menu files, which are text editable, but rather hard that way :p

[Ju-Jin]

QUICK_EDIT Attach signature (signatures can be changed in profile) close

yes and Notepad++ is a good text editor, in my opinion overkill for wnd files as i think of them as being a piece of cake but that is just my liking.

You are making a KW SDK. That's pretty awesome.
