Hi there.

I'm working as a game developer on a user interface display engine, and I've been thinking that for a test application I could do something GW related. My idea would be something of a character-build library, possibly with comments for each build, simple stuff that could have a base file format so it'd be easy to maintain a common big library somewhere on the net.
I realize there's already a char builder tool out there, but I didn't check it yet, I just need to do some test stuff for this engine, so I'm asking if there would be any need for this :)
If you want to check the stuff I've already done just check www.conspiracy.hu :)

GWFreaks (http://www.gwfreaks.com) already created a tool to create build with also comments on each template.

The template format (http://www.gwfreaks.com/TemplateFormatOverview.aspx) is in xml and well explained in details (http://www.gwfreaks.com/TemplateFormatXmlDetail.aspx).

There is even open source code [in .net] to read template.

In another perspective we will probably host templates before the end of the year... that sound pretty far away, but we have great list of new features coming before that.

If your interested to shared the template format with us, we have absolutely, everyone would benefit from that including players.

Pretty nice, if I ever get around to creating the tool, I'll definitely add support for import/export to that xml format, just for the sake of compatibility.
