Fleet Ops modding tools

[Tryptic]

I've been working on a side project for some time now, and I wonder if anyone is interested in working with me.

Most Fleet Operations ship stats cannot be directly modified, but I've created a tool for this which I use in my own modding. In order to use this tool for regular Flops, the ship database just needs to be filled out. This is mostly looking up values in the odfs and hand-jamming them into an excel spreadsheet. Anyone interested?

That does sound pretty useful. Would it work on stuff other than FO's ODF archive thing?

Probably? It spits out text files which you then put into the archive. Technically the generator is already complete and producing right now, but you have to build the database of ship stats.

It operates in parts: there's a hitpoint generator for ship files, a generator for weapon ordinance, a generator for special weapons, and a part that updates the tooltip file. I'm probably going to add a build cost section at some point, so you just update the values in the spreadsheet and it writes them to the text files.

That sounds pretty cool.

Hmm...unfortunately, I've come across a passive that can't be perfectly recreated by the generator.
The officer Veqlaragh's weapons deal a percent of the target's hitpoints, added onto its normal damage. My generator only multiplies
