Star Fury Modder
The Star Fury Modder (Or SF Modder) is what I've been working on for some time (Since around the 10th of August, so not so long...), it will make modding Star Fury much easier.
I plan to make the editor complete... So you can make a complete mod without ever having to open notepad.
Editors Will Include:
* Components Editor
* Ship Editor
* Missions/Jobs Editor
* Events Editor
* AI Editor
* Shop Editor
* Quadrant Map Editor
* Systems Editor
* And many more!
At this point I am not sure whether I will share my source code.
