This makes your program entirely worth it.  Having to stare at the hex numbers and guess what exact shade a color is (heliotrope?) is a pain.   Watching this.

One thing that I did see was that some of the raw files have an incorrect filename marker.  According to the wiki the first line of each raw file needs to match the filename of the file without the extension.  Several of the raws that you sent me have the wrong values. Specifically creature_vlk.txt, creature_varulf.txt, reaction_vlk.txt, and others.  I don’t know if this is an actually something that the game checks or uses, but I thought that I would mention it since they aren't strictly following the format.
Those strings need to be there, but they do not need to match the filename - as far as we know, the only thing the game does with them is sort by them so that the raws are always loaded in the same order.

Good to know.  The biggest challenge for me is going to be that I have never actually made a mod, and I'm not really interested in making them either.  I got curious, as geeks so often do, and poked around the raw folder one day.  I saw what a mess the files were and I've seen how frustrated people can get trying to make mods.  I figured there should really be an easier way.  I like making little utilities that help people do what they do easier.  Since I don't have much any modding experience I've been using the wiki and trying to parse the mod files of others in my head to make this work without actually knowing if I'm interpreting things correctly.  I may need to call on the experience of some of the more seasoned modders from time to time to make this program.

Ok, I've got my first question for the mod experts.  Do tokens ever have a varying number of arguments, or are they always fixed?  For those of you who come from a programming background I can ask it another way, can they be "overloaded"?

Certain tokens I know can be like that.  The [BODY] token in creature definitions is a big one, as it can take any number of body part definitions.  There's also the [TL_COLOR_MODIFIER] token in creatures, which will take any number of possible colors. (e.g. [TL_COLOR_MODIFIER:GREEN:1] or [TL_COLOR_MODIFIER:GREEN:1:BLUE:1:BLACK:1])

Most syndrome tokens [CE_*] have several optional arguments, such as END:<number>, BP:<bodypart>:<tissue>, and the SIZE_DILUTES, RESISTABLE, and similar tags.  I can't think of any other tokens with varying numbers of arguments at the moment, but there may be some more.

Certain tokens I know can be like that.  The [BODY] token in creature definitions is a big one, as it can take any number of body part definitions.  There's also the [TL_COLOR_MODIFIER] token in creatures, which will take any number of possible colors. (e.g. [TL_COLOR_MODIFIER:GREEN:1] or [TL_COLOR_MODIFIER:GREEN:1:BLUE:1:BLACK:1])

Most syndrome tokens [CE_*] have several optional arguments, such as END:<number>, BP:<bodypart>:<tissue>, and the SIZE_DILUTES, RESISTABLE, and similar tags.  I can't think of any other tokens with varying numbers of arguments at the moment, but there may be some more.

Thanks, that's exactly what I was looking for!

Now a question of terminology.  In a raw file that looks like this:

"ITEM" is commonly referred to as the object's "type" on the wiki, but I haven't seen a term for the "ITEM_PANTS" part.  I've been referring to this in code as the object's "sub-type".  Is that the correct term for this, or is there a more commonly used word to refer to this string?

Actually, I think ITEM_PANTS is considered the type.  ITEM seems to be closer to a "supertype" or something.  With other raw definitions, such as creatures, you put [OBJECT:CREATURE] at the top and then [CREATURE:<whatever>] at the beginning of the definition, so the type name is used in both instances.  With items, however, you have to put [OBJECT:ITEM] at the top and [ITEM_<something>:<whatever>] at the beginning of the definition.  Further supporting this is that when tokens ask for an item as an argument, they usually ask for them in the format ITEM_PANTS:ITEM_PANTS_PANTS, never specifying the ITEM part.  This is unique among item definitions, I think. Every other definition type seems to use the type name as the argument for the OBJECT token.

This is all just speculation on my part, however.

The language files seem to do it also.  Can you mix types within the same file?

You can't mix most types.  Items are, again, an exception.  Since they're all under the "supertype" ITEM, they can be mixed.  This is according to the wiki, since I haven't modded very many items myself.  I think I might have done it with a previous mod, but I don't have it anymore to check.

I will test this on my mod and report the findings.

ITEM:ITEM_TYPE it is btw. First that it is an item, then what the item is. Next one would be material type, last one is the actual material.

EDIT: Oh, and I do request a feature: Read out inorganic materials and make them sortable by different  tags/values. Very important to find out which metal is better for blunt or edged, and so forth.

And you, bradley, should maybe set another default folder for it, since it shows your full name.

EDIT2: Cant open my raw folder, but it is heavily modded anyway. Get a crash instantly

Your wish is my command! It needs a bit of work obviously, but it was pretty easy.

*EDIT*
Now with sortable columns...  Which was WAY more complicated than I was expecting.  It involved typing stuff like this:
Quote
Dim orderByExpression As Expression(Of Func(Of List(Of T), IEnumerable(Of T))) = Expression.Lambda(Of Func(Of List(Of T), IEnumerable(Of T)))(Expression.[Call](orderByMethod, New Expression() {sourceParameter, propertySelectorLambda}), sourceParameter)
