[RMXP] PROJECT SCANNER

Remember the Event Search command in RM2K3 that would search through your whole project and find references to things? That's not around anymore, sadly, so I'm building a simple tool that will scan your project for specific references. It's still a work in progress, because I'm decoding stuff as I go along, but so far it supports searching for Add Item (where does your party get a MacGuffin added to their inventory?), Set Variable (how does the MacGuffin quest progression go again?), and Teleport To Map (how do I get to the MacGuffin Tomb?) commands. More will be added as time goes by.

It's useful for developers trying to quickly make sense of logic spread across a few hundred maps, or for frustrated players who can't make heads or tails of the quest they're on. (As long as the player has the project source and a copy of RMXP, of course; the data it comes up with is useless without the editor.)

I've posted it over at http://rpgmaker.net/engines/rmxp/utilities/87/ so have a look and let me know what you think. :)

the inevitable VX Ace version. ;)

It's on the to-do list. I have a copy of VX Ace, but I haven't looked at the file formats. If they're similar enough, it should be really simple to convert the code for this, and maybe even put it all in the same tool.

There's not likely to be a VX version unless someone contributes to the project, though, either by writing up the necessary code themselves or buying me a copy of VX, because I skipped that version of RPG Maker. :P

Boo. It's a CLR language that feels a lot like Python at first glance, but with static types and strong metaprogramming support. (Macros, AOP, etc. as built-in language features.)
