Hello everyone, I'm ByteSquire or Zaphodgame,
I'm excited to finally be active on the Titan Quest fans forum.

I've played Titan Quest since the release of IT and always come back to it every once in a while, especially when new mods or official content releases.

Some of you may already know me from a variety of Discord channels or have visited the mastery calculator I've developed a couple of years ago.
I am currently working on even more tools for Titan Quest:

• A parsing library written in C# for parsing .tpl and .dbr files into usable data structures
• A wrapper library written in C# for using the official ArchiveTool distributed with the game and reading(WIP)/writing of .arz archives for the game's database
• A mastery mod for the game (very WIP)
• A replacement? for the ArtManager distributed with the game

I'm most excited about the Editor, with the recent release of the Godot 4 beta I have been looking forward to a nice GUI application project and with the support of multiple windows the time of waiting is over.



I know this will be a bit of a controversial move as I'm not creating anything new or particularly useful(for now) and there are plenty of tutorials for creating mods for Titan Quest and using the ArtManager and the other tools.
But I personally was always a bit disappointed by the ArtManager with it's old design, no way of validating data (that I know of), awful directory tree view and mediocre editors for values.
I also think it is very hard to get into as a beginner, part of that is due to the design of the database but I think there is a lot of room for improvement.

I love the idea of having a couple of modern toolkits that are open source and, therefore, easier to maintain for longer or by different people.

I am always searching for someone who would like to contribute anything, be it code, editor plugins/extensions, documentation, wiki, ideas, etc.
Or just using and giving feedback on anything is also appreciated, one person can only test so much and have one opinion.
