Editing Tools

Some tools may be useful for editing or providing image content for the site.

• For editing large and complex sections of wiki code (such as large tables with many CSS style tags), it can sometimes be easier to copy the code into an editor like Notepad++, where that editor's advanced features can be used, such as find/replace, and then copy the code back into the wiki edit box.
• PicPick is a screen grabbing program that has the ability to grab just a section of the screen, and it includes a basic image editor.
• Most image content for the site though should be sourced from the game files where possible, to ensure that eg. captures semi-transparent image do not show a background. The game data can be extraced using this method, and then a program like XnView can be used to browse the images, which are in .blp format. blp2png can then be used to convert them to a format compatible with use on the web.
