Sorry Guys. Too busy on other stuff.
VS 2013 Project here for download if anybody wants to complete it.

Hi guys. I am making a Mod Maker for Rimworld. At the moment it is very bare, You can simply create a new mod and it will create the Folder Structure and the About.xml for you without errors. At the moment it is useful only to get the mod Directories, Textures and About.xml set up. I will be adding more to the project as time goes by.

The main goal of this program is to make modding fast and painless. I know you can lose a lot of time trying to fix your mod when the solution was just a miss-named folder. This program is here to fix that. Give it a try.

My 1st goal is to get a simple structure in the game just like the 1st tutorial on the Rimworld Wiki page.

Installation: Simply place the program where you want. It will create a tiny Settings file.. so maybe a special folder is a good place for it.

Usage: Drag and Drop Images into Tree Structure in Textures to add textures to mod. Right click on Nodes to add folders or directories or delete unwanted textures.

Don't worry I'll add an update soon, the next version will feature drag and drop with images into planned directory folders and the beginnings of a simple DefThings in xml.

hehe, same for me.

I have the beginning of a research mod tool done, btw.  Next I plan on adding the ability to edit the research tree directly (creating/deleting links) where it can output the resultant xml for you.
