Contribute
You can contribute just by reporting any bug you find in the dumper/injector/editor. Any help will be appreciated.
I'm also looking for a list of all available acres, in order to paint rivers, ponds and pavement, but that sounds hard though.
We are also still missing some items/flags in the list. If you find a
? icon in the editor, please post it here along the exact item description you've found.
Future
The RAM dump includes a lot of information, things like building placement, grass wear, room furniture, patterns... can be edited.
However, my free time is limited and I don't think I'll be adding those features for now. The editor is opensource since is just simple HTML+JS. Anyone is free to take it and improve it as long as they keep credit to the original work. If you made important changes or improvements, please post them here or PM me, I can host them for you if you need it.
