Hey everyone, I created something unusual and wanted to share.This is a Perfect World editor that can be accessed as a web page. It's available here:

. There's also a WIP guide right here:

(Give the editor a minute to load some assets on the first load, there's about 20MB to be fetched in the background first)
The editor is only a tip of the iceberg. Basically, a couple of friends and I are creating this new, but old-school 1.3.6 server that's meant to be continuously updated by the community. Quoting from our main page (

): The idea is that a community member makes changes in the editor, then with a single click of a button publishes those to broader audience. Next, the changes are discussed on the forums and eventually, when approved by the administrator, they land directly in game.
Using the editor doesn't require any technical knowledge. It's meant to be very user-friendly. We have a test server up and running and we're able to make changes in the editor, then see them in game within like a minute. There's a client-side launcher that downloads all latest changes into everyone's game. As of today, the following can be modified:
- NPCs - their name, location, the goods they're selling and their offered crafts
- Particular recipes with probabilities for up to 4 different target items crafted with up to 8 materials
- Items -> their name, icon, price, as well as all other properties. E.g. wing speed, Tisha stone refine chances, or charm capacity (everything except weapons and armors can be modified - those two will come later)
[*]Every item/NPC can be cloned, searched, removed. There's an option to create your custom, handy lists. Recently used ones are nicely listed as well
[*]There's full history of your work -> Every 5 minutes your changes are sent to the server and any of them can be rolled back
[*]In the editor you can see all changes made by others that were approved and merged
I have just finished coding the backend for quest parsing, so a quest editor should pop up within the upcoming days as well.
We also have a discord channel (link on the website's top menu). Cheers! :
