PPModd is a project designed for editing DCT4 / TIKU PPM files
its main goal is to edit those PPM files with a simple GUI and no need for
knowledge of the file structure or need to handle other tools.
its a out-of-the-box PPM editor.
initially i intended to distribute it in a commercial way, but now im not sure
if thats the right decision. however, i really appreciate any donation
via paypal, bank transfer or even some hardware!
that PM stuff really was an assload full of work since its sometimes really
tricky. and we're not talking about some nights - its more about some
hundred hours...
well, ok. but the result really is a good thing thanks to TriX' plugin system
and fully based on XML (thx@krisha for your help!). with XML its really flexible
regarding extensions like automated translators or such.
the future of the project is not clear yet. it mainly depends on the response
this test will show up.
if noone cares about PPModd, it will die.
what do i have to do now?
preparation:
1. download http://g3gg0.de/dct4/PPModd.exe
1a. http://g3gg0.de/dct4/TriX_PPModify.zip extract to plugin dir. optional update due to 2610 PPM
2. ask me for a login, since the whole thing is serverbased (only via PM here in GSM-forum)
3. insert that login data into the "trix.ini"
testing:
1. start PPModd.exe
2. place a DCT4 / TIKU PPM file via Drag'n'Drop into the program window - or use file->open
3a. click the TEXT chunk and click the button "Edit content" on the right side
3b. copy chunks via "Copy" into the clipboard (XML data) edit them and paste them via "Paste" again
3c. delete/move chunks
3d. etc etc
4. click "Build PPM" to transfer the XML stuff to the server and wait for the file to get ready
5. save the created PPM
6. flash it?
Known Issues:
- 2610 and mybe others (DCT4Plus) PPM just readable when setting 'plugins.PPModify.ppm_header_ver' to '1' in option dialog
- 2610 and mybe others (DCT4Plus) PPM not buildable yet. build would succeed, but phone may not be able to read that PPM (to be tested)
Limitations:
- each account has to wait some minutes for the file to be created
- there is no guarantee how many files you will be able to create
- i preserve the right to delete accounts which look suspicious
- i preserve the right to cancel the test whenever i wish
- not everyone will get an account. only those who understand to articulate or those who i know...
however, people who sponsored some money or hardware or anything
other useful, wont get deleted so fast.
maybe they dont even have to wait for flashfiles... ;)
