GUI previewer

[Tuathanach]

I am sure this has been suggested before and not sure if this is the right place (or whether it should be in wishlist).

Is it possible for someone to develop a GUI Previewer so that when making an new skin it is possible to quickly preview what it is going to look like without having to login to planeshift, or have a "reload Gui/skin" button in planeshift would also be fine. If this was developed it would make creating skins much easier and therefore give more choice to players.

It would also be nice to have  a utility that could preview what a texture would look like on an object Ie a new kran skin, or even something small like changing the texture of a stone or a quench tank. This might also encourage people to apply to join the art team

there is an app called pawseditor [which does not edit anything] that can be used for such purposes it has to be built and is not in the release client. if you are on the dev team or a prospect you can ask for such to be built for your os by a dev. All the app does is give you the ability to reload the gui element with any skin and without reloading the whole app on changes to the gui element.

the app for viewing meshes is called viewmesh an app from CS and same as above it has to be built or can be obtained once on the team.

well you can build it yourself. you have to follow the standard compiling guide for psclient but in place of doing jam client you have to do jam pawseditor. in msvc project files pawseditor is available only on dynamic builds

Is it possible to enable / add commands "/reloadgui", "/reloadskins" "/reloadart"  as this would also solve problem without third party programs and no extra compiling/installing required

if it was that easy it would ingame already
