Ask the Experts / Recource Editor

Ok, I'd like to make a version of the object editor that is more *user friendly*. In order to do such, I need a recource editor. It needs to be one that can edit the layouts and captions of the object editor, as well as seperating it into several dialog boxes. Each with a 'next' and 'back' button for step navigation while making your object.

For Example,
Step one: New/Load object. Click next after complete and you will find the next step.
Step two: Select your object's type, subtype, clearnce, and physical composition. Click next after complete and you will find the next step.
Step three: Draw/Load bitmaps. Click next after complete and you will find the next step. etc, etc, etc.

I already tried the programs from "Heaven Tools". Their "PE Explorer" and "Recource Tuner" trails versions don't recognize the Object Editor's dialog box, thus I can't edit its layout. That's strange, It worked when I translated the GUI Editor (JJ beat me to it). I guess it just doesn't like the object editor.

Can anyone with experiance help me find a program that can do these things? I'd stronly preffer it not being a hex editor. Something more legable please.

BTW, If anyone would like to help with this project your more then welcome. Programs Like the object Editor shouldn't need a tutorial. A better layout (with descritpion) is ultimately better.

Great thanks to anyone who can at least help fixing my problem. I've looked everywhere for a program, still nothing.

Thank you very much--I have to get off for now.

the best resource editor is reshack or CFF explorer (I believe it was called like that). but they aren't user friendly. and I doubt what you want can be done with it. to archieve all of your goals you probally need the sourcecode.

The CFF expolorer is perfect, not much different the PE explorer only much better. Thanks guys!
