WoW - Creature Creator ------------------------- By: Allstar The idea:
The idea came from a thread I saw here recently, also named creature creator. So I thought it was like the Spore creature creator with a 3d preview and stuff. But when I opened the thread I saw this simple and incomplete program. You couldn't even adjust the creature's level or health etc. You could only add the same creature multiple times. But then I asked myself "why would you want to create 20x the same creature in your DB?! you can just spawn them multiple times..". And so I decided to create a "proper" Creature Creator, one that is worthy of it's name.
The concept:
I wanted to create a good looking creature creator with a 3d preview like wowhead without opening your internet browser and checking whether you like the model or not. Also a usefull X-perl like unitframe will show you the details in the application to help you design your creature. There will also be an option to adjust the SQL query you created to finetune your creature.
Another feature is the loading of a .csv file. The file is used by WoW modelviewer. It's called "npcs.csv" put it in the program's data folder and the program will read it for you and show you the 3d preview.
The 3d preview is powered by wowhead. You can choose either Flash or javascript. My program utilizes the firefox engine to load the 3d preview. Way better then the built-in sucky IE browser. 
And one of the main features: Embedded SQL connection. No more copy/pasting your SQL query. everything will be done for you.
But enough with the chatter, this is just WIP (Work in Progress) and I'd like to hear what you guys think. Could this be the next-gen application for private servers? Or just a waste of my time?
Preview:
A few screenshots, that's all I have for now.

Oh, and in the creature photo thingy, which is empty now. Could you add a moving Creature? |

UPDATE:
I've programmed my own HTTP request, and in result the viewer is much faster. Unfortunately the java option doesn't work now. I'll fix this as soon as possible.
I'm also working on a list of factions.

By using my own http thingy I created a few bugs. It loads much faster now, but sometimes creatures are unable to load. In that case, press the "Loading error!" button to fix it. Also, creatures with a number in their name can not be viewed at the moment. I hope I'll be able to fix the pesky bug.
Also added a new screen showing the new modelviewer.
