KQ2Tool is, um, a tool for manipulating .kq2 files. This is its official home page. Exciting, huh?
Slightly more seriously, the program is designed to plug a few of the gaps in the level editor for Kyle's Quest 2 from Crimson Fire Entertainment, an RPG engine for Palm and PocketPC. The editor is functional, but lacks creature comforts, particularly regarding the organisation of the various items that make up a level. Not anticipating a new version of the editor any time soon, I decided to add copy, move, delete and find functionality myself. (Later: there has been a new editor since then, and some of the features of KQ2Tool have been added, but not all of them.)
The latest addition, as of version 0.97, is text import and export of scripts. It's still very early in development, but it seems to be functional, and opens up the possibility of doing some work on the Palm itself, among other things.
Also, since the site has moved to roomier hosting, I'm going to keep a few previous versions available for download, starting with 0.96.
