TechTree Viewer

[bohemond]

As the name suggests this tool can be used to view/check the techtree. It directly parses the rule files, so if there is a missing/superfluous dependency or something, you can see it there. You just go to File->Import->OpenXCom Research and select the game's folder.

It is based on a normal graph-making tool that is still fully functional and can be used to build all sorts of graphs.

The source is on GitHub: https://github.com/bohemond-of-antioch/OpenXcom-TechTreeViewer
A compiled version for windows is attached.

It's VB.NET again, I apologize to the linux users in advance.

I made the configuration file a yaml as that's a format everyone here should be familliar with. A few things can be configured there, mostly colors.

I'm releasing this under Creative Commons Zero.

I can have configs not only in user folder, but also in user documents folder (default option for OXCE), so your tool is not working for my installation...

Yes, I had a feeling this would be a problem.
Somehow I hoped everybody just used the local folder, I guess I'll have to account for it after all. It shouldn't be that hard I suppose.

EDIT: Already fixed (I hope), it really wasn't that hard. I shouldn't have been lazy and should have done it properly the first time.

I am still getting exceptions. Can you show how this tool should be used if i have mods installed to documents? Looks like it fails because i dont have "standard" folder there
