Hey! Six Shooter is a new graphical front-end to Invader as well as a configurable method for launching invader-edit-qt.

It currently features tag extraction, map building, tag editing, and bludgeoning (fixing tags). More tools are planned to be supported by this, such as invader-sound (makes sound tags), invader-bitmap (makes bitmap tags), invader-font (makes font tags), and so on. I just wanted to get something working for now.


Here is a screenshot of the tag extractor.

Here's the bludgeoner. This is useful for fixing some invalid tags that have errors that Invader (and sometimes other tools) may catch.

Here is map building with settings that persist after you close the application. invader-build does a more thorough job of checking for errors than tool.exe, and the errors it reports are easier to understand (or, in some cases, actually POSSIBLE to understand). You can also see the dark theme, too!

Here's tag editing. This utilizes invader-edit-qt, which is one of the fastest tag editors available. This BSP tag is one of the biggest tags in the game, and it took only a second to open.

For Windows users, it is now included with the nightly builds of Invader, which you can get here: https://invader.opencarnage.net/builds/nightly/download-latest.html

You can also clone the repo and build from source. Here's the repository: https://github.com/SnowyMouse/six-shooter

edit: added links for the full-sized images
edit: added dark theme screenshot (can be enabled via Windows 10's personalization settings)
edit: fixed a big and remade the 80 character screenshot
