Current Status

This project is under active development. While some features may not yet be fully supported or fully compliant with AEF standards, improvements are ongoing.

Features

• Web version for easy access
• Load and save object pools from/to files
• Navigate through the object pool tree
• Use hyperlinks to navigate to referenced objects
• Render active mask and current selection in a preview window
• Limit selecting macro's and object references to allowed types only.

What's Next

The list below outlines some of the features and improvements that are planned to be implemented in the future. The order is a good indication of the priority.

• Add the remaining objects for configuration and rendering.
• Display a preview of the active soft key mask.
• Allow changing VT version and adjust object pool configuration/rendering accordingly.
• Implement the ability to give objects custom names.
• Add a colour picker for colour attributes.
• Add a search bar to quickly find objects.
• Show a pop-up when creating a new object for initial configuration.

If you have any suggestions or would like to contribute, feel free to open an issue or submit a pull request!

Supported Objects

The lists below only apply to version 3 of the VT specification. There are 3 stages of development for each object: Not Started [ ⚪ ], In Progress [ 🟡 ], and Completed [ 🟢 ]. Open an issue if you would like to prioritize a specific object, or even better, submit a pull request to help implement it!
