I'd love to have an app (say made with Python) that can create/edit/import and export characters into a previously started game. This way you could use 4 player mods on the campaign and everyone could customize or even carry over their character from a previous game.

I don't have experience with programming but I'd imagine this would be fairly simple. What the app would do:

* load a previously saved game file and list current heroes and companions
* be able to select any character and modify appearance/stats/inventory using drop down menus and a text parser (example for inventory you'd have a text box with potion1, boots2, etc and it would add those items between commas)
* create a new hero. Go through the creation just like in-game but without pictures. Drop downs for hair, face, sex, skin color, etc. then be able to stet starting stats and skills.
* export hero to saved game, picking a character slot and replacing it.

Anyone think this is possible?

Many non-programmers say that smile reality is often different. I'm not saying this would be difficult to do, it's hard to tell right now.

Yeah but I do have some PHP experience and all this sounds like is data stripping and parsing. All it needs is a GUI to wrap it.
