The items issue hasn't been much of a problem for me since I can copy what's on the map, create a savegame and edit the item, than inject that savegame data into the main folder so changes are permanent (like making mithril armor have Intelligence requirements, or creating starting gear that the game can't change into broken/wrecked/destroyed/cracked or worn gear).
Doing this allowed me to bypass the items problem in the editor and have finished ADDM v1.2. this will be the last update of ADDM for quite a while since there is very little more I can do or add without scripting.
Anyway if you want more spotlight on your mod tools, I can create a reddit account and announce your tools and my mod on there to drum up more interest quicker. If you need more time to work on your mod tools before I post on reddit, I can wait until you are ready to receive more attention if you still need the time.
