Now that I have the basics of the Con­tent Browser com­pleted, there are 2 direc­tions that I can poten­tially go:

1) con­tinue to sim­ply flesh out the ‘end-user’ browser, namely adding the actual object load­ing & inter­face for view­ing the 3d objects them­selves, or
2) flesh out the con­tent browser inter­face so that it becomes an actual ‘weapon admin’ inter­face that i can then use to input the var­i­ous pieces of infor­ma­tion required for each weapon.

Basi­cally the con­tent browser, from the pure data sense of things, is done. how­ever, there remains a lot of pure data entry for me to be able to actu­ally get all of the weapon con­fig files setup and ready for use. #2 would aid me in this process, in that it becomes not only a ‘viewer’ for the data, but also a use­able admin inter­face that I can then use for future weapons and to get me up to speed with the var­i­ous weapons that I still need to cre­ate con­fig files for.
