A Request for Tool Modders

[Hakuryu]

I really hate the texture browser in Doom 3, and am guessing Quake Wars will be similar.

Would it be possible to create a Tool that automatically perused all the .mtr files and created a web-page like application that would let you browse all textures and models? Basically I want a editor-seperate way to peruse all textures in a thumbnail like format, instead of manually clicking on every name in the folder tree to find a specific texture (or model) like I have to with Doom 3.

Sort of like an Undox for textures/models. Undox made an offline website for all the scripting syntax straight out of Unreal Tournaments files.

Thoughts?

I had some script for parsing def files, parsing .mtr files shouldn't necessarily be harder.
The only problem you will most likely run into is opening .tga and .DDS files.

Apart from that, jRAD has put some tremendous in revamping the Doom 3 editor, so it seems you can already browse the thumbnails. Have a look at this screen from dev blog #5 (http://media.pc.gamespy.com/media/748/748377/img_4374523.html).
