Mod Reports

[Larz]

I have just released the latest version of the dom3editor (a full-featured mod editing tool see http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/showthread.php?t=47490) and was considering another feature to add to the application. I wanted to get some feedback on the usefulness of it.

I had the idea that since I already have a parser that can parse mod files, I could generate reports on those mod files. I had the idea to generate pdf reports on what has changed in a mod. You could get a report on whats changed in the mod from vanilla, or get a report on the changes between different versions of the mod. I wrote up a quick version that would generate the report compared to vanilla and have attached a sample. This is a (very rough) report on CBM1.84 just showing the modified armor. This is just to give you an idea of what I'm talking about.

So, anybody think they would have any use for generating these kinds of reports? What other kinds of things would you like to see?
