First of all, do all the fields displayed in WDump together account for all the data in a w3d file?
|
No, there are chunks that wdump doesn't understand.

Regardless, I think it would be very handle of WDump allowed fields to be modified. This would be especially useful for w3ds where the source is no longer available.
|
Yes, it would be, but changing WDump itself is highly unlikely (no source code, no prior code work done inside, and it's MFC based using Visual Studio 6)

Lastly, I remember two tools, w3d2xml and w3dxml that seem to export a subset of the data w3d like WDump, and the rest as binary blobs. Could that XML import-export functionality be integrated into WDump? except that all fields were imported/exported?

I wrote those, and don't understand w3d files beyond a superficial "they are chunked files" sort of way. You could run them on objects.ddb and get much the same output. They are only really useful for isolating specific chunks inside a chunked file for additional editing.
