The Validator - Find errors quickly and with minimal pain!

It would be great if you could port this to Mono. Now it shows this:

Mono JIT compiler version 2.10.8.1

At least command-line tool (I think Linux users would be fine with it

).

I am currently working on a new version of the Validator. It will not initially support either Ck2 or Eu4, but eventually it may do so. (Is Eu4 out yet? Do I need to make a validator for that?)

The current Validator will continue to be developed with bug fixes and stuff as necessary, and will probably be used for Eu4 since the new one won't be ready for a bit.

Why? Basically, in the current Validator, I often want to do something, but the architecture makes it really difficult to do. Changing it is immensely difficult and leads to misery. So it's easier to start over with a clean slate.

The new Validator will have a CLI that supports popular OSes, and likely a GUI that won't work on all popular OSes.

So, what are your top features of the Validator that you use, or that you'd want. I need to know what is most important to people and get those set up first. Examples include: a GUI, non-Windows support, Windows support, comment metadata, helpful error correction + suggestion, errors that go to the file directly, and whatever you want.

I think it is important to note that CKII is by far the most popular CKII game out (the CKII Wiki gets more traffic than my other 4 wikis combined), so it would be wise to ensure it works with it.

As to features:
A basic GUI is important (though I can personally handle a command line just fine, I'd prefer a GUI)
Windows support. The other OSes is not a priority to me, though I imagine people who use them would rather like that

If most/all errors can go to the appropriate line in the for the relevant mod file that'd be great, yeah

Beyond that the most important thing to me is really just clear, understandable error messages. If I can't figure out what the Validator is actually reacting to it isn't particularly helpful. The current version handles this nicely though.
The automatic correction feature is not something I've ever used. I prefer fixing errors manually in nearly all cases.

Can't think of anything important beyond that.

The Validator is supposed to show the error if either of the duplicates are found in a mod. Since if your mod conflicts with vanilla, you should probably fix your mod. Or do you mean that vanilla files that are overwritten by files in the mod still show up?

The latter. These are the localisations, which haven't shown up before when it was set to "show mod errors", at least not for me.

Hmm, and in your mod folder you have files called "localisation\SwordOfIslam.csv", "localisation\text1.csv", etc?

hm ok that's weird no I don't. Strange because I didn't get those particular conflicts before. Wonder if some file names changed? Ah well.
