Create-a-Career : Looking for beta-testers
Hello all, I've made a web-based tool to help modders in the creation of custom careers, it's available at http://www.simneia.fr Here are the main features so far : - Create rabbit hole careers...

I used the tool yesterday and made a complicated career based on Hogwarts Staff.
I'm an experienced Beta Tester. My initial thoughts:
Really cool interface. Very good resource for the community. I love the icon and image upload part too.
I followed the tutorial about it from MTS.
The user interface would do better with more intuitive inputs. For example, when editing the individual job levels, the save button is below the objective input that changes the page, losing all the data inputted if you didn't save first.
The Objective input is a little too separate and the reloads seem like too much.
A save with a return button included would also save some clicks and bandwidth.
The ability to click and rearrange jobs would be very helpful. There's no way to reorder the job levels if you forgot one or want to move them to a different track.
There is one area on the edit job level that says "How much the performance bar will progress through a work day, starts around 60 and ends around 10 in game, depending on the level". Did you mean 60 to 100? Or 10 to 60?
Exporting the career is a little confusing. I wasn't sure what to do after clicking on export since it didn't seem like anything was happening. I ended up going to the first Create page and downloading it from there, which gave me an old version, I think.
There need to be warnings on the text box to not use / slashes or other weird markups or it messes up the name and text of the job level. I tried to list a website source for my Hogwarts careers since I copy and pasted text from various wikis but I think it messed the job levels up, showing a black nothing where the name and text is supposed to be.
All in all just a few minor things. :)
But for a free, fan based program, it is fantastic! Well done.
