PyMS

PyMS is a cross platform BroodWar modding suite written using Python. PyMS contains 15 programs to edit most of the file types you will encounter while modding. This modding suite was originally created by poiuy_qwert and has since been maintained by Neiv, iquare, Veeq7, DarkenedFantasies, and Pr0nogo. This repository is home to the final updates the suite will see from us before a new modding suite enters development.
