The Slot Editor - How Do You Use It?
 

I have been trying to figure it out for a while and just cannot seem to.

How do you change decks?
How do you save your changes?

You don't change decks. All the decks are identical.

There is a save option in the file menu.

I discovered that if you save it, you have to cut and paste the information into the file you modding. It seems to work that way.

Did you open the file you want to edit first, or start from scratch? If you open a file first, it will put it in that file. Sadly, it just sticks it at the top, ignoring the previous placement in the file...

I tried to "open" the file first but ended up just doing them one at a time, cutting and pasting the info to a copy of the file. It was my first attempt at using, and or making a ship set for SE V, and this endeavor took all day. Thanks for the help with this modding tool, SJ deserves a round of thanks for making it. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Does the order really make any difference at all?

I think he means for aesthetics(?).

Re: The Slot Editor - How Do You Use It?
 

Yes. It is much easier to find things in the file if they are ordered.

I should also point out that the editor crashes when I hit the close button on XP. It also screws up if I open a second slot layout (in the same file), displaying the slots of the previous layout and the current one, overlayed on each other.

I haven't had it crash and I am using XP. What I am wondering though is why you choose to make the button selection a drop down. It seems that click-able buttons would have been easier. You click the upper row for slot name and bottom row for slot type. The current selected button will then stay highlight till until another button on that row is clicked.
