Default Mod questions

I've been working on modifying some of the data files... I've done work on: Vehicle Sizes, Components, Component Enhancements, and Research.

Everything was going fine until I decided to re-arrange the Components file. Is this a no-no or something? Problem 1 I noticed...saved games were now incompatible with the new components file. When I loaded a game, my ships had some odd components in them. (For instance, a medium fighter equipped with no engines, but 8 repair bay I's!) Second, when I started a new game, on the second turn (always the second turn), the game would lock up on one of the AI's turns.

I'm in the process of re-installing the game Yes, I did make back-ups of the files I modified, but I want to start from a clean install and copy my new files one at a time until I find the one locking up the system...I *assume* thought that its the Components file.

Also, does anybody have a list of the family numbers of all the different components? I didn't want to duplicate that work if someone had already done it...

Thanks for reading!
