Default Re: Need help with modding

Don't underestimate the *usefullness* of that double blank line, either. It's one heck of a help when you're trying to isolate errors. Just double space at a random point in the file (at the end of a component), open up SE4. Does the error still occur? OK then, it must be above the double space.

A few things SE4 doesn't like:
-values for family numbers higher than 65000. Won't load components.txt. Ditto for many other values.
-invalid data, i.e. a letter where it wants a number.

Neither of those will give you a defined error message, just "cannot load components.txt".

Also, beware the unused abilities. Some of them work, some don't. Some- like the Only Boarding Parties targeting- work differently than you'd expect. Test them before you commit to using them.
