Default Editting Empire Files

Quite simply ... how is it done? I notice the EMP files are incompatible with text editors (Wordpad, Notepad, and Word/Works, at least). Is there a proggie floating around out there that can be used to do it?

You can edit them from inside SE4 by loading it and then hitting the edit button

Let me be a bit more specific, then. What about editting the 'points' one has to spend on traits and such? The maximum is 5000. Is that hardcoded, or can it be changed?

It checks them as it loads them anyway. It still has to add up.

So no going over 5000 points?

Your starting points are hardcoded (0, 2k, 3k, 5k). But if you wanted to, you could reduce the costs of the characteristics (in settings.txt) and the cost of the Advanced Traits (in RacialTraits.txt).

As always, backup any files you alter. You won't be able to play in multiplayer games with altered files.
