Modders: Text File Editor

[Baron Munchausen]

The most important thing for a "mod editor" is that it do the CONSISTENCY checks for you. Spiffy looking forms are nice but hardly worth the trouble when you've got notepad, wordpad, and probably several full-blown word processors on any decent PC these days. Specialized abilities to suit the task of editing SE IV data files is what will make it worthwhile. Are the Roman Numeral values in sequence for all components in a set/tech field? Are the settings for number of abilities consistent with the ACTUAL number of abilities for each component? Etc. It can be really tedious to have to edit, save, load SE IV, quit because of error, edit, save, load SE IV, quit because of error... A custom editor should save us from that cycle.
