Modders - Need a Data Format Checker?

[Wenin]

JonMacLeod, I noticed that you have over 41,000 lines of data in your components file for your Imperium Verus Mod (Great Mod BTW). How did you make sure that all that data was in the proper format, that everything was properly referenced? I've found that the Component Editor .90 chokes on a Components file that is misformatted.

To all Modders

Do you find your data to be improperly formatted at times?

Do you find that you've said that a component has 3 Tech Reqs, but in fact it has 2 or 4?

Have you found that you set a Tech Level Req higher what is possible?


I've only began getting into the modding of SEIV and was wondering if this is common place in the community. I'm building a Data Integrity checker that will analyze the Components, Abilities, and TechArea file.


Does the Abilities.txt file actually change? I guess abilities can be removed from the list, but certainly nothing can be added. Right?

Thanks
