Modders: Text File Editor

Tampa_Gamer · #1 January 24th, 2001, 12:39 AM

To see what "tracking changes" looks like, take a look over in the scenario/mod download section. I posted some "blackline" (i.e. comparison) copies of the data and ai files when the 1.19 patch came out to give people an ideal of what types of changes were made. Of course, I think you need to have Word to use those files. . .Oh well.

Well I do have access to Word, just never heard/used that feature

Is it in all Versions? I have access to '97 here, just don't have it.

For those who care

You can try out the first Version of the editor at http://www.mystaria.com/seiv

Its no where near being done, but we do enjoy sleep as much as the next person

IMPORTANT NOTE! Right now you can't add new abilites and such.

Number of Abilities := 1

If you change this to 2, it won't work in SEIV, since you can't add those new parts right now

SirDarwin-

I have '97 too. Go to "Tools" then choose "Track Changes" then choose "Compare Documents" This should bring up a prompt as to which document to compare to the one you already have loaded. Depending on your "options" choices, it should double underline additions and strike through deletions.

I like the editor. It makes finding componets etc... a lot easier. Good job to all that worked on it!

whoohoo feedback

hehe

Yeah at first we only had the editor with next and prev, with no lookup for items...needless to say when you have like 100+ in a file, it can get boring, the goto is a nice feature, if you know where a certain item is

What keeps the editor from reading the remaining data files?
