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?

I found a bug. I opened the components.txt file, hit the 'go to' button, hit 'cancel' and got the following error:

run-time error '13'
type mismatch

Well which data files are you referring too? (if you mean like empiretypes.txt and such, those are formated completly differently then others, so we'll need different load routines).

Ok some of the cancel's will give you errors, but the program should still run fine hehe

I didn't have any particular file in mind, I just noticed that your website listed fewer data files than actually exist.

The editor is a lot more efficient than using wordpad or some other program. Thank you for the effort.

Yeah just to clarify, all the data files not listed, are generally ones that just list names (ship names, emperor names, empire types, etc).

We haven't even looked at the AI files yet, so I don't know what those are like
