Modding: Custom component Groups, vehicle sizes, and other problems

P1- That will not work. Requirements set a percent you need per ship (like Carriers & fighter bays). You also cannot just add new entries into item lists, because the code won't even attempt to figure them out...

P2- I don't use this so I can't help there...

P3- such things did happen on certain computers, because of graphics glicthes but I don't believe it was something that had anything to do with modding text files...

I dunno about 1 or 2, but the answer to #3 seems to be that it's caused when you add an extra blank line in the data file between items. Atleast, that was the case with me. I accidently added one, and I got that black map. Then I took it out, and it was fixed.
