Default Re: Modders - Need a Data Format Checker?

I don't know any C++.

My App will have a simple GUI to allow people to create a Family output file which will list all of the components by family so that modders can manually confirm that data.

It may have a few other similiar options.

Thanks for the pointers on why unatainable Components would be made.

Apologies on my poor reading comprehension, Suicide Junkie.

What would be a good standard for spacing? I found 25 to be standard, until I ran into the Optional fields being used in the Imperium Verus Mod. Or would it be fine to allow the User to specify the standard?

I guess if most editors just care about the white space between the field name and := and the space between := and the data, then having it customizable would work.

Again this is my inexperience with working with the various mods and tools made available for this game.

The amount of spaces does not matter to SE4 (so long as it is at least 1). We could standardize all files to 1 more than the longest field name, making every file use the same spacing. I never understood why Aaron didn't do this in the first place.
