However - there are 1 or 2 minor points:

1) - Master Computer. Damage resistance is shown to decrease from lvl1 - lvl3 (40-20). Shouldn't it be the other way 'round or as the others - the same for each lvl?

2)- Ion Engines. Movement bonus (none) is in red at the bottom of the list. The rest of the engine variants show the Movement bonus at the top of the list. For consistancy'e sake I think MB should be either at the top or bottom in all cases.

Glad you like it. Both of those 2 points are really just based on the values in the components.txt file. That's just the way Master computers are. Beats me why. The same goes with the engines. The abilities are just listed in the order they are found in the file. The reason it is shown as red for the description is that the movment bonus for the Ion engine has no description in the components.txt file. The fact that it is shown red as opposed to just leaving it blank is really just some left over code from when the program was just a viewer and the desc was all you would see. I'll probably remove that from future Versions.

"That's just the way Master computers are. Beats me why."

Because the *size* goes down. The first one is 40kt, 40 damage resistance, and it goes down to 20/20.

Ah! So! Silly me! Of course!

A little feature the utility could use... a selector to pick whether you want to use new sounds or classic sounds; also it doesn't play sounds that are in the mod directory...

Huh? New and classic sounds?? The reason it does not read the sounds from the mod directory is because I though I'd read somewhere in this forum that the game did not read sounds from there?? If this is incorrect I will change it.

There's a toggle in the game options that controls whether classic or new sounds are used. No need to go editing the components every time you want to use one set or the other.

Ahh Cool. thus explaining the 'new' directory in the sounds directory.

OT - Does anyone remember the good old days when you could double click a .wav file and it would just play and whatever program played it would just go away or be invisible instead of bringing up a window demanding you register or poping an add in your face. (kind of like the play button in SE4 modder ) Any tips on helping me recapture these glory days would be appreciated.
