Just checking...do you make allowances for abilities which have more than one use? I.e., the component repair for components and facilities? Or do you need to turn filtering off for that?

Yea. I added lines to the txt file that say for example "Type := Component, Facility". Values can be Component, Facility, or System. For vehicles I assumed that if it works on a Component it works on a Vehcile.

DavidG,
What does the "Use new sounds" actually do? Weapons components spedify a sound file, so by selecting "Use new sounds" is it going to a different directory?

I really like the program, I tend to make all the changes with vi, but the total cumulative cost and the leads to list really help when trying to get an overview or balance things.

Yup that is it exactly. If you look in the SE4 sounds directory you'll see another folder called 'New' with a similarly named set of wave files. Somewhere in the game there is a setting that lets you use the new sounds. No matter which you use the components.txt file will be the same.

The new sounds are much better.

Each weapon has a distinct sound (including small weapons), and I think they are at a higher sample rate, too. The only bad sound is the plasma torp in my install--I saved something else over it, and now it's the old standard CSM sound.

Not worth a full reinstall.

Dan C. I think I realises now why you wondered what the 'Use New Sounds' option does. Because in Version 1.60 it does nothing. DOH! I think I must have somehow broke this feature in ver 1.60

< Edit > Correction it does nothing if you are viewing the stock files. It works when viewing a mod

I just posted something on another thread about the SEModder too. My question is are you going to develop an updated Version, 1.60 has been out for some time and was it ever designed to work with gold? I had to stop using it becouse of the number of crashes and errors it kept having when I was working on my Personal Mod.
