Weapon family numbers are used to tell the AI which weapon to mount. Family numbers tells the program which component is an upgrade of which.

They aren't related.

The work I have done so far with you editor (not very much) is working out just fine. I can adjust everything I want. After that I just locate and isolated the stuff I need (the weapons I made). This then can later be copied into the components file.
DavidG: I just examined the sulotion you gave me. That's what I meant! Great work!
Does it matter what family number I punch in?
Example: One specific race has 8 weapons and each weapon has 10 levels. Do I give every weapon it's own familynumber or do I give every weapon and every level each own number? Or do I give weapons with the same tech requirements the same familynumber?

Oh DavidG, the startup of you exelent editor is a bit on the slow side. Is that normal, or is it just me? No offense of course.

Timstone: I bumped up one of my old threads called "Component modding tool..." which has some more info on the 2 families.
