pretenders .2h file specification

Ah, so it is a different program, but has the same functionality like the catgod program, plus editing and saving your pretender god. This is the first time I ever saw anything about this, though. It seems to me like you're the only person knowing it.

I guess there are a number of people that would be interested in a tool like this. To edit pretender gods is really a feature that the game is missing. Fun trivia: did you know that there's code inside the game to load and edit pretender gods that you already made? It's just not active. Maybe it's from Dom:PPP days and never got included again?

Well, since Dom3 has pretender saving and loading, if you use the pretender creator in game tools, I suspect that it probably isn't just latent code. Unless it pertains to editing pretenders mid-game, or something. But since the newlords files aren't checked after a game starts, that would seems pointless.

Except that the Pretender Creator Tool only saves, you cannot load and modify a pretender file that you previously made through the tool.

I'd really like if you could modify saved pretenders..... Testing one and then finding you want to make ONE change, it's frustrating.

As I wrote before: The functionality is already in there in the game. But the GUI offers no way of accessing it that way.
