Yes I have and it turned out to be an error in the file so the program could not read it.

What was the error and how did you fix it?

First make sure there is exactly one blank line after the "*BEGIN*".

If there are two, you should get no components, but if there are zero, it might complain that it can't read the file.

SJ, pay attention! *slaps ruler on desk*

The problem is Space empires was refusing to admit there even was a components.txt, I'm no newbie here. I found the problem it was in my crystaline armor, don't know what it was though.

"but if there are zero, it might complain that it can't read the file."

Nope.. it loads fine. Of course, you can't DO anything, but it does load.

Can I see the before and after component? I might be able to nail down the exact problem SE4 is choking on.

"The problem is Space empires was refusing to admit there even was a components.txt, I'm no newbie here."
Yeah, I though it might cause that error, but wasn't able to test the theory at the time.

This is a long shot,
When I opened my components.txt it was too big and suggested I use Write.
Acknowledging that you have an advanced proficiency, is it possible that at 1:00 am you accidentally saved it as a “Write” file?
When you edited it again saved perhaps you saved it as a text file?
