Component modding tool. Get it here.

First yea when you hit the save button the changes are aplied to the components.txt file and thus into the mod. Yea I do have plans to provide some sort of undo feature. For now if you mess things up look in the data directory for the mod. You will see a couple of extra files. "Components.bak" is a backup of the .txt file that is made when the program is first started. "Components.bk1" is made each time you save. So if you delete the 'componets.txt' file and rename the '.bak' file to '.txt' you will undo all changes since you started the program. Remaming the '.bk1' file will undo the changes for the Last save. To avoid messing things up I'd suggest copy a mod into a new directory or use the handy 'Create new mod' from the file menu. It will copy all the '.txt' data files to a new directory.

You will notice that right now the program can view the vehcile sizes, facilities, and tech areas. I do plan to make these editable too. And yea I did just randomly pick the Norak for a pic for the vehicle sizes part. The reason really was that it was just my intentions to show details about the vehicle size. The pic was just eye candy. But maybe in future Versions...

As far as abilites go I don't think these are editable??? I think they are probably hard coded into the program. Can anyone confirm this?
