Tribal IDE A program that can be used to view and edit files for Tribes 2, however I have discovered that it also works for SEIV.
I opened the component file with it, and it breaks everything down and color codes items that can be edited. I thought it made the editing process a tad more simple. Try and see for your self.
IMPORTANT
Read the Readme that is inclosed.
It will explain how to open SEIV files instead of the defualt Tribes files.
