modding question

[tonedog]

i wish to make some changes to the faction standing file but notice it isnt in the data folder of the major mod im playing, i assume the mod maker hasnt made any changes to it.

is it a simple matter of copying the file from another mod into the data folder then running the mod or is it more complex? is so how is it done?

Yes, it should be that simple. Note that you probably launch the mod with a batch file that uses some additional prefrences file. Edit the batch file and see which ",cfg" file it uses. Open that file and make sure it has a bit of text that looks like what is below,

file_first = true

It probably already has that, but just make sure
