Esf Editor 1.4.3

[erasmus777]

something like this?

Yes, that's similar to what I had in mind.

It might be useful to have patcher behaviour available for an ESF editor. That way, if you change small things in startpos.esf the mod users wouldn't have to download the whole file but could just run the patcher version on their startpos. I guess the best way would be to create the additional entries as XMLs and then patch them in using the program (you'd need some special behaviour for removing stuff).

Alternatively, for more user friendliness, the ESF editor could allow creating patch scripts between two different esfs.

Good idea
for now you can export any node to new esf file (right click on node - Export)
user still must copy, but file is smaller

i'm thinking about comparing files,

for now in next version - 1.5
- reduced memory usage while coping big parts
- added the posibility of describing nodes
- added "goto" function
you can paste a node path like: CAMPAIGN_SAVE_GAME/CAMPAIGN_ENV /CAMPAIGN_MODEL/WORLD/REGION_MANAGER/ and tree expand
- added find value option
search esf file and present all founded values
with this you can search any references for id, etc.
and of course you can edit this result set

I plan release 1.5 in next weekend

in 1.6 - maybe patcher

Wow... with the new one it ing owns.... i copied the world over... and now i have greece as a starting faction...

Now if only i could figure out how to make it so that A) we can change the year back to 1700.... and stop everyone from doing anything for a few turns to get several faction emgered...

[alpaca]

Sounds good

One thing we also desperately need is a "create new ID" feature. It should make sure it knows all the ids in the game and then generate a new one (for slots, etc.)

Game crushes after any editing of regions.esf. Even if I return original values.

Excuse me for my bad English.

Can anyone confirm this?

[Lissindiel]

Hmm... Strange. Everything is OK now, but earlier i`ve got 4 crushes...

[gigabayt]

Excellent job!

But I want the feature Search. Insteed of looking in every ing folder, you can just search for you faction or id nr. It would make things so much easier

[Irmo]

Lissindiel - I had this problem as well. It seems to crop up when you try to save a file when there is more than one edited file open. The easy solution is to edit one at a time, and save it before editing the next.

Can anyone confirm this?

I have this problem as well..........
Not even a simple change such as all tech researched.........

[demis14]

I have a suggestion that might have already been pointed out. Is it possible to make a function, that informs the user if a Uint or other values that are usually IDs, conflict with other existing ones? A colouring could be used as well instead of a warning. This would be extremely useful to us i think, because when creating new entries, and new IDs are required, this could help a lot to avoid conflicting with other exisitng IDs.

[Cursisanafou]

no updates to the editor?

[Lazy Knight]

Are you people also unable to C&P files in the new Startpos?

[krait23]

Bump for this so people don't DL the older one and run into problems with savegames like I did...

[CaptainAnthony]

I fixed the problem. Thanks

[Gorrrrrn]

Search function would be most useful.

I've posted a list of data fields in saved games and there's some there that take some tracking down.

eg has anyone found an entry for PORT_GARRISON_MANAGER - it should be near the end of REGIONS_ARRAY but before the SPYING_ARRAY

I've been seaching for the last hour back and forth to get these faction ID's in order, before I start experimenting and labeling everything.
