New tool

[zoranc]

Hi,

I have attached a new modding tool which can change unit attributes, editing data directrly in the memory. I hope this will enable people who make mods for Supreme Ruler 2020 make new mods faster, because with this tool, there is no need to recompile the CSV files. Just start a new game, start the tool and click on the Load Units button.

This is only a version which can edit units. If there is interest, I can also include building editing. Also, it's a very basic application which doesn't check for invalid entered integer or float values, so be careful. It should work with v.5.3.2 (it works on my PC .

Hope this application will be of use...

Interesting idea.

Question: which file will this tool change? There are 2 parts with the same name, what are they?

All unit and building attributes are stored in the savegame file (initially in the savegame file in the cache dir). So, there are no separate files in which data is stored. That is the reason why you have to recompile the csv files every time you make a modification.

So, to answer your question, it doesn't change a file. It changes only contents in memory, so it only affects your current game. If you change some attributes in a unit and don't save the game, all changes will be lost. Also, every change you make, will be applied instantly - i.e. your new units will be built with the modifications.

I was hoping for a cache editor so I don't have to build new cache everytimes.

Well, in a way, this should help you out, since you can test the functionality of the units without recreating the cache. Anyway, I use it to cheat and conquer the world. That's why I built it. But I thought someone else might find it useful.

Do you think you can make one that can mod treaties? It would be awsome to be able to disband an allaince without going to war. and setting other nations at war with each other would be cool to.

Hi BlueD0T,

I'm nearly done with a new version, which can modify country data. This includes the relation parameters between countries (diplomatic, civilian and casus belli), which can be used in creating wars between countries. I have also found the locations of the treaties, but this is more complicated, so I will not include the option for modifying these parameters (for now).

I have a problem with posting the application. I don't want to split the application in parts in order to attach it in this forum. So, if anyone can help in hosting the application, please write me. I can also send the application to anyone interested via e-mail.

Megaupload can handle 1 GB file sizes. There are other services that do similar.

Very nice. Just to make things perfectly clear, does "Save data" in the units tab save parameter changes for your save game permanently? The game will not change it back to original/default specs on a load?

@BigD,others:

Could you maybe upload the editor,please?

The application only changes parameters in the memory, which means that if you save the game with a changed unit, the changes will be saved too. If you load a previous save game, the changes will be gone. It doesn't change any of the files in the game.

The changes are permanent after saving the game. But just for that game. If you start another game, the old data will be loaded.
