Editing in .csv.spreadsheet

[cplprice]

Can the game data or a portion thereof, be edited in a csv file or spreadsheet? Say I just wanted to edit Japanese LCU's could I export the csv file in tracker and edit it, then save it back into my game mod? Or do you have to do it within editor and open each individual unit and make your modifications there?

Thanks.

Are you talking about the scenario data. The utility witploadAE.exe exports and imports scenario files to .csv format. It's a command line program, so you will have to open a Command window to use it. There was a thread about it a couple of weeks ago.

If you're talking about the various data generated in a turn, that is all in plain text.

Yes sir, I was talking about editing scenario data not turn data. Thank you for the information.

Will witploadae extract data for scenarios greater than #10?

I tried to extract for Downfall #14 and seemed to get the data for scenario 1. (entered witploadae/e/s014)

What am I doing wrong

witploadae/e/s014
