Help with .csv editing
Cipher:
well, i was editing the direwolf csv to add a favorite (canon) variant of mine, and after i finished and went to solo mission to make sure it works, this happened.
so, now i'm looking through the csv to find what i did wrong, and because i'm not really experienced in this, i'm totally stumped
p.s. i edited it with ms excel 03, and i'll put it here to see if someone could try and help me

First mistake, using Excel or some other DB type program to edit. Made that one myself. :confused:
Your best bet is to use NotePad. You can change the values between the commas without losing any.
Just from looking at the first few lines I see missing commas at the end of the line. The code expects them to be there, and if not, will throw off positions for other values in the data.

Download the CSV Weapons coding file, it's in Rich Text Format. It explains how to make what changes you want. Plus a little hysterical background on the files. :nod:

There is also a tool available to edit csv files, but having the same good look as excel. It's called "CSVed". However, while it supports a good and organized view, I find it quite unhandy in editing. You can try, but your best bet is as TheOldman said, using notepad. In time you get used where each value is stored
Droid803:
Isn't a csv just a file of Comma Separated Values?
Starman01:
Yep.
But Excel is messing it up when you try to save it :(
