Ship Designs Save question

[Elowan]

Is there anyway to construct and then Save a complete ship/unit design list other than within the game itself?

I guess I'm asking whether the .emp file is editable?

Thnx.

Thnx.<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">MM seems to be unusually paranoid because both the savegame and the .EMP files are encrypted. He is probably concerned about hacking in multi-player games. I have not examined any saved ship design files but I suspect they will be encrypted as well.

So if anyone is going to make a either savegame editor or an EMPire file editor, it will be MM himself.

There is a file in each race directory call &lt;race&gt;_AI_designcreation.txt that dictates the designs if that race is computer played or you have the design minister on. What I do is design the ship in game, write down the comp's used and how many of each, then edit the file to recreate the ship the way I designed it. Of course it can take a couple of tweaks to get it exactly right and you have to restart a high tech game to see.

Great! Thanks.
