Very nice little program.. even if you don't want the tech costs, it has a nifty little side effect- it generates text files with a list of all components and tech areas! Very condensed, good for modding reference

Anyway, I did run into one bug. When I tried to read in the Pirate mod's components, it gave me an error- said it had run into a [ and didn't know how to parse it.. even though the normal components.txt has that too and loaded fine.

I don't have the Pirate's Mod. Could you please post your components.txt and techarea.txt for me to test the program on? Thanks!

OK, if I did this right here there are. If not, the mod is in the mod forum here. Pirates and Nomads.

Thanks!

Looks like the techarea file didn't have a blank line between the Last techarea and the delimiters at the bottom of the file. I added code to handle this. Take a look and let me know what you think.

The Pirate Mod has a component called Hardened Bulkheads III that threw me for a loop until I noticed that this component acts as Point Defense Cannons. Whew! Pretty nifty idea, that...

I'm not sure WHAT that does. It's only on the III Version, has a 99 reload rate, and does no damage. Odd..

EDIT: I checked it, and the error I reported before is gone. Thanks!

But being who I am, I found another one. Load components.txt. Then load ANOTHER components.txt without exiting. The program doesn't clear the first one, and the results are... weird.

I believe that's the Tachyon Dampener... Might be something else, I just recently started playing P&N mod. Basically all it does is absorb attacks from weapon-damaging weapons.
