Downlaoding right now!

 

Thanks, works great. I can finally edit values instead of just looking at them and wishing I could...woohoo!!

 

I like it, but I have one request. Please let the user choose whether to be able to see the actual column numbers as well as the descriptions.

 

Also, when I tell it to show headers for NPCs, it shows lines in a very weird order - it starts at 14152 and goes in reverse order to 14000, then shows 14194, 14193, 14198, then starts at 14159 and goes in forwards order to 14192, etc. Methinks your sorting function needs a touch of work

 

Actually juhnz it doesn't sort at all until the version I just released (and then you MUST choose it from menu since it takes awhile) so... The fan fix one seemed to of already been sorted so I thought the proggy was but while testing the compare feature I noticed the orig file came in unsorted - DUH! Anyway take a look at new version and see if it still ahs the issue. I added a lot of functionality I was thinking of going 3.0 but...

 

column number also? Just edit the ini, I can add that feature to next version, at first very few columns were labeled and the missing number wasn't a problem, but now that I have a lot more columns labeled.... I'll add a menu option under view to turn on/off comlumn numbers with decriptions.

And put something like 24 - Size. Actually I'll add that really quick here and keep it 2.1 so don't dload 2.1 until I respond again

 

Ok there you go, I made it do 24/size etc since two less chars. If you'd like it dif just let me know use link in first post to download it or the one from tools thread. Hope you like all the changes and I did fix a bug that you might not of seen yet. The loading one mentioned above the same went fo changing number of fixed cols but since that is a new thing... I guess you could of unfix cols in last version though... ANYWAY enjoy. BTW you can use this edito for the other tab files also I loaded a few and saved without trouble at least. Next version thanks to juhnz I'll have header info for jumppoint.tab.

 

Are you modders using this program? I don't want to put much more time into the next version if no one is using it.
