Mod saves

October 19, 2010 8:43:10 AM from Sins of a Solar Empire ForumsSins of a Solar Empire Forums

When starting to make a mod on my computer I get a prompt that asks me how I want to save my txt file(Encoding). I have the following options

ANSI, Unicode, Unicode big endian, UTF-8 as well as the typical save as *.txt. Did I do something wrong or did I just miss a step somewhere along the typical modding route people use?

Are you using notepad++?

use .txt, but change the ending to .entity, .particle, .brush, or .window.(Depending on what you are modding)

You should mostly be modding .entity so change the ending to .entity.

Use Open With and set the modding file types like .entity to open with notepad++ by default. This allows to double click open. If you edit an existing file it will have the proper settings there like above. Only making a new file do you need to change the extension by adding .entity or whatever.

look in the playerphase.entity, and also add the new entities to the entity.manifest.
