thanks goafan, yes the forge tools are from the release of entrenchment, nearly TWO years ago and there have been 7 patches( each altering the entity files in a significant way) for both vanilla sins AND entrenchment, and on top of that the diplomacy expansion was also released which has had FOUR patches all of which have had alterations in the entity files and even the manifests that entrenchment and diplomacy use to load all the needed files, also one of the more requested items IS updated reference files( ie read and edit friendly) which is why I wrote and released my textbin gui and also the actual texted game files which are in my reference files thread.
