A little trick for all you Rules.txt haters!!!

[Bill3000]

For everyone who absolute, positively, HATES the Rules.txt (espesially the terrain part) here's a little trick for you. In the FW or MGE editor, create a new scenario, but this won't be for a scenario. Make all the changes to the rules.txt though the editors as you want, than quit. Then, simply paste the parts inot the tot rules.txt. But for terrain, after pasting the text, simply put
, Yes,
or
, No,

right before the Initials and VIOLA! Easy rules.txt editor without making one! Of course, the added features is another story....

So, guys, what do you think?

I still think its easiest (and certainly more perspicacious) to manually edit the files using notepad or wordpad.

It's not that simple, Bill3000. In many of the fields there are new lines. For example, under IMPROVEMENTS, there is an extra line, at the end of city improvements and before the wonders. It is for the improvement "starport." If you don't include the extra line, your scenario won't run. In the COSMIC field, there are 10 extra lines. So you need to be careful about cutting and pasting - the fields are not always the same.
