    Where can I find a program that edits the rules other than the game?

      I had 2.42 for the longest time and managed to design or (at least dream of doing) a number of things that I later saw in FW scnearios. So, I am a notepad/paintshop pro designer. As of this writing, I have NEVER used the FW editors for anything.

        So no one has heard of any other programs made especially for editing the rules.txt and isn't the in-game editor?

          I'm not sure what you're looking for. It's really just a text file, so any word processing program can probably do it. What's wrong with Notepad?

            You can copy the rules.txt file into a spreadsheet and work on it there. Someone with MS Access skills could probably make a nifty little program out of that
            (don't look at me - I havn't touched Access since 1997! [when I was rather good at it ])

              I know I COULD edit it with notepad as I have, but I could have sworn I saw a program that has a list of the units, you click on the unit that you want edit and it has nice boxes for all the attributes and is really user-friendly.

              Oh-well, I can always keep on using notepad.
