Wow Dante, you are one busy person.  The demo hasn't even been out a week and you've already made  it possible to easily mod this.

Trying my best, this work is done along with Scorpio9a (another C&C modding veteran) so i can't take all the credit.

Thank You!

I really needed this for my empire mod.

God, I wish I had the time to devote to this like these guys.

Now all we need is proper lua files and we're golden

Agreed with RogueJedi, work your magic Dante and figure it out  ;D

Hello Dante and welcome again - Thank you for your help.

 

You have now moderator powers

Thanks, hope to keep the momentum going.

I'm new to modding, so could someone tell me what your supposed to do with the DAT editor?

Could we get an "export" option for this? A really simple CSV or tab-seperated export would be really cool, and probably not that hard to do.
