ORIGINAL: ehsumrell1 Also, one trick I use in my modding of the character files I use, I separate the character entries by type as well. For Example: '# of Characters: 10 ' Leaders 0, Tralassi, 1, Tralassi_Lipid_Leader.png, Lipid, 1, 5, 2, 8, 6, 10, 7, 12, 5, 8, 19 1, Maanaga, 1, Maanaga_Lipid_Leader.png, Lipid, 2, 11, 3, 16, 6, 12, 10, 17, 11, 18, 21 ' Ambassadors 1, Tralmor, 2, Tralmor_Lipid_Ambassador.png, Lipid, 1, 12, 3, 11, 4, 18, 18, 9, 2, 7, 17 1, Gorthrit, 2, Gorthrit_Lipid_Ambassador.png, Lipid, 1, 16, 3, 22, 4, 8, 17, 7, 7, 9, 23 ' Governors 1, Onesh, 3, Onesh_Lipid_Governor.png, Lipid, 2, 13, 3, 9, 6, 18, 8, 17, 11, 15, 21 1, Tuzbar, 3, Tuzbar_Lipid_Governor.png, Lipid, 2, 11, 4, 16, 7, 18, 9, 11, 23, 26, 0 ' Admirals 0, Nema, 4, Nema_Lipid_Admiral.png, Lipid, 23, -5, 29, 4, 30, 26, 31, 23, 49, 51, 59 1, Ucknar, 4, Ucknar_Lipid_Admiral.png, Lipid, 24, -6, 32, 20, 34, 15, 38, 11, 50, 53, 60 ' Troop Generals 0, Retfan, 5, Retfan_Lipid_General.png, Lipid, 9, 18, 24, -5, 27, -9, 41, 22, 65, 67, 72 1, Ralassi, 5, Ralassi_Lipid_General.png, Lipid, 27, -4, 28, -3, 40, 12, 41, 27, 59, 66, 67 This way, by keeping count per type I have no problem matching the correct number of characters with their image files. In addition, keeping the columns neat makes it easy to verify the correct placement of commas for each row as well. Hope this helps! That was the system I was using. Still it all runs together (not helped by my poor eyesight).
