X4 Editor

WARNING:

Rule number 1: Before you use this tool, be sure to have a BACKUP of your mods you want to open in the Editor. I am not responsible for any data loss due to bugs or wrong usage of the tool.

Precondition:

Extract all X4 and Mod Data you want to use so the X4 Editor can read the files (do this with the "X Rebirth Catalog Tool 1. 10").

How to use:

• []Set the vanilla folder path to the folder where you extracted the X4 vanilla data into. Then click on Read Vanilla. This will show you all vanilla data for the specified tables.

  []Set Mod folders. The tool supports an optional base mod and an active mod to be loaded into the editor. First enter the base mod path if needed and then your active mod path. Both is optional, but the base mod path can not be the export path.

  []Edit or just compare the values in the tables.

  []If you want to export your changes, set the export path the folder of your mod. This must be the active mod folder or a totally new folder. Simply click on export and thats it.

  []The X4 Editor shows most (not all) values for Ships, Weapons, Projectiles, Missiles, Shields, Engines and Wares in a compact and simply to compare view

  []Additionally the tool shows calculated values like DPS, DPS to shield, effective projectile range, production costs and margin of wares

  []For ships it shows the number of shields, turrets and weapons slots mountable on the ship

  []It makes it simple to find the values of a specific item by showing in game names if accessible (the 0001.xml file needs to be inside the "t" folder)

  []It offers several filter options to search specific items including item size or the option to filter for words in the name or ID of the items

  []The separate wares window can be set to show only the wares related to the filtered items of the main window

  []Mass edition/calculation over multiple selected cells is possible

  []Right click opens the related xml file in the oposite order of the loaded mods. So if the item you right click on was edited by the Active Mod, then this item xml file will be opened. If Active Mod has not changed the item at all but the BAse Mod did, then the file of Base Mod will be opened. If neither of these mods has edited the item, then the vanilla file will be opened.

  []Double Click on a weapon/turret filters the related projectil

  []Double Click on a projectile filters the related Turret/weapon
