Default Would It Be Possible

Would it be possible to create a program that allows a person to set up all the data files the way they want PRIOR to starting a game?

I know that editting the files prior to the game can be done manually, but what I was wondering is if any one knows how to write a program that makes editting these files a simpler, more combined process.

This program would make it easy for newbies and people like me to set up the data files without having to try and decifer the actual information within the file.

Don't get me wrong, I enjoy setting up the files, and I have seen program like the Componant Editor that do basically what I would like for a DATA editor to do.

Any takers? Oh come on, you know you want to do it before the new BURN is done.

well, if you made a mod for each Version of the data files you want to use, you could switch between them with Matryx Mod Picker utility.

or did i misunderstand what you wanted to do?
