cant edit gameinfo files

I just reinstalled the game and unlike when I bought the game. I am unable to alter the gameinfo files to change the ships stats or reserach etc... I downloaded the forge and tried to use those files since it let me alter them but it wont run with the game. Any Ideas?

first make a COPY of the sins/entrenchment folders in another path possibly on another drive, then download, extract & run either my sins txtbin gui or my modding utilities v1.1

the files in the forge tools are from 2 versions ago, and with my utilities you can get a copy of the current files.

if you are modding entrenchment you only NEED the files you want to change in the mods-entrenchment v1.03 mod folder, but for vanilla sins you still need ALL the files in the mods-V1.17 mod folder

hope this helps

entrenchment is the new expansion correct? If so I dont have that... I just installed the game and updated to vs 1.05.

wow 1.05, get impulse, register your game and then update to 1.17 play it for a while and then buy entrenchment.

look thru the files using a converter and create some mod for yourself to see what does what and then jump right in.
