Universal Paradox File Editor (UPFE)

I have blown the dust off of an old project I had begun years ago and forgotten about which was supposed to provide a quick, simple program to open just about any Paradox game file (ones with curly braces in them) and eventually edit them.

I think there is still much potential for this little guy, so I am going to release a concept build and see what people think about it.

It should open just about any game data file that is in the usual format "name = {" etc.., and present it's contents in a tree view. You can edit the contents in memory (renaming, setting values, deleting) but you cannot save the changes back to file [yet]. You can also use this tool to do searches across the tree.

I think this tool will help modders and the casual gamer who might want to quickly edit something on a save game.

Especially with more features such as drag n drop, copy&paste, etc...


HOI3 Editor

nstructions
You need .Net Framework 3.5 SP1
When loading it is not uncommon to experience wait times from ~30 to 240 seconds
This is a full fledged application that is expected to take 200 to 250MB of RAM. If you enlarge the map expect RAM usage to increase!
Some fields are directly editable on the data table. Simply double click on the cell you want to edit.
Changes are not saved across multiple provinces/leaders/ministers/units/technologies/etc, so make sure you save each one.
If you experience an error, whether it is Editor or Microsoft error, please post the contents!


Note about using Mods: When using an extending mod (a mod that uses HOI3 files + its own), the mod has precedence over HOI3 files, but if the mod doesn't extend leaders then vanilla leaders will be shown and they are still editable. As of v1.00, when you edit those vanilla leaders those changes will overwrite vanilla leaders and not create a leader file in the mod directory.
