Tool for editing units

[RoLa]

Is there a tool to make simple mods changing just some unit stats very fast? If not here is what i think a tool could look like:

Basically i want 3 columns: faf units | current mod (optionally) | new mod or mod version

- filters on every column
- a possibility to set new values relativ by percentage or absoulte points
- basic formulas like in excel
- an intutive way to change units or multiple units by filter

is there a way to load changed blueprint files while fa is running? So you can test code without restarting fa?

Try notepad

Try notepad

Well notepad is too much black & white. I use Notepad++

The most annoying part is with changing and testing blueprints. I dont want to restart fa everytime I change a value. Is there a way? Did i miss something, a console command or something to reload a .lua/.bp file?

Are you a programmer at all? You could make the tool you describe

Well, i am a hobby programmer with semi professional background. I know a lot of stuff and languages:

German(perfect), Italian and English ( not too bad)
some skill with: Java, Freebasic ( and other basic dialects), PHP
less with: C, X86 ASM, Lua, Python, RegExp, MySQL

Some debian linux knowledge: Cyrus / Postfix , LAMP, linux console

So yes i could make the tool. But i dont have much time and I also like playing faf. I thought with such a tool (with network code) you could easily make "live balance tests" with several players. Just one player changing values while playing which are then synced to the others.

Select unit ingame with cheats on, hit shift-f6 or alt-f6 can't remember which. The vast majority of BP values can be changed in there, just spawn a new copy of the unit after changes are applied and you're good.
