editing custom equipment?
Is there a way to save custom edited equipment to the equipment database to be used with future characters, with out directly editing the data file?
Right now the only way I have found to save equipment is to have a junk character that I just copy equipment to/from ... |

Re: editing custom equipment?
You could make a new gdf file with the equipment and load it at the bottom of your other gdf files.
Save the newly created item (this will make a new file). Copy the content of that file in your custom gdf file which you will load. |

Select the piece of equipment: Edit -> Full Edit Window -> Save to Data File

Re: editing custom equipment?
Try opening the gdf file with a text editor. Search for the piece of equipment that matches most closely to what you want. Copy it to a new custom gdf file and edit the values to your liking.
Your custom gdf file should start with: Encoding=UTF-8 Version=3 Program=4.0.423 And put your copied equipment under: *** [EQUIPMENT] *** Under GCA4 - Tools - Options - Data Sets - Change Add the custom file to the bottom of the list. |

The Data Sets tab shows your current data set (probably default.gds) and the data files it contains. You can click the Change & Load Files button to add new files to the current data set, and immediately load them for use. Edit: Lord Azagthoth's post is also correct, if you have hand edited the file information, you'll need to ensure that it complies as he said.
