ok i have been having a problem and the net is seriously lacking in answers so I am hoping you guys can help.
I wish to add .dat files to the lists in Altana rather then overwriting original files in the ROM folders. I can open the lists no problem in excel 2003 and 2007 and open office, but yet when i try to save them I get errors saying that things may be lost.
so I save them as CVS (comma dilineated) like they show in my explorer. and when I reopen Altana with the new lists, the list I edited greys out from altana and that section of equipment goes blank in the model.
I have also tried opening in wordpad and notepad, these also dont seem to work.
I have done this in MV and it works great, but I prefer altana and would like to be able to use my modded .dats there as well.
Does anyone know how I can successfully edit the list files and what format to save them in so they work?
Thanks for any answers you all can provide.
