Data editing

From GenieWiki

Jump to: navigation, search

Data editing is the editing of the data files that contain Genie's units, technologies, and basically all gameplay related data. It has grown especially popular recently with the release of the user-friendly GeniED2, which has a graphical user interface as opposed to the text-only editing of the original GeniED. Data files are normally edited with a hex editor in the abscence of any other program. Because the games' data files are closed format their data structures are hidden, meaning data editors must reverse engineer the code to find how it works.
