If you change data in Officers.c do you have to restart game

[Hawkmoon1972]

When you change the file:

ProgramCharactersinitOfficers.c

Do you have to restart the game for the changes to take effect or is there a way to test your changes without playing up to the point that the officer you made a change to is met?

I sure hope there is some sort of manual reset because otherwise testing a small change will be really annoying.

Thanks.

I believe that you will have to start a new game as that file is an Init file and is normally only read when starting a new game.

I don't think that the `Re-initialise` function `re-reads` it as I suspect that would overwrite the officers current stats and level with their starting stats.

If you can post your changes and what you want them to do here then we might be able to tell you if it will work.

If you are running the 11.0 Build, I *think* there were some tools included with it - look in your

<b>POTC/tools/ </b>

directory (if you have it, I don't know anymore what is up or down with all the modding I have tried) and hopefully it will be there.

It's called PotC ModHelper. You will be able to start your game from just about any location in PotC, and you then can test your officer.
