How to open raw files
« on: August 19, 2012, 03:54:23 pm »
I recently was going to try some simple raw modding. Nothing big, just like adding the NO EAT and NO DRINK tags to my dwarves to skip the food industries but when i try to open the raws of my savegames it says: "windows does not know which program to open these with" and i just ended up confused about alot of things :-[. Can anyone please answer:
1. what program do i use to open my savgame raws?
2. if i want to undo said modifications, can i just delete the world and will everything go back?
3. what happens if i mod the general raws and not my saves?

Are you sure you're in the folder named 'raw'? When you open the DF folder, click raw, then objects and you should see a list of text documents. You open them using Notepad. Dwarfs are in the creature_standard.txt

yea but isnt that just the general game data. there is a seperate file called "saves" which contains each of your worlds individual data that will only change those existing worlds
