Text Files
Text Files are used mainly for translation to the different languages. They also contain descriptions, hints and various other text related entries.
Note: if you are making new entries, you can easily create a new text file which holds all your new mod entries. The engine will read them. For most file's (except comment.txt, nmlist.txt , economy.txt, icons.txt) it doesnt matter where the entries are stored, it's just so to keep things grouped.
COMMENT.TXT
This file contains a lot of entries to give descriptions to the different vital buttons.
It also contains the description of the upgrades defined in ~.NDS
NMLIST.TXT
This is an important file. If you want to add new units ( eg. new MD files) you need to add the NAME entry into this file. This is also the entry that will be used in the~.NDS file under section [MEMBERS]second column. If you don't fill this file out, the game will crash or tell you "unknown monster found" after adding new units.
