can you insert a new equipment item, expand it to include Korea weapons etc.?
[THIS RESPONSE HAS BEEN EDITED AFTER I HAD SOME COFFEE]
1) You can't insert a new equipment item (or delete one)--in fact, the TOAW eqp database does not allow you to "add" or "remove" equipment, because it will screw up the database. That said, you can of course "add" equipment by inserting it in place of another piece of equipment. Similarly, you can "delete" equipment by replacing it's name with "EMPTY", etc.
However, because of how the eqp file's XML is set up, in this viewer I've made equipment names "read only", so you can't "add" equipment by changing the names--you'll need to do that in the in-game editor, or better yet, with an XML editor such as Notepad++. Same for "deleting" equipment.
2) It should read any equip file, Korea. modern, or whatever, it just won't show those two unit attributes. Given how few units will have nuclear or stand-off capability, not sure how big of a deal that is.
The main reason I made this is to make it simpler to look at a bunch of similar units and make sure that all of the values are comparable, relative to each other--in other words, to make sure that there aren't some odd unit with AA range too long, or an AP rating that doesn't make any sense, etc.
Also, I've added a slightly revised version with some tweaks to the GUI. The main thing from a substantive point of view is that I've removed the ability to delete rows, which for the reason outlined in point 1 above, will not work.
The new version has been posted in the SECOND post of this thread.
