Don't worry, I don't hate you, I just hate bad spelling, grammar, and fascism. :rolleyes:

This reminds me of that old EV Challenge thing...

Dude, people can just alter the pilot files with resedit to make it look as if they did this. If they bothered at all. Nice try, though.

If at first you don't succeed, use more duct tape.

Actually, altering a pilot file in ResEdit is a lot harder than you might think. Perhaps you meant using ResEdit to create a plug-in that could then be used for pilot file alterations?

That's only the tiniest fraction of a pilot data file. Lovely, isn't it?

Pilot files are encrypted to prevent exactly this sort of meddling, and are a good deal more complicated than any plug-in resource even if you do have the decryptor.

I made an attempt to turn strict play on in a pilot file I was using. I created two pilots. Identical names, identical ship names, everything. The only difference being that the first had strict play enabled. Then, I cracked them open in BB Edit and did a hex-dump of the byte values. This makes them alot easier to read. I ran a search for differences between the files. I fully expected there to be at least two differences (creation dates differed as well as the strict play option) but it appeared to have about 6 different BLOCKS of differences. Each was about 128 bytes long. I then tried creating another identical non-strict play pilot to compare to the already existing one and find out which fields change every time but I didn't have any luck with that. The same fields were still extremely different. I'll give it another shot sometime today or tomorrow. I will, of course, post the results here.
