i recently downloaded modding tools off petroden, from a guy at technical difficulties. they work really well when using macromedia applications. i have on question to all modders who know what im talking about-how do i unlock the things locked in the demo ie-empire starbase 3-5, officer bases, imperial star destroyer, and so on. i mean i can just start out with a star base level 5, but can not build to it. also are there more land scenarios in the "text" files, ive currently got 7 sytems around the demo are free but all have same space and land battle scenarios. any help on the latter of the two questions would be most helpful.thanks!

This belongs in the "Demo Mod" forum.

Thanks!

First extract the files from the .meg files (specifically config.meg) then start monkeying around with the xml/*.xml files. Right now its pretty much trial and error, but thats how modding goes at the infant stages of a new game.
