The batch editor is a program someone created so mis. files could be hand edited, basically with more control. Takes some time to learn and my skills at it are still limited. I can't find the link for it now, but I'm sure somewhere it still exist. The old thread should still exist somewhere discussing how it's used, why I've figured out it's basics, I'm certainly not gonna try and explain it. It's like most things, you have to take some time to learn it. Back in the day when making campaigns was new you had many players with high skill always discussing it, some are still around, but it's more of a past thing that not many seem to want to revisit or take the time, but the threads still exist.
The other issue is getting permission from Lurker to alter his mod, he's not around.
You can still add some traffic using zero files in RSRD. I've added some ships like the Nagato into Lurkers existing work, but that is changing his work.
I found I can use the ME with RSRD, but you're limited to what you can do with RSRD, it's easy to mess up things if you start messing with Lurkers groups.
Our best hope is the Jap Campaign mod that tater was working on, but I think they've given up on it.
I am slowly making a mod working inside RSRD, just not messing with Lurkers work, just adding, but I think we would all love to see it updated since we have so many extra ships. I'm not clear on this "having permisison" if your mod just overwrites files in an existing mod without changing the existing work.
Right now with Peabody's figuring out an issue, I'm adding historical lighthouses around the Pacific on cliffs and shorelines. I think that's where they should be. Plus they make good navigational references if you use celestial navigation.
