Re-import/re-populate dat files

Would be nice if all dat files were "updatable"...for me at least something such as the world.dat would be nice so we can make changes to updates to txt or xml files and load them into the game. And yes, this is my solution to the problem we are playing with in Wrong Country

Actually, from a customizing perspective, the only "real enhancement" I can think of. It must not be "do-able" (programming-wise).

Or possibly re-importing the .csv files after you've made changes to them - that had been on my wish list as far back as OOTP 2006.

Same here. I haven't used the "shipped" .csv files since around OOTP4. First thing, upon installing the new version(s) of the game, was to swap-out the original files for my customized ones.

Or better yet, being able to open the .dat files in Microsoft Access/Excel as you can with the Wolverine Studios games.
