When the .txt files are changed manually, the editor does not detect those changes and update the .stat files, so the changes are not reflected in the editor.

In addition, the editor does not detect missing .stat files and generate new .stat files from the .txt files, so third-party mod data cannot be viewed in the editor.

Norbyte might add TXT-to-STAT conversion to his tool, but the editor should really take care of this.
