Is there a quick way to find changed params in a regulation.bin in a downloaded mod?
Question
I'm trying to troubleshoot and reverse engineer and teach myself modding. I was wondering if there was an easy way to highlight params that have been altered from vanilla values. When I open a second reg bin to compare, the altered items in the middle column turn blue when there is a conflict between my current reg bin and the comparison. However, is there a way of doing this with the column on the left? The params there turn green I make changes to my current reg bin, but I need a comparison to see what is actually changed, if that makes sense.

In DSmapstudio, if you start a new project and load a modded regulation.bin file, it highlights params in green that contain changes from vanilla. I think that's what you're looking for?
You can then highlight them and export if you're merging. Or you can drill down and find the exact values that have been changed.

Yeah, that's what I'm doing at the moment.
Basically if I load a reg bin up in the comparison tool, it marks any discrepancies between my current project and the comparison in blue, regardless of vanilla values. The issue is that this blue highlight is only active in the middle and right columns, so I have to click through to find any discrepancies. Normally I would just load the new reggie up in a new project and export all the green params, but I needed to investigate what each change actually did before I exported it.
It's all sorted now because I manually went through every single param to export what I needed, but I have needed this function previously, so thought I'd ask.
type ‚modified‘ into all three the left and middle search bars in dsmapstudio. without the ‚‘ obviously
this is as good as it gets I think. for the right side column, you have to rely on seeing the green rows. unless I don't know some other function.
Thanks, that's as close as I've got thus far. I think I've tried that once before, and it only highlights the green ones (changes from vanilla values), rather than blue ones (discrepancies between the current reg and the comparison column). Considering how many changes I've made to my reggie already, the whole list of params lights up green with that command. You wouldn't happen to have a list of commanda like that, would you?
DS Map Studio portable is CLI tool for DS Map Studio, it has a DIFF function that can get you the differences between two regulations, and it outputs them as a massedit file. https://github.com/mountlover/DSMSPortable/releases/latest
