Nope, you've got to add all the bits and pieces. Tedious :/

Thanks for the reply!
That's a little annoying, but probably better in the long run as it'll help cement exactly what work I've done, I s'pose. One more question then;
If I edit a file without going into any of its CDefs, or a file with no CDefs, I assume then that I just drag across that whole file? For example, the MAIN_HERO_STATS file contains the HealthPerLevel and ManaPerLevel arrays; would adding that whole file to the FMP include both of those? And, just so I know I'm on the right track, if I changed something like IsDrawable within say, OBJECT_EBONY_LONGSWORD, that gets covered by including just the OBJECT_EBONY_LONGSWORD file as a whole as I haven't gone into any of the CDefs, just stayed within the object itself, correct?
Oh, and - finally - going by that then, the general idea is that if I can't drag an individual change into the FMP box then I'm good just to add whatever the next file up in the tree is, yah? Like, I can't add the separate entries for all the boast costs inside the SCRIPT_DEF, so I'd just put in the SCRIPT_DEF itself?
Sorry for all the questions, just don't want to miss anything out in the mod package!

So this last week I made a horrible mistake with one of my mods and needed to rename one of the entries inside it in order for it to work. I did this with a hex editor. Scrolling through the file I found it stores entire entries, yes, but it looks like it was at one time or another capable of or at least was going to be capable of storing individual edits. If the tool developers are still around, I'd happily offer my assistance to work on that feature some more.
