Last time I tried mucking about with the stats I let it sit for over 10 minutes on a fairly fast gaming PC. I might have edited the wrong field, though. I developed the editor at a pretty fast pace, and my test cycle was admittedly pretty haphazard.
I just did a fresh new game. Importing took around 2-3 minutes, since I didn't unlocked anything.
It's the amount of data it needs to run *shrug* (I'm not sure about how fast works exporting after editing with notepad++. Compared to your editor, it's a lot more bothersome and tedious, since it's just raw numbers without columns)
! I haven't explored FSNumberSave aside from some quick testing with number types, and for hacking in freecreds at one point, so your insight is especially helpful.
I just read the whole file.
It's basically the numbers for every flag regarding characters and status-es mostly.
But it's useful to edit specific status, like heat, well-rested duration, score, egging, etc. Also to edit NPCs status, like pregnancy or relationship levels.
I'm still trying to figure out how I want to present the data to the user. I kind of feel like having two editor modes available would be the best approach: an easy/guided mode for people who just want to quickly muck with their stats, and an advanced mode for people who want to get a more raw view of the files. The former would present everything in a clean and concise way, and would probably be perfectly fine for 95% of all use cases, while the latter would be for when people want to dive directly into the data (though it would at least have the field names filled out, unlike my current editor).
That would work great.
Though, honestly, the current editor would be perfect if we get to know what's for each column (for example, 2nd/3rd column is for health, 4th for experience, etc). I don't see much point in wasting your time developing another editor, since the current one is actually simple to understand and has everything!
I'm not entirely sure, but I think stats have changed since the last time I fiddled with edits.
I remember that, for example, penises had 2 scores, one for amount and another for size (like boobs and balls), but now they have 3 stats (one extra for width or something like that) which totally throws me off.
After that is the type of ears, face, body etc (not in that order) for when you get TFed, but I don't remember which is which exactly.
Then, and I'm just speculating, there are extra descriptors (which don't show on the sheet for NPCs, since they become available when the player gets infected)
Looking at the Easter Bunny TF code, it adds descriptions for thighs, feet and ass, even though they don't change shape.
Personally I'd like to be able to edit and give my characters those extra descriptions when in human form. I'm not sure why the human form description has to be so bland.
