it is done that way with faces, npcdata, npc speech, mercedt, speech, and it is a rather versatile system if we think of flexibility.

currently, both prof.dat and aimbios/ mercbios.edt contain data for all mercs in just one file, meaning we physicly have to overwrite every merc's data in those two files whenever we want to use a different file (e.g. from a different mod)

i see that it would increase the number of character-related files enormously, but i also see the possibility to easily replace just one merc without having to replace all prof.dat or all aimbios/ mercbios file.

(speculation mode)
these individual files could, in a later stage, also be enlarged, scrollbuttons/ popups added to the AIM/ MERC Info pages and in such a manner, more detailed bioses written for new mercs.

Such way, the custom AIM/ MERC personnel could be made looking less generic and more background info e.g. relationships could be hinted at.


however, just having to work with one single file is probably more convenient. Personally, i'd like to have an easy to use GUI like proedit but each merc independant from others by having individual files.

a virtualised file system approach would IMO greatly benefit from that too, but that's just my speculation.
