there is also my doublefleet/caps mod that is for BOTH entrenchment AND diplomacy(same files AND no manifest) just extract to your mods-entrenchment v1.051 or mods-diplomacy v1.### folder in the user space and enable the mod(btw it is not going to stack with mad scientist, or other mods that re-arrange or change the fleet window as these are the stock files with adjusted fleet and cap numbers.

1 as far as changing the read-only attribute on a file OR folder, right mouseclick on the file/folder, then leftclick on 'properties', then REMOVE the tick in the read-only tickbox, then click 'ok'

2 only with the original three sins races the others will NOT have the extra fleet/caps, to make a mealstrom version you would have to edit ALL of the  RESEARCHSUBJECT_MAXCAPITALSHIPSrace#.ENTITY and RESEARCHSUBJECT_MAXSHIPSLOTSrace#.ENTITY files from mealstrom where race is the race it is for, and the # is the research level it is for and alter the  lines near the bottom that read perLevelValuethat is two lines below the modifier type (eg CapitalShipMaxSlots or ShipMaxSlotLevel), and as a suggestion I would recommend having the extra limits mod as a separate mod that is stacked ABOVE the main mod and keep the original mod ORIGINAL.

3 as far as added planet mods, there is 7 deadly sins, solar sins(do not know if there is a diplomacy 1.31 version yet) distant stars, the old celestial bodies( do not know if there is a dip1.31 version yet), and from memory zombiesrus5 also has one.

yes, the #(number) is the research level and the race(PSI,TEC,PHASE) is the race it is for,

and if you want it to be double of each level,

then you would need to edit EACH of the RESEARCHSUBJECT_MAXCAPITALSHIPrace#.entity AND RESEARCHSUBJECT_MAXSHIPSLOTSrace#.entity files or 16 files PER race,

so for a three race mod you would have to edit 48 files, and for a mod that has MORE races then it would be 16 * number of races files to edit.
