Greetings.
I have found that there is no sufficient information available for Players who want to create their own mod and therefore it is not new-user-friendly.
First of all, People should know which programs they will need in order to open files (such as core.cpk); which programs they will need in order to work with images/objects/icons & programs to work with scripts. So if possible, it would be highly appreciated if Developers could create Wiki page with this essential information.
Secondly, Players(especially newbies) need some guides in order to know from where they should start(for example, if they simply want to change Ship stats or add more Weapons).
Thirdly, I have seen that other Players(modders) are changing core.cpk file which is the one with retail scripts. So here is the question: should not mods be changed/added in separate file? I mean, according to wiki core.cpk file contains everything which should not be changed and in order to create mod we should use other file, is that correct?
Fourthly, I think AtomicTorch Developers should encrypt their scripts in core.cpk because currently anyone can extract them.
Lastly, I have got a question about programming. We are working on mining feature. How can you draw partly transparent image on the screen and dispose it? What functions should be used? And how cursor can be manipulated?
Best regards,
