I don't know if I'd use it but geese 48 pages? Must of took a long time. Good work.

 

Hi all, DL the ebook and currently trying to understand whats in it. Boy there is a lot to understand when it comes to moding. Is there any chance you will be putting material for making your own ship in there in the future, Since i am having some problems understanding the topic that is being explained and it doesnt cover enough to make heads or tails for a beginner like me. Thanks again and keep up the great work.

 

I was reading this guide, and I noticed a large number of grammar errors, among others. If it's not too much to ask, could I proofread the current released version, or the version you've yet to release, and send you the error fixes? It might sound like a weird request, but I'd be flattered if you'd let me help.

 

Thanks so much for letting me help! I have to ask, and we can discuss this in private messaging if you want to keep the thread on-topic, but would you be able to read annotated pdf files? It's the standard for the proofreading "industry," but I'm flexible.

Is there a such thing as making patches for Lua files?

 

A Lua file is just a text file with a different file extension/magic number than normal, like a .txt file. I don't understand what you mean by "patch" in this context, but hopefully that clarifies what you can and can't do to a Lua file. To add to that, if you mean patch as in patching software, possibly in a git repo, for instance, or even on Steam, then yes, you can patch a Lua file, just like any other file in a software repository.
