@SimGuruEugi – since you said here that you’d look into updating the docmentation PDF, here’s some more suggestions I thought I should post – perhaps you can take a look at that too while you’re at it...

You are absolutely right, knowing how things work is important for understanding.
Though I think, not to bad talk the guru's, that such explanations probably are best coming from an experienced modder as they know more how new modders think.
Naming conventions is something they really should elaborate though as that is something that should come from them.
What I was thinking you meant was that they should include instructions on how you go about setting the high bit and such in the documentation (again, I consider the documentation just that and should not be considered a tutorial, tutorials have quite a different purpose).
But I should not try to dictate how people should do things, especially not as I have almost no time to mod or create tools myself.
