Ok, you make good points, and I agree. But 95% of people wanting to create something may find it too much of a steep learning curve. Do you have the disassembly of the redshirt2 code as it is in the darwinia.exe? I might be able to make an inline patch so that we wouldn`t need to deredshirt at all, ...

A readme.txt with common problems and fixes, some indication of what sound, video hardware works best. Command line switches for safe mode, video, sound and debug mode for mod makers.
