Is there an up-to-date version of the mod manual that contains all the new commands and the ones that do and don't work up to the current patch? I know the current mod masters could probably update the original in a heartbeat, but I wouldn't even know where to start.

No, I don't think there is. The modding aspect of the game is currently a bit of a mess with some commands not working, new commands having been added but things not necessarily updated and other such.

Getting a concentrated burst on getting that right might be a good thing. I've got the typo fixes to do, but after my trip to Italy, I may tackle that. It comes with the bug list territory and you might as well pay attention to documentation at the same time.

I have written a small awk script that Sombre requested which lists all the ID numbers which are used in a mod file. ID numbers which are being used more than once will be listed as often as they appear, too. Makes it easy to find overlaps...

Example usage: Code:

---

$ awk -f dmlist.awk CBcomplete_1.00.dm

Monster IDs: 2851,2877,2888,2890-2892

Weapon IDs: 659,708-710,751-755,768-769

Armor IDs: 252-264

Site IDs: 890
