[QUOTE="rkooten, post: 526025, member: 81039"] hear hear!!! A lot of skins' code is a mess because everybody is copying everybody else, while no-one actually knows how the skin-engine really, really works. I once started trying to figure things out and documenting this, but I'm a skinner and not a coder. I simply don't know where to start and how to read the source. Asking skinners to provide documentation is the world upside down if you ask me... The community is capable of awesome things, as this skin-editor project shows, but people have to be enabled and facilitated. The best example is probably the game community. Developers create easy to use SDK's and documentation and the community improves games and content more than anyone could have every imagined (Counterstrike anyone?) Please take this as constructive input for development of MP2. Document as you go, please! ;) [/QUOTE]
