@ Finladay - good post - just a suggestion though. I tend to go for
bold which is done by {b} and {/b} but with the square brackets to highlight the lines for modding, and then use the semi colon to add text to describe it. There is a reason for that though - cause IF someone just copies the line in without removing the comment, the game won't read the comment DUE to the semi colon (which confusingly enough i call a comment
). It skips over that line, so "commenting out" parts, or even lines, means that the game won't read those parts, like:
Blah blah
;damage = 10000000
blah blah blah
Means that the game will only see
blah blah
blah blah blah
If you get my meaning

Notice that this is my own marketships for manhatten? Funny thing is that every ship is set to sell - but ONLY the ones in bold are read by the game cause there is not comment infront of them - therefore the game skips over them. Means that testing is bloomin quick - cause i can change ships in seconds.
Now please don't get offended - its just that doing this means that those receiving help can really stuff it up by just copying what you put down into their files - and it will still work.
On a side note, i guess it means that if we all post kinda same wise as well - it might help understand quicker.........but that is a minor thing - its just so that they can really misunderstand and still get results as game won't crash
