I suffer from the same "lack of time problem" so I understand that you can't provide documentation, I thing you already do enough support, at least from what I can see in the forum.

But, both a developer and a user, I can understand the frustration a future script creator faces when trying to learn ...

Though a valid suggestion it is one that doesn't help much :)

I found no information about either the scripting capabilities of the current used engine version, nor any documentation on the engine itself.

Until some months ago, the engine was as almost a ghost, with little to no reference on the ...

DataInputStream din = new DataInputStream(new BufferedInputStream((new FileInputStream("c:\\testcatalog.amc"));

int integersize = din.readInt();


This results in a ...

I also need some help reading the file. I'm using Java and I need to know if the integer that represents the string length is Big Endian or Little Endian. That will help a bit.
