Can you show the sources? :-D

Humm... QuArK, a map editor, as similar "problems" with python. The package need "minipython.exe"
 a minimal python runtime. Installing other pythons versions may break the QuArK installations.

The safe way the better. I am planning. Testing stuff. Collecting info and manuals. Learning C#.

I dont know how that work. Can give urls to examples?

My goal 2th is the simple posible mod coding (user .dll). But a hard to code engine, or a huge change
of the actual code may stop me ( I am not a coder, really.. )

Thanks!
