Using 1.16 would solve a few of my problems - of which the lack of certain AI opcodes is the least - but I don't want to be beholden to a version of SC that most users (except diehards like ourselves) wouldn't probably bother with. Besides, a couple of my older mods created for earlier versions of SC got broken by 1.16 anyway so I might as well just start from scratch.
Trial and error... mostly error.
Thanks to DarkenedFantasies, we now have Nekron's reference sheet mirorred on my site, which should load faster on all platforms when compared to google docs. Though Nekron's doc still occasionally receives updates, I'll check it a few times a month to make sure this page is up to date.
