You could also try to get some people that know lots about Lua (and MechaSource), and let them develop the tutorials.

Are there more people than just MB in the union of those sets?

try running "MechaSourceSDK.exe" and "files\apps\Update.exe" in administrator mode

please tell me if this solves the issue so I can force administrator mode on for the update file to prevent that issue from happening any further :D

It tries to download, but says it can't connect to the internet (even when IE is open) then breaks when I cancel it.

try running in administrator mode or check if any internet security, firewall or anti-virus is blocking MechaSourceSDK or the Updating file (located in MechaSource\files\apps\Update.exe).

upcoming update. Should be ready next week.

QUOTE

* Added beginner and advanced scripting option in Settings. The new beginner scripting features easier and simpler scripting design.
* Added full preview support even for the SDK. Now the MechaSource Network isn't a requirement to view your game in all its glory.
* Added function control.bind which is inspired by Valve's Source engine's "bind" feature. It makes it easier to relate and understand.
* Added Windows Vista and Windows 7-specific dialogues.
* Fixed opening and closing projects sometimes not responding.

I also have a question: How bad would it be if simplified projects were unconvertable to advanced mode? If I have to keep the ability to convert between the two, the simplified mode won't have as many features and be as optimized as it could, but it would be easily transferable to the advanced mode.

In my own opinion it wouldn't be bad, because if you move from simplified to advanced you're better off starting all over, and this transition will only happen once per user anyway. But I want your opinion MFGG: Should simplified projects keep consistency with advanced projects?

Make it able to change to Advanced mode by changing the interpreter in the game. That is, assuming the games use an interpreter.

impossible because the simplified design will have a completely different setup than the advanced design. Consistency can't be kept without any loss on both sides.
