[REQUEST] Scripting Documentary?

Are there any documents that explain how to make any script for T:V?

The developer package for T:V in my point of view lacks of any real documentation. There are some rare comments in the source, but an overview which classes extends which other and for which porposes would not only be nice. And whats the difference between the UT und TV directorys in the package?

Maybe an experienced scripters could create a little tutorial? Something little like the nice PingHUD or FlagHUD would be very nice. A well documented howto could explain a lot and gives the rest of us much of help for further works. Even the source code of some of these would help a lot.

I must say I am doomed by the information fragments given by the developers.

Further questions are:

Which additional tools should I have to build some scripts for T:V.
Someone suggested WOTgreal to edit the sources. What do I need else? UCC.exe in the bin is the compiler, right? Has the TVed something useful in it for scripting only? What ever I do in it - browsing classes, loading maps - the UnrealScript editor is always empty?

This forum is great, they been posting examples and other very important info on tv scripting..Give it a check, it will also explain how to setup tv for compiling scripts.

As far as editors go Wotgreal is one of the best tools for working with *.u script.However due to how TV is setup, most of wotgreals functions dont work.But the maker of this IDE is working on an update from what i understand..So it will support TV sooner or later.http://www.wotgreal.com/
Wotgreal does have a nag screen tho..
There is also other editors like UDE3.0 which is the same thing as wotgreal(made by the same person) it also has some issues with TV and its package structure.

I know this isnt alot of info, all i have been able to find atm..Hope it helps..I am hoping the devs will hook us up with tools like they said they would, maybe even some info would be great.
