I sympathize as well. I would push a busload of nuns off of a cliff just to have a "tag dictionary" that lays out all of the Pathfinder tags, what uses each one, and the effects of applying them. If it was searchable, I would pick a cliff that was directly above a burning orphanage. And if I told you what I would do for a complete reference on the scripting language, the CIA would drone-strike my house, on the off-chance that I meant a word of it.
That said, I know from painful experience that software developers are often too close to the product to be able to write clear documentation on it, and technical writing is a whole different skillset that LWD may not have in-house. That means any "O'Reilly's for Hero Lab" project would likely require an outside contractor, and
that means spending money that otherwise could be spent on adding more features and data packages to Hero Lab. Not necessarily a good ROI, given that us modders are a rather small part of their overall customer base.
Finally, ProphetPX, have you looked at the
wiki? It's far from comprehensive, and it isn't the easiest thing to navigate, but it
is handy for looking up functions and what methods and transitions are available from a particular context. It's the closest thing to what you're asking for that currently exists. I frequently refer to the
Language Intrinsics and
Pick Context pages in my own work.
These forums are an excellent resource, too. I've said it before, but for every time I've had to post a question here, there have been 10 or so times that I haven't
needed to post one because I found what I needed by searching older threads.
We're also frustrated that we don't have as much time as we'd like to update our documentation. As TheIronGolem alluded to, good documentation takes time. Given our small team, we have a lot of things competing for our time. Sometime things have to be put on hold. Unfortunately, updating our documentation has been one of those things.
