"Described a bit": Well, i need an exact spec (see below)"Works nicely": Uher...there's no programmatic definition of "nice", so i'll skip checking that.
"Registered on first tick": I'll have to look into the timing of remote interface. Should work.
"Should not change during game": Trivial. Just write lock.
"Disable normal gen in data": Trivial. Just provide a function.
"Modification to existing": Easy. Provide a method to give a mod an existing table and get back a new one.
If you have any actual interest in this i'm sure we can figure something out (and i can benefit from it in the future ;).
If you've already given up on it internally...please tell so i don't have to waste effort :p.
So...i wrote a very small sample verifier. The main question is: What do you think about the "specification" part? Is it easy enough for you to fill in the missing values (for now all number ranges are 0 to 10000)? Do you feel comfortable writing a complete specification if i write the verification function?
