AttackIconsLeft.patch AttackIconsLeft.zip The 'Getting Started' guide for programmers can be found here: http://trac.wildfire...rtedProgrammers It's written in C++ for the core, and JavaScript for the game files (what you will be editing). Most of the code is found under the binaries\mods\public directory. Good luck!
