Mission Editing

[Armorlord]

Let's say I wanted to modify a mission, how would I go about that?
Figure if I'm going to start hanging around here so much I might as well take a stab at my own Mod Requests.

In this case I'm looking to do something that seems like it should be relatively simple, either enabling vehicle saving, or disabling the area reset at the end of the mission. Depending on what sort of time I have, maybe I can play around with more fanciful ideas as I get the hang of it.

There are guides as far as packing/unpacking and mission names, but what sort of pointers do folks has as far as really sinking your teeth into this stuff?

The missions are written in the language Lua, so if you're not familiar with that, you might want to read through the early parts of the manual: http://www.lua.org/manual/5.2/
Be aware that many of the libraries such as file I/O are not available in the embedded engine in the Saints Row games.

Neat, thanks for pointing me toward that.
Down the rabbit hole I go..
