The editor link page now keeps the two sets of messages apart:

  • The original's protocol, as decoded in The editor link: live mission editing and script debugging #539: unchanged, with a new column on each table saying what OpenReliant does with the tag (ported, not yet, or passed over).
  • OpenReliant's own messages (0x100 to 0x106), in a section of their own, each with why it's there: what the original's messages can't tell a client.
  • Adding a message: a new message has to make its case. OpenReliant adds one only where the link's messages, the original's and its own, can't do the job, and what the original's tags can carry goes through them.

Docs only; no code changes.

The editor link page keeps the original's protocol and OpenReliant's own
messages apart, so it's clear which is which. The original's tables say
what OpenReliant does with each tag, and each of OpenReliant's own
messages says why the original's can't do its job. The page also states
the rule for adding a message: a new one has to make its case, and what
the link's messages can already do goes through them.
