The DataBlock PDF reference

Friends,
I just finished the 70+ page datablocks resource. It was very helpful and I learned a lot as I'm very new to Torque. I did notice a few issues however and wonder if someone is actively working on that resource? The main issue I suppose would be that it was based on TGE 1.2.2 and we are now obviously at 1.4.0. Has anything changed? There were several fields marked as either "this has no affect on the engine" and/or "this will probably be removed from the engine."
Would it be possible to get this document updated? Also, at the end of the document, it says:
In the next section we get closer to finishing up this reference on datablocks, as we continue with
DecalData, which is another direct derivative of SimDatablock.
However, no such section exists in the document, therefore the DecalData Datablock isn't discussed!
Thanks!

I am the culprit responsible for putting that doc up on the wiki. It was a copy of the 1.3 datablock ref on the TGE site, the most up to date I could find. I'm new to this as well, so wanted a reference I could look at without going online and that I could print and make notes on. If there is a more up to date version of this stuff I'll be happy to convert it and put it up. But I can't make it more up to date myself, as I'm still fairly clueless in that area.
Glad to see it was helpful. I have a couple of other things to put up byt there were some probs with uploading yesterday.
Cheers,
Dave.
