docs: a mod for some classes: sacred.hero_type, the spawn's hero types, classes.only, persona when

docs: Quick Start and Hero Classes pages, the Steam guide and forum links Quick Start is the Steam quick start guide as a wiki page: install, where mods go, and the three mods run in the game (a message on world load, the Dwarf as Wilbur, Sergeant Aldric with an ambush). Hero Classes documents classmod: CM.replace and its options, the eight tested bodies, the limits, and that undoing a class mod means deleting custom/pak/Items.pak and custom/scripts/us/global.res, because the bake builds global.res on top of the previous one. Runtime NPCs gains persona (spawn once, adopt after every load), the rule that a creature's script name is unique (a second CreateNPC with the name moves the first creature and creates nothing), and make_companion's combat option. The API reference gets the vars and persona wrappers and classmod; Installation lists the overlay keys (F7 copies the hero's position); first-mod troubleshooting covers .lua.txt files and the captured mouse.

docs: runtime mods go in custom/lua/mods, Steam verification restores ijl15.dll A mod that returns {} bakes to an empty file at its own path, and fs_override serves any existing custom\ file, so a runtime mod saved as a class FunkCode.lua hands the game an empty FunkCode.bin. Point runtime mods and the runtime examples at custom/lua/mods/, which mirrors no game file. Verify integrity does not stay green: install.cmd replaces ijl15.dll, which Steam restores. Say so, and to run install.cmd again.

docs: NPC walks and homes, own dialog buttons, fighters, gangs, quest items Runtime NPCs: Npc:go / place / home / state and the engine's home leash that stops a walk or pulls a teleported NPC back; an NPC's own dialog node with buttons that run records on the click (a price paid with IF HasGold); named fighters with a weapon, a gang that turns hostile after a talk, horses; text overrides dropped for dead NPCs. World Objects: a quest item on the ground, the DQ fetch-target shape. Vanilla Verbs: declare_node, ST.anchor, the death hook, create_obj's place flag. Cut Scenes: Sc.note for a window nobody speaks. Native Quests: a solved entry loses its arrow, ten body lines per entry. Lua API Reference: the new npcobj methods and archetypes.

docs: vanilla scripts decompile on the fly `sacred.disasm(bytes)` returns the record tables the baker consumes, so `vanilla.load` no longer needs a pre-decompiled snapshot: it reads the player's own .bin. Measured on a whole shipped script -- 125,236 records out of 3.97 MB in 721 ms, and baking them straight back produced a byte-identical file. Writing Your First Mod loses the "decompile it once" step; the API reference gains sacred.disasm and the two-tree package.path.
