Nice work...although

A) You currently can't launch any 3rd party modifications to UAW due to Live restrictions until the next patch (which will enable full mod support)
B) If you're trying to write a modding tutorial/guide you really need to understand the way in which the various XML files corelate with the rest of the game engine. If you can't actually test your modded files ingame how can your guide possibly be accurate?

Thanks for taking the time to do this but it's just not really that helpful...yet ;) Good to see you're beginning to look through the xml structure though. That's great, keep it up :)

Humans lack build animations, how you going to get around that?
