Is it possible to create a mod that allows you to create a new GW game with a previous GW's commander? I have no idea where to even begin, but I heard that the commander and deck load-outs are stored in a .html file. If that could be taken and fed into a new game that'd considerably increase the enjoyment of my (and I would hope, other peoples) GW games. I might even be able to tackle the hardest difficulties with a commander who'd had a chance to build up a half decent deck by 1 or 2 previous campaign victories
Almost everything in GW is clientside. Possible: yes, easy... *shrug* Offhand I don't expect it to be designed to understand the concept of multiple loaded games at once, so you'll probably have to grab the card list, commander, and faction from the archived war page (I believe it's part of gw_start), stash it somewhere, and then insert the cards into inventory when setting up the new game, also in gw_start. A likely suspect would be hooking into dealStartCard.
Thank Wondible. Just knowing that it's possible makes me want to learn... erm. What's the language PA modders use again?
Javascript. The UI is essentially a web browser. The GW files are in: media/ui/main/game/galactic_war
