I'm interested in modifying dialog.mdl and quickchat.mdl .
I understand that ksero created documented the inner workings of MDL code, where can I find this documentation, assuming it's not just inside ksero's brain ?

Specifically I'm interested in chat recipients.

Two examples:

The VC "turrets attack my target" is sent to the current wing, whatever that may be.
I would like to modify it so it goes directly to the ship channel.

Another uber cool mod would be to be able to press a button (say, ctrl-enter) and thereby switch to your target for chat.
Meaning, say I'm nanning Sheff who's in an HTT. I got him targeted, but to send him a PM I have to press enter, type part of his callsign, tab-complete, enter again and only then I got a direct line to him.

It would be so awesome if I there was a talk-to-target button.
I'd appreciate some help from anyone who know how this code works especially with regards to chat and targeting.
