Only if you have some clue what the parameters do. For instance while
trying out the partical system and other features in MegaPOV+ I downloaded
some examples that where and older implimentation, One parameter didn't even
exist in the new version and the glow lights used a different syntax that literally
had one value sitting by itself with no explaination. Had I been using the patch
from the original author of that feature I may have had a file describing what it
was, but instead had to guess. I will take readability over write-ability any day. ;)
At least when I don't necessarilly have understandable documentation to work
with.
