Can FLHook be made easier

[Alley]

There was some guy that made a python based hook many years ago and another guy that made a plugin to use python scripts.

There's also the FLHook listener to which you can send commands. We tested this years ago with Blodo with some ASP.NET app that could send arbitrary admin commands to the server as we were experimenting with web interfaces for POB management.

While it would be a nice change, I can't fathom why anyone would want to do something like this in 2023 as it wouldn't really bring anything new to the table. This is a dying game without an open-sourced engine. It cannot survive the same way Doom, Stalker or even Freespace 2 can. It can be a really great learning project as the use case we have here is extremely rare, but as far as a use in production go it would be a nightmare as there's so much legacy behavior you'd have to make sure is reimplemented it probably would become nothing but a development hell, let alone the months/years of work you'd need to reimplement the existing plugins if the intent is to completely replace the current hook.
