Setting up different doors, and going through the js doors in xtrn. When
doinfg a setup in SCFG when adding the file name, there is sometimes an asterisk (*) or a question mark (?) before the xxxxx.js filename. What is
the difference between the two?

'*' is for executing a Baja or JavaScript module.
'?' is for executing a JavaScript module (only).

Thank you. So basically use the * for everything? Or are some particular?
Is it just one of those thing you just have to try when loading?

You can usually use '*' for loading any module. The only reason to use '?' over '*' if you do NOT want the fallback from .js to .bin file if/when the .js file doesn't exist.
