Hi Falkner - welcome to our world http://forums.nexusmods.com/public/style_emoticons/dark/biggrin.gif I can definitely vouch for the Hitch-hikers Guide - it covers the basics of adventure creation really well in language even I can understand - so must be good. For a more complete guide to much more, especially what all those mysterious little tick boxes & options mean that cover every aspect of the toolset - placeables, conversations, creatures, etc. - I'd recommend Bob Hall's Toolset Guide: Bob's guide on the vault It comes in several volumes & goes into more detail than anything else I've ever seen, but in a way that's helpful - explaining what everything does, and how to do a lot of things that are otherwise a little mysterious - like starting a conversation with a placeable. Re scripting in particular - I'll be the first to admit I hate the thing - so Lilac Soul's script wizard is a godsend for me. Someone revised it & posted their version on the vault which I now use instead, but for some reason, I can't see it right now - but the original's here: Lilac Soul v2.3 Don't be put off by it being listed for NWN1 - almost everything it creates works as the scripting systems are pretty much identical (so I'm told). Happy building! Cly.
