Difficutly of making levels - Korten12 - 01-05-2011

So far I love Amnesia, and I want to make my own level, but I am not much a scripting guy. I just like to put things in the right places and such.

So how hard would you say it is to make a custom story if you're a beginner to this stuff?

I've just started making my own maps and know a little bit on scripting. The map editor is pretty easy to use to make geometry and place misc. items.

But getting them to perform actions is where scripting comes into play. It's got a learning curve if you're not familiar with scripting. So far, for me, it's becoming easier, and this is like my third day.

In my opinion.. Begin its little hard with editor.. But few hours and you know the basics, then becomes scripting and i have maded only two maps and full hours of scripting...

First map: 25 hours.. Only couple basic scripts

Second: 36 hours... Few more different scripts..

Its not that hard but if you are beginner of scripting and editing.. you must spent time days to get some scripting writed..

And make sure you use Notepad++

Lots easier to use and better than "Original notepad" Tongue
