Hey bud, welcome to our world
First you'll wanna check out these links. They'll take you to the Frictional Games wiki where you can get all kinds of tutorials and tips!
Full list of script functions:

Creating the custom story so it appears in the menu!

Streamlining the dev and debug process:

Beginner scripting tutorial:
http://wiki.frictionalgames.com/hpl2/tutorials/script/disable_gravity_tutorial
Also, make sure you have the proper tools! You'll need the HPL2 editor suite, downloadable from the wiki. There should be a sticky somewhere in this forum leading to it. You'll also need snacks, pumping techno music, an top-notch ergonomic chair with good armrests, Ben-Gay if you get carpal tunnel, and lots of patience! You will also need a note editor to open .cfg, .lang, .hps, and other script files. I suggest Notepad++ as it is free and very easy to use. Enjoy

RE: Help a New Fella? :3 - palistov - 04-17-2011
Keep browsing the wiki, there's definitely a file there to walk you through building your .lang file. The lang file is what contains all the text in your map, like inventory names/descriptions, messages, death hints, and basically everything else that has text.

eRoTiC, First off. I think you already made a folder, for your custom story and a maps folder for your maps?
Anyway, In the main Custom story Folder, make a file called extra_english.lang (Open with NOTEPAD!)
When done, Go in and write this down:
<LANGUAGE>
<CATEGORY Name="Journal">
<Entry Name="Note_Note1_Name">Title</Entry>
<Entry Name="Note_Note1_Text">Text</Entry>
</CATEGORY>
</LANGUAGE>
When done, Make a Note in your Map editor, when having it made and selected, On your right there should be a "Entity" Tab. Click it, Go all the way down. And you notice "NoteText"
Fill in Note1. Now head back to your extra_english.lang. And fill in the stuff. (You can change NoteText to anything aslong as you also change the Entity_Names to that.
I hope this helped, As i suck at instructing.
