Confused about starting scripting?...

[Roenlond]

Once you start scripting, you will encounter errors. IF there is an error in your script, amnesia will just crash when you try to load the map. If you instead have a dev environment set up and keep amnesia running with a working/empty script (so that you can actually start the game correctly) and you reload the game from within it, amnesia will not crash but instead just give you an error report.

So: if you start the game after scripting, you will crash and be forced to reload it every time you try to fix it.

If you keep the game running in windowed mode, you can simply reload from within it and not have to restart the game, making debugging a lot less painful and a lot quicker.
