[REQUEST] New to Custom Story Development

[Putmalk]

I'm confused by "what program is recommended"? You mean for scripting? A simple text editor is more than enough, but I would recommend Programmer's Notepad - it's what I use and I really like it.

Tutorials can be found on the wiki.

I would recommend having some background on scripting before beginning to script or you will be very lost!

Good luck.
