How "easy" or "hard" is making a custom story?

I was just wondering.

I've never really made a mod ever, and I've only download a couple.

So I don't think I'd make one anytime soon. But if I were to try, with no knowledge on how to use it, and probably no knowledge on how to even download the thing, could I learn as I use it?

Or will I end up just yearning to make a mod, and never do it?

haha

Mapping is easy when you are creative.
Scripting is sometimes tricky... But after a while you should be able to do good custom stories. Shy

Hmmmm

Scripting is not going to be fun for me

But how easy is mapping? Do I just drag and drop, or what?

lol

Yes mapping is so easy, you will see. Just a drag-and-drop. Big Grin

Basically. Though, scripting is easy for those that have some programming background (like me).

And that's where I will hit a raging stop. I have never programmed. Ever. Well this one time at a camp, but that doesn't count, they did most of the work.

RE: How "easy" or "hard" is making a custom story?

I never programed in my life, and I never even took a legit computer class, yet I consider myself a highly proficient scriptwriter, and also, I know a lot about computers. Of course, not as much as someone who has taken classes on this, but if you try your best at scripting, and ask questions on here, you can get it down in under a month like I did. Just gotta find some cool people to ask for help. Suggestions:
JenniferOrange, YourComputer, Kyle (the scripting God), Rapture, and a ton of others.

Best of luck!

If only there was a way for me to find someone who was good at this sort of thing, and convince them to do everything for me! While I watch and give commands in the distance!

Wait...ladies and gentlemen, bring me your modders.

This is reversed for me. I've been used to scripting, and adapting to this language shouldn't be too hard. Mapping will be difficult as I have a hard time putting my ideas into (virtual) reality.

If you try hard you can learn scripting really easy in about a week, once you learn to script even just this, is becomes super easy for all games. Its also fun to script, I love it!
