Finally back to work on my scenario, tentatively titled "Evil East," and I'm trying to get the hang of the outdoor script calls for dialog boxes, rewards, etc. I noticed in VoDT that there are scripts titled o00Northweste, o01Southweste, and so forth.

I can tell that the titles of the scripts are indicative of which outdoor section (in X,Y coordinates) to which they apply. My question is this: What do I need to do to fashion some of my own outdoor scripts? Is it as simple as putting the right title on the word-processing document, or is there more to it?

If I were you, I'd duplicate one of VoDT's outdoor scripts and rename it appropriately for your scenario. Then I'd take out all the code inside the states but not delete the states themselves (so make sure the START_STATE still exists, but elminate everything inside of it, for example).

Then go to the Outdoors menu in the editor and set the "Section Script" to the name of your outdoor section's script file. Voila! You're ready to script.

Holy smokes! That's all it is? Thank you very much, Kelandon.

That's one of those nagging things that I keep forgetting, while I edit: coordinating the scripts and the graphical editor. For instance, I had such trouble with the dialogue script for one of my towns, until I realized that, in the graphical editor, I hadn't specified what script the town should follow (and subsequently which dialogue script). If that's how it works for the outdoors, then I just need to find where to specify that.
