Personally, as a complete non-programmer, I found the lw mission parza quite reasonable to understand, and the only reason I haven't created missions myself is simply my general awfulness at lw makes testing them or deciding what sort of thing would be easy or difficult a bit of a problem. If I was better at the game, and had completed more missions I'd probably give it a go.
Of course this is all subjective though obviously. Beware the Grue!

Hi Cara, Well, I never thought writing Lonewolf missions were too bad, but I know lots of gamers that did find it an issue. Then, again I am a programmer so one script language is the same to me as the next. I don't have the parcer scripts memorised any more but it went something like this to create a ship. <02> NAME=Destroyer LENGTH=010 WIDTH=002 HEIGHT=50 DEPTH=025 SPEED=030 Basicly, a lot of it was just using reserved variables and flags that were set by the LW parcer. As a programmer I have a pretty good idea how it works and one glance is enough for me to get the picture and general idea. For someone totally new to programming while they can learn it they won't have that instant moment of click where it all falls in place. As it is I won't be adding a mission parcer in STFC just do to the work involved in adding that kind of functionality to a game. Adding customisation that has to handle just about any idea someone might come up with. Cara Quinn wrote: > I must agree!
