I start it, then it says it doesn't start due to errors.

I'm pretty sure that you have to post pictures with your mod. But anyway, it looks okay...

Pretty good for what I assume to be a first mod. Still needs some work, but you have to start somewhere, right?

Sorry about that. Will fix later today.

Good guess. Have any suggestions as to where I should take the mod? The Evac is my main priority right now.

I'd suggest asking some more experienced modders for some help if they're able to provide it. Most of the things you listed as far-fetched and implausible can be quite plausible with the right amount of help and encouragement. As for what to do next, I'd suggest trying to implement the evac and the rewards for kills. 5 gold for every kill seems a little unreasonable though, 35 to 40 seems alot more reasonable in my opinion.

Glad to see you've gotten a better grasp on lua! I've always wanted a quick way to sell things, such as money for kills, that sort of thing. You've had an idea, made it into a mod, attempted to implement a feature I've always wanted, and to top it off, you have good grammar! You'll make a nice addition to the forums.

Regardless, maybe "implausable" wasn't the word, but at the time of it's creation it was. I'm actually starting to get a better grasp on Lua, not enough to write my own but just enough to know what'll screw the scripts up. I've actually gotten the "quick way to sell things" very close to completion but I might just scrap it because it'd involve editing every actor's scripts individually. That and I was using akblabla's code, which I won't be willing to do until he returns to the forums. With the evac, however, I have no idea where to start. I might just save that for last and get everything else done first. I'll ask Gotcha about using his "Cash for Frags" script. Thanks, man!
Yeah, just keep at it, the more you work with it the more things click into place. With a little more time and experimenting you'll get the hang of things and then you'll be confused at how you didn't understand this in the beginning.
An easy way to sell stuff can definitely be done entirely via the activity. You can always get an objects gold value with thing:GetGoldValue(0,0)
Outside of that, a few useful links. If you haven't already looked at them I strongly suggest looking at weegee's basic mission making tutorials.
Also, while I gather it's all but useless for ini stuff, for lua the wiki is a huge help, namely its lua official references and lua functions pages.

Ah, thanks man. Weegee's tutorials needed minor tweaking for 1.0 compatibility but I got that sorted out. The wiki however has been a huge help thus far.

Strange, just tested it on a fresh install of 1.0 and it worked fine. Have you modified the vanilla files at all?

Yeah, that's probably it. I'll test it tomorrow.

Really? I haven't changed the download at all. Not that I can remember, at least. Odd. Either way, glad to see it's working.
