What Do I Need?

Scripting is probably the most complex thing for vampire.  These tutorials will not be teaching you how to program but how to do various things with the scripting language of vampire.  Its best if you have knowledge of java programming before you go diving into this tutorial.  If you get lost or stuck in a spot, please don't email me about it because I won't be replying to any messages on the scripting tutorials, its best to post it in the forums instead.

The tools that you will need to get started scripting for Vampire are the Sun Java SDK compiler, and a good text editor.  With these two tools and a basic bit of DOS knowledge, you can start compiling your own vampire scripts.   Again, I express this,  You should know the basics of java programming before getting involved with scripting for vampire.

You will also need the Nod SDK so that you have the files nessacary to build vampire scripts.  Without this you won't be able to compile the scripts properly, and most likely will just end up getting frustrated.

Where Can I Get The Tools?

Sun Java SDK - http://java.sun.com/products/jdk/1.1/
Nod SDK - http://www.wtdarkness.net/depository/files.shtml
