btw what should the lvl range be at should it be for level 20-30 or 25-35 or 30-40 or even 40 only?

Well, what kind of area would you prefer? Smile

I dont mind, maybe something in the range of 25-35 so it fits to Tul Harar, Chennecatt and teh otehr areas there? But really feel free to design it as you wish (thats my opinion at least).

If you guys haven't had a chance, please read the Arda Scripting Guide. For new editors, the most important information is about the naming convention.

All new areas MUST have their resref aka blueprint names have a common starting designator for items, scripts, mobs etc. You do this by puting the desired blueprint name in for the display name, then following up after creation by editing the display name to what you want.

When the files are imported, they only import the area. We have to manually pick out the scripts and blueprints that are associated with an area. Although NPCs that are placed in an area copy over, blueprints for spawn based creatures do not. Items that are generated randomly in a script are also not copied over. By having using a common starting text set for the blueprint, the actual file names of those items are common. If you don't do this then there is almost no change your area will be able to be imported into Arda as you won't find all your items or scripts once you enter the area.

And for those wondering, the mini-module includes EVERYTHING from Arda with the exception of the actual areas. Have fun with a full compile, as it takes me about 3 hours to complete. I might have forgotten to include a "starting point" icon in the area, so feel free to add that to the start of your new area.
