Find the script you want to edit
Open notepad
Drag the script into notepad
Edit what you want to edit
Save
Restart server
Thats really about it. Your making this harder than it has to be.

Anyone that scripts in note pad is stuck in the 486 age ..... Welcome to the 21st Century!
For the new and the old, drag and drop yourself out of the caves with note pad and use a real program. For Editing or Creating this by far is the program to use!!!!bean-head said:

Except that notpad doesn't count lines for you, so when you're looking for something on line 1293...

Notepad does have lines you have to use the goto option. Edit > goto then enter your line number. It doesnt really matter though each person likes whatever he/she uses.

What are you trying to edit? We can't tell you where to look if we don't know what your looking for
Here are the basics of scripting:
First figure out what you want to change.
Then look in the runuo scripts folder and try to find the scripts that deal with the item, npc, or system you want to change.
Open up that script in whatever text editor you want to use and look at the script. Try to see what each piece of code does and why it does what it does.
If can't tell from looking at one script then look at a few scripts. Many scripts have common parts and all are C# programming.
You will get experience by diving right into the scripts start small and work your way up to big things. Your not going to be able to code a race system or factions over night. You will probably have to start with things like changing loot on an npc or changing what an item does when you double click it.
We can't tell you how to change everything and most of us won't. You want experience youll have to take a look at the scripts and learn how to understand them. We are here to help you understand them but we will not do the work for you.
Here is my suggestion for your next step:
Find what you want to change. Find the scripts that deal with that. Then do a forum search. More than likely somebody else has wanted to do something similar to what you want to do.
Also you want a link or something to a how to script site. Your on it. The forums are the best how-to site out there for runuo scripting. There are tons of posts full of questions, how-tos, errors, fixes, and more. If you want a c# guide im sure you can find some around the net or in your local bookstore.

You Can find lines on note pad ... use edit on note pad top bar and hit goto ... enter number and your there =]

Bean your on the runuo help site. Look around there are instructions for everything you could want to do for your shard. Again if you don't share what you want to change we can no help you.

ok now that i have my thoughts organized, i havent started anything on my script i need to know some of the first steps so that i can learn what to do next that is all i am asking, i need to know stuff like how to open my clients script and stuff or however you would say this, all i know is that i need the first steps to the entire deal
Notepad didn't always count lines, it's a new feature that was added in windows 2000 and above.
I know for a fact windows ME, 98 and below don't have that in notepad.
Don't ask me about NT but I assume it doesn't either.
Anyway I'd use editplus 2 because of the highlighting feature (other programs have that as well, but I find editplus 2 runs nicely.) I have bad eyes so color coding really helps me.
