@Zed: wow! Thanks for the very generous comments 
@pilly: Yus pleaseee, love to have a look!
@tooth: Believe me - I never found learning scripting easy (just ask the guys with no hair left from trying to teach me heh) Mapping however, that I did, because I am a visual person that was easy and a lot of fun for me to learn.
@darksign: sure
I feel your pain! When I started having a go at dmods, being totally new to all this sort of stuff, I found even putting the basic everyday scripts on potion bottles, making chests open the right way, man even making the water repeat was rather hard with no knowledge at the begining. Dunno what works so a little wary of changing things (we didnt do this stuff at school).
Reading the many scripting tutes out there didnt help me because they skipped this stage as being too basic and therefore not needing instructions. I had nothing to relate what I read to, so, it ended up taking me hours simply to locate the right script to make a potion bottle bounce and actually give the defence I knew it could hehe (yeah yeah)
With the basics already done like this file intends, some new stuff added and some tiles, many cant seem to get lined up, predone and ready to copy, you lot can get into the real scripting and game creation like your stories, puzzles, bosses etc and less *how do you u do xxx* repeated all the time. The forum lurkers can be getting their teeth into the gritty questions and stretch dink to his limits instead of ..."other things". I recon with the help of the vid tutes rob and pilly do, I am sure together we are all gunna have some really good stuff coming out in the future. Well thats the plan
So although its a staff decision as to whether this will be acceptable for upload or not, I guess I will continue to finish it and if they say no - well we can look at that if its rejected huh
Thanks so much for your encouragement fellas.
