Often, it seems, the hardest thing for a new campaign developer to accomplish is getting his campaign to work. He types creates all of the necessary files, types everything up, and when he tries to run it, an obscure error appears, stopping him from even entering his first scenario. Such errors are often difficult to debug, leaving the aspiring coder with nothing but frustration.
