 '''Using this Tutorial
-Can I suggest you operate in the following way to make the most of these tutorials?
+I suggest that you modify the CS configuration file to allow you to open multiple copies at the same time. (See [[A_beginner's_guide,_lesson_3_-_The_external_world#Introduction|Introduction to Lesson 3]])
-If you have not already altered the CS ini. file to allow you to open two copies at the same time do so now. (See lesson Three)
+Open one CS window for the '''PLAYTEST''' version. You can use this to look at the expected results of the mod. We will not edit this mod.
-Open one version of the CS with the '''PLAYTEST''' version. We can use this to look at the expected results of the mod. We will not edit this mod. (Unless you want to of course)
+Open a second window for the '''BASE''' version (unless you want to make your own buildings - then just make a new file). This window is for your working file.
-Open a second version with the '''BASE''' version loaded. This is your working files. If you don't want to use my version, and have your own buildings and dungeons then load this version here.

 The next three lessons will work to develop a quality version of a quest. While we will do this exercise, I have designed the quest to allow us to focus on key skills as we go on. This lesson deals with the creation of dialogue.  In lesson seven we will really turn our focus to scripting, although you will begin scripting in this lesson. The eighth lesson will complete the quest by focusing on AI and Audio.
-It is being assumed that you have completed lessons one to three, and that that you have at least read through the appendix section on the Quest Interface.
