I thoroughly hope we'll be able to create and modify new items, too...at least from a name/properties perspective, even if we can't import models. So that there's not always a "The Dismantler" in every mod.

That's the intention. You would have to create your new monsters/textures and such using other software of course. (or download ones made by others)

I can see many fans working together to make very interesting new dungeons.

- Monster groups

fuck yeh. Not used enough in LoG.

I don't want to disappoint you but there is no such things in todo list

I'm going of these quotes,

petri wrote: Why not first create mods that add new dungeons, monsters, items and puzzles and then worry about advanced/hacky stuff later?

If you scour Petri's posts you'll probably find other stuff to.

• I don't know how large a dungeon script can become, but I think for some advanced / more complex dungeons the scripting window may lack some features like function-overview, syntax highlight etc. - again, I may be wrong, there is only one screenshot yet

I think this would represent far more time spent developing than Petri using available GUI packages for the basic look and feel of the editor.

Anyway, this isn't necessary. Do your scripting in CONTEXT or Notepad++, some program that already has the syntax highlighters, and then paste your script into the editor. At least, that's how I always script for games. Sure, built in highlighters would be nice, but I'm assuming you're trying to minimize time used based on your GUI comment...

Looking at the screenshot I've got a bunch of questions, but most of them can wait. Just have two i'm curious about right now. First one is if there will be a way to turn off monster AI through scripting. and second is if there will be a way to connect torch lighting to scripting; it could be nice for dramatic effect to have all the torchs go out when a player is walking down a hall.

I'm curious about this as well.

It shouldn't be hard to replace the torches by burned out torches.

Unless you want the player to be able to pull them out and receive regular torches again. Hmm...

I think the thinking is more along the lines of 'player enters room, all light sources extinguish', or something along those lines. Which is a great idea.

Why do you want to deactivate the AI? To replace it with scripted sequences? That would be nice

What I'm curios about is if the monster AI is Lua-scripted (and thus can be changed) or hard-coded, any ideas? (At least I think there were some scripted path that some enemies followed in the game...)
