actually i got into hacking with scripting, cause i usually do scripting (php, javascript, c++...)
and then i started mapping and i turned out to be one of the best... also romhacking became kind of a hobby of me that i do when i got no work (scripting) to do, so i dont want to script there as well
i think if i spent some time into scripting, i could learn it really fast cause im so experienced in it
