OK, I got a kind of stupid question here.
How do we actually start making a duty profile?
I mean like, do we just open Microsoft Word and type in these commands? or what?
I see some real profiles already, but not sure if they are manually typed. If we do need to manualy key in, The format really confuses me, how do I know how many spaces I need to put in before the real command, or when to start a new line.

This doesn't explain my question at all.
It's all about the commands, which command is for what etc. This is the next step
My question is like, where do we actually put these commands? Do we just type it in Microsoft word? how do we make these into a proper format and correct file type.

open 1 of the duty file using notepad!!! i think is straight forward and of cos a little bit of programming knowledge.(look at the pattern, is repeating)

I give you an example of what I am confused about.
Let's say, I am trying to add an encounter to an existing profile. Then I found same kind of encounter in another profile, so I copy and paste, do a little bit modification (mobs ID, co-ords etc). Then I thought it should work, but it turns out what I added in is invalid commands, probably because the format is incorrect, but it looks right to me!

number needs to be in sequence. so if u cut and paste an encounter u need to make sure all the files is renumbered in order.
can you post the part that you think is wrong.

notepadd ++ use hte commands save as lua. or just open an already made profile and change the information inside. the easiest way(which has been stated about 100 times is to just open an exisiting profile and see how it looks)

Lua is just basic text, you open the file with notepad++ or equivalient text editor, and save when you're done.
There's no spell-check or intellisense for the form of lua that is used for profiles. If you fuck it up, it just won't work.
Hence, read the guide, follow the guidelines, use existing profiles as examples.
