How do you go about creating/editing the area scripts?

As much as a fan of TeamBG as I am, I would suggest downloading Near Infinity, as it allows editing scripts directly into the game (no compiling needed). Locate the script you want to edit from the BCS folder and simply type out the changes you want to make. CAUTION This is definitely not for the faint of heart or those not reasonably comfortable with programming; you can permanently damage your game by editing these, requiring a reinstall of the game.
Caveat uttered, I can say that altering scripts can improve the performance or "correctness" of some things in the game, such as monster spawning or traps (yes, trap effects are scripts). I, myself, tend to shy away from script altering still; at best, I consider myself to be a novice at it. Search for posts by Vaskez on all the forum boards here, because he definitely knows more about it than I do.

mental note to self: I can't believe I forgot my obligatory green font!
