The awesome thing about ZQuest is: it doesn't require scripting at all! You CAN script to add cool additional features, but it's completely optional. It's mostly a point and click editor. Check out the wiki for some help: http://www.shardstorm.com/ZCwiki/Third-party_Tutorials

Some other resources are here: http://armageddongames.net/showthread.php?94600-The-ZQuest-FAQ-and-Resource-Compendium-(READ-BEFORE-POSTING)
Unfortunately, it looks like there are a lot of dead links. There is still some good information in some of these places. Stick around. We have a lot of guys who frequent here that use the program way more than I do.

I've run into a problem I found a video guide but it was much outdated and the way he built a cave to screen 80 where the preset is doesn't work on 2.50 and i have a tree cave with a tile warp set to that screen but when i go in it takes me to this random cave with 4 keese even though its not even on the map any help?

You need to open the dmap editor and go into the Flags tab. Check the box that says "Use Caves Instead of Item Cellars".
