What computer language do you need to learn to script? e.g c, c++, java etc

Well actually, none. There's a funtion on KotOR tool that shows you how to script... also in the scripting section of the forums, there are scripts that are usable by anyone...

It is however based upon the C language.

how simple is the script section of kotor tool to use?

Very Simple

Once you've grasped the concept of scripting this thread will be very helpful.

It IS based on C language, but the game engine itself recognises specific commands for scripts, which were originally created by the coders and game developers. Think of it as its own language. It's quite easy to learn, though.

Also, In Kotor Tool, when you use the text editor for scripts, select the "Script is for Kotor1", on the compile menu, and you'll see at the bottom right of the editor, several commands to choose from. Click to find the one you want
I ocassionally discover new commands.
