Should I? - CarnivorousJelly - 05-24-2013 Hey guys! I was considering creating a tutorial using basic assets from the level editor for beginning mappers. Before I actually do that though, I would love to know if anyone even thinks I'm qualified to post a tutorial considering I've been here for all of.... 6 months now and relatively quiet. I would also like to know if you think the tutorial series would be useful or substantial. I understand there aren't that many new mappers and most (probably all) of this stuff is covered in other lovely tutorials on the wiki, but I'm still interested in actually making this. The aforementioned tutorial would cover the following:
I know it's a huge amount of stuff to cover, but I wish I had been able to find all of this information in one concise area when I was starting (I actually downloaded the level editor in early 2011, didn't figure out how to use it or feel confident enough to show off anything until this year). RE: Should I? - Adny - 05-24-2013 You do some pretty awesome mapping, would like to see the "method behind the madness", so to speak. RE: Should I? - PutraenusAlivius - 05-24-2013 I think you should make a tutorial. This will benefit a lot of new beginners who just starting mapping. RE: Should I? - FlawlessHappiness - 05-24-2013 Use pictures too, instead of pure walls of texts! The question isn't if you should do it. The question is when you've got the time. RE: Should I? - Romulator - 05-24-2013 You got my support! RE: Should I? - Adrianis - 05-24-2013 Absolutely! Sounds like a great idea. If you need any help with the scripting parts, or feel like there should be more of a presence of scripting in the tutorial, I'm more than happy to help you write it or write that part myself as a contribution - just let me know RE: Should I? - The chaser - 05-24-2013 Hell yea, you could make it collaborating with Hardarm, as he is one of the best mappers here. I suck quite a lot in mapping, so something from a good one would work very well with me. You've got my attention and a tutorial to make ropes, as I think you have forgotten to add them: http://www.frictionalgames.com/forum/thread-18804.html RE: Should I? - Acies - 05-24-2013 (05-24-2013, 06:47 AM)Kiandra Wrote: Hey guys!

In general I'm happy to see an undertaking of a "long tutorial" (IMO an actual tutorial) rather than a "do this one task". You can divide it into portions, to make it more managable for you to create (time-wise that is). Good luck! RE: Should I? - Bridge - 05-24-2013 Isn't there already a tutorial? RE: Should I? - CarnivorousJelly - 05-25-2013 You're all wonderful! I certainly wasn't expecting any offers of help I won't make any of you add anything, but if there's something I miss (my weak point is scripting, so I'll be dancing around and away from it frequently) or something that needs to be added and you're willing to, that would be wonderful. I'll probably start with the user interface tutorial on Sunday. (05-24-2013, 09:04 PM)Bridge Wrote: Isn't there already a tutorial?

It's probably all on the wiki, it's just a matter of hunting it down, which (I found) is a huge pain in the butt. |
