Brush Manipulation

Fog
Alpha Textures
Caulking
Custom Load Screen
Advanced Texturing

Cardgame

Part 2 : Bombing
Part 3 : Assasination

Are these in the process of being written or just broken liks?

they are in the process of being written...

If you want to write one for the site let us know...

One of those? Not sure that I'm up for that at the moment..

But I am working on three at the moment. I have chatted with jv_map about a revision to ?Ambient Sound?. There is an error in ambient.scr that I explain how to fix. Another one is about setting up your development environment for creating maps along with a batch file to lessen the work load. And the third is how to make your Spearhead maps MOHAA friendly.

I should have the environment tutorial finished this morning, but need someone to proof read it first. The ambient sound revision is near completion, just some testing to do first.

Innkeeper you're doing some really good work, thumbs up thanks a lot.

The Brush Manipulation tutorial is actually done for weeks but just not online yet. The others were promised by a couple of guys but I don't think these are actually in progress...

OK, I've decided to do a little reorganisation of the tutorials, mainly making it clearer to people which tutorial does what, and I should have the 3 tutorials up by the end of today - I've got workmen coming over, plus someones coming to fit Sky TV (yay)....

Heh Surgeon, I've sent you a tutorial on Assassination. Check it out. See whether it satisfies you.

Guys : Take a look at this and tell me if you think this is the right route to go down. Does it look better than the way the tutorials are organised just now, or worse ? Its not finished yet but i just wanted to get some idea of what it will look like

I like the way you have them separated by level of difficulty. Maybe make the row divider between difficulties a little thicker and list them in alphabetical order.

Much better.

Also maybe add a section for requested tutorials. You might need a review board to critique them first. Having a noob on this kind of board would help. If they could understand them, that would be a plus. Of course this position would have to filled on a regular basis because the more of these you read and understand the more you lose your noob status.

hmm thats a good idea about the request a tutorial thing .... i'll have a think about that one....
