Well I'm happy to join this mapping community! Hello to everyone!
Just finished the In the Beggining tutorials yesterday; can't wait to get my hands on more complicated stuff and make my own maps, I already have an idea going through in progress.
Note to other fellow newbies, if it's your first time to compile a map and it turns out floodlit, check the box when you press F9, the RAD and VIS parts for some reason are default on No, check them all on Normal. That's what happened to me!
