Since HL2 is nigh, and im guessing that hammer and such wont be updated for hl1... is it now time to update the tutorials once and for all?
As hl1 shall diminish, there will probably be less hl1 mappers newbies, and I suppose that the tutorials will be there more for posterity and quick reference.
So, on the eve of hl2 i propose that the tutorials are brought up to speed.
Basically these points need to be addressed:
How to set up the newer hammer so that you can view models
How to set up the hammer with steam.
also while im on the point, the environment tutorial mentions a lot about skyboxing and then simpy says 'dont do it, its rubbish' at the end. Mentioning how you can put patches of sky just outside windows etc would be helpful to beginners.
Anyone else know of anything that needs a good updating? (its probably the last call )
