the current tutorial page could use a good tidying up though.

what about changing the names of some of the tutorials.
like for example instead of "Adding Atmosphere" having it named just "Atmosphere"?
makes it a lil bit easier to navigate.

or grouping them into groups like "entity tuts", "brush tuts", "tips and tricks" and so on

its already in difficulty groups. witch i think is great! i also like the search/find thing. great job there, thumbs up! :) though its kind of a bit discrete.

thats all really i can think of at the moment... lol

i know, theres alot of info out there... im just sigesting to gather some of the most important stuff and putting it under one "roof". but hey... :roll:

could atleast be nice having a couple of external links and stuff. directing you to the error pages and entity guides.

im just throwing suggestions here. dont you guys want TWHL to rise on the "user friendy" graph?

yea, i would love to see a couple of tuts on the source section.
i dont thing having too many tutorials is a problem, i mean, if they were sorted in a handy system or whatever... i dunno. i think its better to have too many tutorials than to little. aslong as it isnt total caos ofcourse.

PS: i would be more than willing to help out on the Entity Guide 7th. gimme a few and ill digg right into them :P lol

PPS: thanks CP! really helped me alot, guess i could have googled it myself, but... yea... easyer making you do it for me :nuts:

ive offered to help with some of the stuff, though i havent gotten any reply.

ill also be more than happy to help out with the entity guide if people would LETT ME! but i guess im not "experianced" enough for the responcibilety.

all im saying is; i would bloody well like if i didnt have to resort to google cause i dont know how to get the water to work in source and stuff, i had no idea i had to use a odd entity (env_cubemap) to get the water to work.
i would like it if i could find a nice tutorial on here. source have been out for how long? and all i can see is some tutorial about how to edit models and stuff. thats kinda cool, but maybe prioritize the biginners levels?

sorry if all this seem a bit "hostile" or "agressive". its not that im pissed of. i love TWHL, thats why im just trying to help out with the site and stuff. :)

thats odd, you all say its all there, please... pretty please show me. cause i cant se any helpfull source mapping tutorials on TWHL for beginners like me.

PS: using other peoples tutorials as inspiration for ones own is not stealing, its called RESEARCH!

okok, so after getting flamed at the shoutBOX i desided to get flamed here aswell... lmao.
ok, so here is like a few things i miss on this site.

#1: Source Tutorials
i just recently started with source mapping and had to google for tutorials and entity lists. i find this rather pointless as in i should be able to find a few things on TWHL. what i want, or would like, is a Basic Source Tutorial. like simple basic stuff. lighting and stuff. ive seen threw a few external tuts and decided to propose to write one myself. though im pretty sure theres people on here thats way better in that than me.
it would be quite cool with a few things like "how to master the physbox thing" or whatever. theres alot of posabilities in source! GRAB SOME PEOPLE!

#2: Source Entity Guide
another thing i miss is a Source Entity Guide. i mean... theres one for HL and CS. wheres HL2? theres alot of odd stuff in HL2 mapping that i have no idea what is. i had to google that aswell. lol. sad, isnt it? i mean, this site is called The Whole Half Life. wheres Half-Life:Source?

i cant really come up with any more stuff at the moment. but ill prolly find something to add later. feel free to comment and stuff peppz! im not afraid of critics :nuts:

PS: sorry bout horrable typos and grammar. :P

im not really need to know, its not really a problem ive got. im just curious.
are there any way to make a if setance? like for example:
if "barney" = dead; then
blabla something...
else
blabla something else
fi

or "case" for that matter...
what about variables? it would be really handy with a variable sometimes.

it prolly aint posible, or even nessesary. lmao
but i would just like to know
