An Upcoming Tutorial Created 20 years ago2003-10-25 01:56:37 UTC by Seventh-Monkey

I play to... make... a form of tutorial of hints and tips for beginner-intermediate mappers. Anything people'd like to particularly see? Please make lots of suggestions!

Please? It's not exactly a typical form of tutorial!

I was actually thinking of doing one o' these. Can we work together on it?

Hmmm... I think it will be nice to se the following things:
-Texture alignment (molded corners).
-Things to do so your map looks in order in hammer and you don?t go MAD.
-Cordon bounds and visgroups.
-Lightspots (in fact, the fact that the pitch represents the Y axis aim, I?m I right?.
-Correct placement of Info Nodes.
-General Hints about atmosphere and theme of a map.
-What makes a playable map.

You know, these sort of things... By the way, I?d like you to take a look at my toturial when Andy answers to it. Is my first English text!.

non linear maps - its hard but worth it

i'd like to know about making rope? like the stuff wot is swinnging and climbable!

Lots of Handy Useful entities And things you can make with them

sounds with ambient_generics, SPLASH SCREENS, what you can do with spirit, level transisions:how 2 set them up, not tellin ppl 2 look at an example map, and a great one...

HOW TO USE TWHL!

Right, since there's so much interest, let me say: it's gonna be a map! About mapping! A Black Mesa style facility, with loadsa sections where you can see, say, two identical elevators, one in-game and one Hammer-style, with all the p. ents. represented by func_illusionaries, massive multi-brush-scaled-down screenshots of Hammer for certain things... sound interesting?

Should be a lot more fun to do than a normal tutorial, too!

Vassy; was this the same idea you had?

stusaysyo: Sorry, no rope 'cept in OpFor!

Thanks for the ideas, all.

ooooooooooooooooooooooo Sounds very very interesting...

good thing im coming round your house this week hehehehe sneek preview

sounds good. a thing i'd like to see is how to make those damn custom sounds work /w ambient generics

I already sent in a splash screen tutorial. So there's no need to write that. Just a matter of time until Atom gets back and uploads it.

hokay Stenin

yay! splash screen!

umm wtf is splash screen (forgive my extreme noobity )

lol, s'ok
no, really, it's the background screen with the menu. Unless you've got steam, like me in which case even DoD seems to feature the ambiguous Senor Freeman

ah ok thanks
