Tutorial Request Thread

[[DtK] [SA] imthenewguy]

Hi all.

I thought I would add a tutorial request thread for those of you who are wanting to learn new skills. Tutorial requests can range from beginners to masters, and can vary on subject, ie mapping, scripting, video editing, photoshop, texture creation etc.

If you are keen on learning a new skill or simply building on your current ones, then copy the below template into a new post in this thread. Be sure to check the forum for existing tutorials before posting requests for new ones.

Tutorial Request
What field is this tutorial for (ie mapping):

probably, was going to say when said person posts a particular tutorial is it going to be using suffix'? or are we going to have sub-threads, i think sub-threads will be easier.

Suffix and a directory could be easier. As tutorials get released I can create a post linking it to the thread.

For now though, suffix like [MAP] or something.

I would love to make a video tutorial, but the video editor ♥♥♥♥s up all the time. keeps freezing etc.

this thread will get messy.. just make a section?

tbh I dont think there will be enough requests to warrant an entire section for it. If there is I will ask squall to make a sub catagory, but for now we will make do with this.

guys a good idea would be to NOT post unless you have a request using the correct format. This means less mess and more orgnisation.

What field is this tutorial for (ie mapping): modifying an existing map.. Really basic stuff to show me the tools and commands used.
Video or text based tutorial? Whatever shows me the method used better.
Your skill level (out of 10): 0 but not to programming completely I have spent time programming robots, PLCs and SCADA just nothing fun.
Content you would like the tutorial to cover:
I would like to build up to being able to make custom maps for SMDM. Small fun ones
But small steps first teach me some basics.
Thanks

I suppose you could always make sub-threads when there are a lot of tutorials the Suffix will look messy after a while

Hey mate that's an easy one. Are you sure you want to learn by decompiling someone elses complex as ♥♥♥♥ map? I think it would be easier to build your own basic map to get used to the editor. I have a good tutorial link for that one.

we're always looking for textures of all types. It seems to be on a case by case basis.

Common ones are metal textures, walls, ceilings, trims etc.

graphicly designed or through the use of special tools?

you create the material, usually a repeating material, and use the tools to add real maps and export VTF.
