Talk:Mapping

From UFO:AI

A complete walk-thru would be nice, i.e. how to design, 'paint', compile + test a simple map.

tutorial link organisation

Being a heavy user of those tutorials and a beginner, I think that sorting those links could help newcomers. If nobody disagree, I would suggest something like that:

• Getting started
  • Mapping For Dummies - tools setup
    • MFD: Basic Definitions and Controls
    • MFD: Lesson 1 - Build a shed and a yard - Teaches the very basics.
    • MFD: Lesson 2 - Expanding the map - Teaches a multiple number of basic tools.
    • Dimensions - dimensions tutorial
    • Levelflags
      • Levelflags - step by step

• Special objects Howto
  • Pipes - How to do pipes
  • Wallbreak
  • Doors
  • Ladders
  • Lights
  • Breakable objects

• Random maps tutorial
  • Random map parts
  • Random map assembly

• Reference
  • Setting worldspawn flags
  • Surface Inspector flags and use

i think i'ts amazing how i could miss this talk page & still sort it in a quite similar way ;) if you have some suggestions or fixes for mapping related wiki part, please share - we're trying to get this into some shape so that it looks at least remotely as a manual. --Richlv 08:18, 22 August 2008 (UTC)
