: hmm.. See.. what I dont' get is why someone needs to tell people "Ok, take the instructions on cleaving and deleting sectors which has been covered in quite a few other tutorials, and carve out bumpy, rocky terrain".. The only knowledge you need to make outside terrain is cleaving/deleting.. Nothign more.. So it's a bit redundant to make a tutor on it.. Everyone's seen rocks, nobody has a better grasp on how rocks look then the next guy.. And there aren't really many suggestions you can give that aren't just common sense like "nature does not exist purely on 90 degree angles".. Everytime I read a quake tutor on making outdoor areas they have that sentence and it makes me cringe that people need to be told that...
: Well, that's my two cents.. Hope I didn't step on any toes..
Ok, I'm new to this editing bit and I've read
the JED tutorial and even practiced a few things
with it. I still have a few things that I need to
work on. I was trying to follow the Tutorial on
adjoing: creating two rooms connected with a small
hallway. Well it took me forever to get step two
done. And once I got to step five I totally lost
it. I just think that some of the tutorials
(especially the beginning ones) could be a little
more basic. Not everyone can read something once
and master it. I mean I worked with the default
sector for a couple of weeks just changing the
textures and adding objects and stuff....I thought
it would be easy creating a level and then I can't
even connect two of my rooms.
sorry about the long response but just a little
more basic tutorials might help out.
Thank you,
