As many of us can, or will soon be able to, begin mapping for the source engine, there will be a large need for tutorials. If you have anything you would like to learn to use, be it the displacement surfaces tool, physics objects, overlays, or whatever, then put your request here and somebody might take notice!

question, is it to early to request statics? .. should we begin a request thread for that as well?

i will personally be needing lots of pipes, fire plugs and mailboxes .. and anything else you can imagine on a street side.

Is there a way very slight cel shading can be applied to models?

Through shaders you could do it, but I haven't a clue how. Thats a coder's domain really, and we are lacking in coders here. Better chance of that sort of tutorial showing up at the VERC collective to be honest.

Er, getting my water to work properly I've been playing around with 3D skyboxes and they're actually quite easy to do, and should look good one day in a completed map...

I'm having slight water issues too Lep, so I don't think I'm qualified to write a tutorial on that just yet

I might write one on displacement surfaces this evening, depending on if I can be bothered!

Hmm, I just saw those in a screenshot, methinks a tut is definitely needed otherwise you could quite easily never know about them!

Shouldn't we wait for HL2, ahem, the non **taboo** HL2 to be released before making any plans? [addsig]

Well since the SDK has been released, I think the sooner the better for tutorials. We aren't writing these for the illegal version you know.

And it's good for the community. The sooner we have decent tuts up, the more new peeps we will have in the pit !

Two tutorials written - one on the basics of displacement surfaces, and the second about using alpha masking to vary between two materials on a single displacement surface. I'll be doing a third one about advanced terrain using displacement surfaces as soon as I get better at them myself

I was rather thinking that, not being able to test the entities ingame to see if they DO work, it is possible for the tutorials to be inaccurate, even wrong and misleading. [addsig]

I don't get what the problem is really, we ARE testing things in game to see that they work.

i agree with duncan.. but request that you guys save a few for the rest of us to write

the snarkmark lead is about reached its limit already

seriously though, i have not opened the *taboo* editor in a while for fear of getting bad habits started.. i was afraid the *taboo* editor would not be like the released version..

since the word trickled down about no released DM version, i have not been as keen on it anyways.. single player sucks with my affliction so.. anyways.. i will be working on some sort of a DM version even if i have no spawn points to add :/

You guys are doing an awesome job with the HL2 tutorials. You're hitting my wish list items one after another. Keep it up!
