Very few people will read through a massive page of plain text
Add some pictures to liven it up a bit

This might have some interesting points for CS mappers, but the tips are so random and unorganized I can't see this piece of text ever becoming a proper tutorial. The point is why should someone read a tutorial entitled "Remaking mini_dust2". It could be interesting in a blog or something but here at least try to find a better title like "Checklist for map remakes" or whatever this text is about.

:) Thanks for the comments.

I was not sure were to go with this and thought i'd check before putting in a lot of time to make something of it (or not).

reaper it actualy is a blog added together :) i added notes and bits while converting the map on my site/blog and copy pasted it together and did some cleanup. The notes were initialy for my own benefit to not forget what i learned while building.

It's probably best to leave this as a HOW-NOT-TO write a tutoial.

Part of what i want to tell is how much work it is to make a map and i skipped the most dificult part finding a good layout (again credits go to the unknown mapper who made the 1.6 version)

G.ball what bb code did you mean (to add pictures / fontsize stuff? thats on the todo list ;)

mmmm i'll think about where to go from here but "hit delete" comes to mind

This thing needs pictures and a bit of formatting. Titles, colors, bold, italic ...

I read your tutorial to "Changes to the original map" and then I scrolled down to see The_6th_monkey's comment. I agreed. But this kind of tutorial has many little thing which don't show up in traditional tutorials so I like it. I read it to the end when I have more time.
