Enceladus' Mapping Tutorials
« on: April 25, 2008, 11:19:14 PM »
UPDATED LINK: http://www.eawandmore.com/forum/index.php?act=idx

I have started to make a series of mapping tutorials. They will explain all you need to know about mapping. All my tutorials will be placed on EAW and More. http://eawandmore.freesmf.org/index.php You are not allowed to post them anywhere else. Here is my first tutorial: http://eawandmore.freesmf.org/index.php/topic,93.0.html PICS WILL BE POSTED TONIGHT.

This is a 7 word document page long tutorial on all the buttons and basics of making a land map.

I will make several more tutorials.

They will include:

Space Tutorial
Skirmish and GC Markers
Mapping Hints
Ramps
Bridges

I also have some other ideas.

Tell me if you have any topic ideas.

This tutorial is not to be copy or pasted on any site/forum without my (Enceladus) permission. If someone wants to see it then simply give them a link to EAW and More. PICS WILL BE POSTED WHEN I HAVE TIME. The more support you show for EAW and More by registering here the more I will add to this and my future mapping tutorials. So come one over and sign up. Bring your friends too.

why do u hate america? if it were not for us u guys would be lost. i mean we invented the tv, we invented the internet, cars and we even went to the planet moon. we won all the wars and we always help the little countries who cant fight and we give food to poor people.

I am done the tutorial for creating a bridge. Tutorial: Creating a Bridge
I would of posted the Markers tutorial by now but I accidentally deleted the file when I was cleaning up my desktop.  But It should be posted soon.
Remember that all my tutorials will be posted at EAW and More. EAW and More - Index

Also I have some news that might grab your attention.

I have created a members only section at EAW and More. This is my way of rewarding those who bothered to sign up on these forums. So far it is pretty basic but eventually I'll post skirmish maps there 1-2 weeks before they are released on EAWFiles. I amy even add some maps that will only be released there.  But for now...have fun with the green arrow button I created and put there.

I ahve also finished a basic platform tutorial.
For the markers tutorial the re will be a basic version available to the public and an advaced version for members only so sign up.
