I've been getting a lot of Private messages, and emails on "how to make maps, or how do you cut holes, and other things related to mapping, and for many, months now been answering them, but lately was thinking about making my own version of "My_First_Map" Tutorial.
I was thinking about incorporating within it, How to make tunnels, maybe bridges, etc...
So I got started, and now decided to stop, and ask you guys if I should do this. It’s a lot of work, and I do have a lot on my dinner plate already. So unless you guys think it's needed, I'll probably not continue. I know there are other tutorials out there, some good, some not good at all, and then some times reading how to do something from a different view point can help too. So I guess I’m asking for a poll to take place, I’ve never done a poll before, so hope it goes well. But if you feel you could benefit from a new tutorial then let me know here and then maybe I’ll continue with what I’ve got started.
And thanks in advance for your time in participating in this poll.

If you do the core things such as tunnels and bridges that it should be less work for you but the main information is included. Most people know how to make basic maps so maybe split it uu into components such as tunnels, bridges ... These can then be published as seperate tutorials, which in my opinion is a better way to do things as the information is in sections relating to what they focus on. It's up to you, thats just my view.

Very good point, and your right, a lot less work for me, but may be better for the one that is looking for a tutorial on a specific part of mapping, but I'm still thinking it's a lot of work, and am needing to hear if there’s anyone out there, that really needs or wants such a tutorial before I continue back in it.

I personally think that video tutorials should be developed. There's software you can download that you can use too create them. Letting them see what you're doing will give a much better perspective. Only trouble is they can get too big in file size.

I don't know if you've ever seen any of my tutorials, but I do use plenty of stills, I like stills, that way you follow along and not just blow through a quick video and then don't remember what you just watched, I try to do tutorials that walk you through it and when your done you have a nice piece of what ever it was that the tutorial just walked you through like my Boolean tutorial, you end up with a very nice ladder of YOUR needed size., in any case thanks for the input, I’m feeling a little more motivated to get back to it. Lol, it’s just a lot of work. And if nobody really wants it anyways, then poop. Lol know what I mean? Again, thanks for your input. It would be nice to see this community get back to helping people/modders again, instead of all the flaming and putdowns that seem to be so grand in scale on this forum.
