Beginner Mapping Tutorial

[woodbulb]

I've just finished a beginners mapping tutorial in Wordpad (my microsoft word isnt installed). Its got pictures and stuff, but I can't upload it I think because its .rtf, and its 23 megs. But i cover everything... Any suggestions on what I should do??

I can't PM for 4 days cause I just joined, but hopefully one of the staff members will read this...

Hey I may be able to host your tutorial for you if you like woodbulb

Let me know.

Try and zip it up - max compression and see how big it is after that

ahh okay
if i were u, i'd pm Chris_D or The Dark Elf (TDE for short )
they are all really approachable tho.

i think adding a map tutorial to this site would really be wonderful :thumbs:

 

[woodbulb]

Ok, I made it into .zip, wow its only 3.18 megs. I'm still wondering though, I made it in wordpad so its .rtf, it'll be openable by anyone with windows right then?

 

[jax0r]

Yes people will be able to.

See if you can attach it to one of these forum posts, it may be small enough

 

[woodbulb]

Nah every time I try to attach it it times out and gives that white screen. I don't want to go and resize every picture and reload each one just to make it fit as an attachment..

 

[jax0r]

ok well send me an email through the board and I'll reply and we'll get the hosting going

 

[woodbulb]

I think i sent you an email, anyways I asked for you email, and where's it gonna be hosted?? Maybe tomorrow I'll resize pics down to fit it here

 

[jax0r]

I did reply to your email.

It will be hosted at jack-shak.net.

Anyways email it on over to me.

 

[Sub_Lon]

I would really like to take a look at a tutorial. Let me know when it gets hosted please!

 

[woodbulb]

K its emailed, but I did specify in the email a couple of things that would be helpful like making a direct download link for it, not having to view all your other files trying to find it. See what you can do. Ill post a new thread about it once its up. Email me when its done plz thx.

You can submit it to www.hl2modcentral.com

We're always looking for new tutorials

 

[woodbulb]

K the jax0r dude who was supposed to host it never emailed me back or hosted it, I'm still waiting for the @gamil guy, and hl2modcentral requires an account I think so I'm making one.

 

[sharp]

woodbulb check your PM please. I emailed you my email address.

Thanks a lot! That was just the type of thing that an ignorant slob like myself needed. I have been looking everywhere for a tutorial that didn't assume I knew anything. Excellent!

Here is a PDF version for anyone that doesn't want the large file.

EDIT:

Isn't working, are attachments screwed up in the templates? Anyway, you can download it at:
