Since i became a registered member on the forums, i realized how many lazy bumps would give up on attempting to learn something new from a guide/tutorial because they either hate reading, think is to difficult because they see complicated numbers and weird words, or the guide is too long to read.
I know some people like detail writing to get a clear understanding on whatever the forumer is reading, and yet there are some people who like stuff short and sweet to the point without much explanation. what do you consider a good guide/tutorial to read? and i know some people just look for a guide with pretty pictures on it, but besides that, what else? I've made over..........uhm, 6 guides/tutorials. and yes, i like writing stuff for other people to use...and i guess thats the same reason why i like giving detailed reviews(i guess not anymore) although going in to much detail also means less appresiation or attention to whatever your referring. I've found most guides around here useful. in fact, if it wasnt for those dedicated forummers who wrote the first guides about modding/scripting/designing, i wouldn't had been able to mod/design/ and script the way i do now....but it seems very few people appreciate the work of those forummers, and it seems if you ask someone how they learned certain things they would say they learned that by themselfs when they didn't. heres a question.......what guides have you read? these are the guides that i've read in detailed and actually learned something from them.(note that all the guides i've read are in a period of over 3 years); [This message has been edited by Auron_ (edited 06-13-2005 @ 09:35 PM).]
