nobody will be a personal teacher. we all have our own lifes and you can bet there are better things to
do than answering the same old questions over and over. you aren’t the first one who’s new to mapping…
we’ve all been. why should we show effort answering your questions (that have been answered for
others more than just once) if you don’t show some effort yourself to get your hands on mapping?

it’s you who wants to learn something… not we who want to teach you. so first off you might want
to show your willingness by reading, reading, reading, reading. many people spent ages on writing
tutorials that would help others to learn from so the least thing you could to is spending the same
time and read them!

btw opening a new thread for every single question that bugs you will NOT encourage people to
help you.

F.Y.I i have read so many tutorials tht i see them when i sleep and if u dont wanna help thats fine i understand but im asking if there is anyone who will all i wanted was like a page of EASILY explained basics like how do i build my own objects or how i stop the sky from being thousands of little skys instead of 1 big 1 or just to tell me about all the tools in rtk radiant and what hey do that would be the biggest help so if u have

better things

to do then i understand :disgust:
things to do

You should start with the basics.
Make little maps with little functionality.

And you should read the following thread:
http://www.splashdamage.com/index.php?name=pnPHPbb2&file=viewtopic&t=1710

It contains several links to tutorials.

You have to take time to learn.
Don’t hurry.

[Zombie13]

yes, it’s taken me years to get to this level, and I am still a noob mapper, so take your time, don’t rush, otherwise it will be your downfall, I know I have done this myself…

ok thanks for ur advice 1 more thing how do i reshape say …a box or a cyloinder how do bend or reshape is there a way?

i will try not to rush im just itching to get a map created. :poke:

[thore]

no, bending boxes or cylinders simply isn’t possible.

oh cmon! you’ve read so many tutorials and not a single one was about edge and vertex manipulation?
try randomly hitting E and V on your keyboard and drag those fancy dots around… and see what happens.

[Zombie13]

Ok last suggestion from me, goto this link it taught me about the extra q3 stuff I didn’t know going from quake2, it’s great for new mappers

http://www.planetquake.com/bubba/tutorial.html

He’s got some more advanced tutorials, that have patches

http://www.planetquake.com/bubba/tutorial2.html

Now they are very basic so you should be able to make patches after you have completed these tutorials.

ok thanks to all but thore i have seen ppl make things like v2 rockets and cars even tanks how do they do this then if u cant properly manipulate shapes? i have done the one with the dots but its not was i was hoping for and

as far as i know u must use a modeling program for that…u can’t use radiant… www.milkshape3d.com and http://www4.discreet.com/gmax/ is good programs…milkshape is the best but costs 25.00$ gmax( http://www4.discreet.com/gmax/ ) is free.
