Need Perfect Tutorials

[dybbuk81]

Are there any youtube tutorials or otherwise split-up-in-lessons tutorials for beginning doom modding that are modern? I Have all the old sams publishing books but they're highly outdated. The reason I ask, is because with a couple exceptions I have made mostly bad mods to where I never release any anymore and feel I've lost my touch with modern ones and am stuck far in the 90s. I did get some cameras to work, slopes, moving water, etc. I just wondered if there was a super universal how-to that was highly used that definitely serves all of it's purpose.

 

EDIT: If not, what are some resources to place with other resources in an attempt to create a website for this purpose, and then use it?

Shit, wrong category: If admins still do this (I'm very sorry guys) file this under: Doom Editing

If you do not find anything that is pertinent to your interest, then request a tutorial.

Someone might be able to help.

I know you asked for basics so this isn't the best place, but my own site has a selection of tutorials and I add more semi-regularly. The next 'tutorial' type post I'll be making will be covering hotkeys and 'ways to work quicker' etc in GZDB, which a few people have asked me for.

I didn't understand how to convert the sloped archway on the grid to the real thing though, so I improvised.

Those are very well written and easy to follow! I didn't understand portals until now, so thanks for that.

You're most welcome @R4L!

 

@dybbuk - did your improvisation work out okay? If you can think of a way it could be explained even clearer, please let me know.

When it was laid out on the X and Y axis, linking it to Z I didn't understand, so I just made the ceiling heights different in Z
