Would it be of any use to..

Would it be of any use to make a complete World Editor tutorial in something like a word or pdf document?

Not just a stupid stack of tutorials or something but a WHOLE tutorial about the World Editor, from the simplest thing like placing objects and making terrain to triggering, scripting and the like.

Simply, everything...

Or would it just be a waste of time?

Anyways, if i would make something like that i would not be able to do it on my own.

I think it would be very useful, since I'm trying to make a map and I don't have very much experience with the Editor. It would definately be +rep from me.

I was thinking of writing a complete toturial on how to make a map. From idea to updates

Useless, a community like Hive has it all, but shattered up + a search engine.

Just go to the tutorials, choose a section and start looking around.

Nobody would bother reading 100 pages through to find EXACTLY what you need.

And if its a noob-tutorial, Hive has lots of thoose too.

Well see that's the problem, everything is scattered around and i noticed people like me who are freaking lazy think a moment about that like ''Hey everything is scattered around, so i need to search bladiebla for what i need'' and the next moment i think ''Fuck this, too much of a pain in the ass why can't they make a complication of it all together or something''

So... that would be the idea, not just how to make a map. Every GUI function explained, every menu explained, the whole World Editor torn apart and completly explained with images and all... Maybe we could make a website... with endless menu's to pick from >.>

I know there are tutorials everywhere, but as you said their all scattered around and... it's just not working like this...

Do it, do it

Such a tutorial could be really useful to beginners at any area within the world editor, so I say, do it, and do it awesome.

I dunno the WE is pretty self explanatory.

 

[The_wand_mirror]

Do it, do it

Well it wouldn't be done in just a few times work on it.

And not everything of the WE is self explanatory, like the AI editor... or all other small functions.

Yes, because you can't search in pdf documents, and there's absolutely no way to add a contents table or an index in a pdf.

Honestly, the search here is fucked up, and the fact all tutorials are shattered doesn't help anything. And when I say search is fucked up, I mean really fucked up. I copy/pasted a thread title of a tutorial, pasted in search, search ONLY in "tutorials" and the actual thread still ended up at page 2 of the results, with a lot of total irrelevant tutorials on page 1.

To make it actually happen, it seems like a very large job one couldn't do alone. You would need contributors on various aspects of the world editor...

Another fact is that, with SC2 being released probably within 2 years, who's going to need a complete tutoral on WE?

Yeah true.

Better make one for SC2.

Because Warcraft owns Starcraft.

 

[The_wand_mirror]

Well yeah maybe in gameplay i can agree, but the SC2 editor has way more functions!

Do it for SC2 when it's out
