Amtut

Right then its been decided, I'm gonna (hopefully) create a complete module tutorial which will include a few things which ain't in Amtut. I'll let you guys know when the first part is ready.

Stormwell55- Soon to lose his sanity

 

sorry about that du. i didn't mean to be so bitchy, its just that i get a little carried away sometimes. i do understand that you put a lot of effort into amtut, and i do appreciate it. i am sorry and i hope that you can forgive me.

 

Attention everyone, the first step has been taken (ie getting the website started up). The first part of the Stormwell Arcanum Module Tutorial (SAMTUT, at least I didn't go for the Rookie one (RAMTUT)). View here for the SAMTUT

 

samtut

I was talked into doing this my a certian person on the House of Lords forum, mainly becuase they wasn't pleased with Dark Underlord's own incomplete Arcanum Module Tutorial (AMTUT)

had a look at the site looks ok so far. i thought that part of your intro, pasted above was quite interesting hope that you keep up the good work.

P.s I would like to apologise to DU again, it really was a good tutorial. if i could take back my ealier post then i would as i do realise that it took a lot of work to get up to where you got up to. i am sure that i could not have done what you did half as well. i again ask humbly for your forgiveness.

 

cheers

 

You know, if I wrote a tutorial like that, I'd reccomend starting with the 'void plains' because then you could fill each sector individually. And you still don't get plants.

Just a tip.

 

Re: samtut

Apologise for what? Saying it's incomplete? It is. No harm there.

SAMTUT looks like a good start. I hope you keep at it through to the final part.

 

Re: samtut

Try writing an AMTUT tutorial yourself. Its to be HARD work after the first few chapters, I'd think.

 

The next bit should be up later to day (monday) hopefully!

 

samtut

hey, how is samtut coming along? i would like to go onto the site and see how it is coing but i can't remember the link for it. if you could post it here that would be great. then i can go and see what it is like at this moment.

 

Re: samtut

Well, so far, there's Part 1, Chapter 1 which is a rehash of things I already covered in Amtut. I'd expect it to move onto more things I've already covered (presuming he actually gets back to it) before he eventually reaches the things he can't do (like dialogue and scripting and quests) where-by he'll give up. Which is actually about the time I gave up because I couldn't be bothered any more.

Really, someone should just write a simple quest tutorial.

 

Hey DU how come you didn't get back to me, I sent you that incredibly long-winded letter?
I was thinking about about it when I was going through your tutorial, nd I think your problem, which might trouble stormwell too, is that your too good you can't relate. You know how to do it, and the parts us noobs get stuck on don't connect with you b/c you do them so often it's easy.
Even though I am a pitiful noob unworthy of life, I am offering to help for samtut, If it's needed.

 

samtut

stormwell55 i think that DU is right in this case it would be good for you if you went over certain parts that aren't covered in amtut.

 

Ok DU thanks for the advice, I'll sort it out as soon as I can. I've been bust lately now that I'm off college for summer and doing full time at work.

 

amut

Where can I find this tutorial? I am thinking about learning to MOD.

 

cobrec

its probably better to start off with amtut as it contains most things that you need to create a basic mod. samtut has only just been started so there is not much of it.

 

Re: cobrec

SAMTUT is somewhat incomplete and I will be redoing it. However I don't like the idea of running Yahoo Pagebuilder (geocities) on my 56K modem which is very likely to 'die' on me again.

It has been 'dead' for two years (don't ask!).
