Pr mapping for beginners?

Post by Ason »

Are there any tutorials for creating simple maps for PR? I have created some vbf2 maps and i feel i got most of it, at the moment I know how to create terrain,heightmap,controlpoints,spawnpoints, under/overgrowth etc, the basics. I still don't know much about Lightmapping, Envmaps and how to create the minimap and stuff like that.
Do you think that is enough to move on to learn the basics of PR mapping? I want to basically be able to create a simple map which i can start and test :P

Good luck. And unlike me, try to stick with a simple project as your first try. Otherwise you're going to spend triple of the time screwing up due to inexperience.

thx , only problem is, that wasthe tutorial i was following, and i got to Roads intersection in the moderate tutorials part. it only tells you how to create vbf2 maps,I don't know how controlpoints and diffrent game modes works when doing pr maps, so i would need a tutorial which focuses only on PR mapping for beginners, one that explains how to use diffrent game modes etc in the editor.

Everything you should need (especially for simple maps) is there... but you may have to read through several tutorials to get what you need.

As the others have said, the making process is excatly the same for the most part, the only real difference is in how the map is setup.
