Glad these are of some help.
<br /><br />In most cases (see Ladder, Glass), there is not really much to know, but as always the right pointer is important. Some things that could be interesting:
<br /><br />- Teleporter
<br />- Proper clipping (playerclip?!)
<br />- How to add a Model to the map (trivial, but had me stumped for a while).
<br />- etc.
<br /><br />I will look into the other Tutorials by MNeMiC and see what can be done. Some things like a long video tutorial at PlanetDOOM on Portals, would be pretty difficult to do just verbally. But a few shots and who knows <img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20121023004532im_/http://www.doom3world.org/phpbb2/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" title="Smile" /><br /><br />Next a cleaned up version of: How to turn a map into MP, and how to pack everything into a PK4.</div><br><hr><br/>Rayne@Posted: Tue Sep 07, 2004 12:03 pm : <div class="postbody">Thickness fog is not changed by resize the light entity..

E.g. write up *once* how to texture/create a trigger_once brush, and just reference that. Ditto one on how to link objects.
<br /><br />One last tutorial I might like to add is the one on tiling textures for DOOM 3 in Photoshop.

<br /><br />In most cases (see Ladder, Glass), there is not really much to know, but as always the right pointer is important. Some things that could be interesting:

<br />- etc.
<br /><br />I will look into the other Tutorials by MNeMiC and see what can be done. Some things like a long video tutorial at PlanetDOOM on Portals, would be pretty difficult to do just verbally.

<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Key: shaderparm3
<br />value:  xxxxx
<br /><br /><br />where xxxxx is a number: more high is the value, less dense is the fog. A value of 10000 create a cool fog effect (but i still have problems with it - see topic "Am i dumb or what?")</div><br><hr><br/>AEon@Posted: Tue Sep 07, 2004 1:43 pm : <div class="postbody">Rayne,
<br />the fog density was from the videos. I had experimented with fog as well and had not been able to change the density. Thanx for the tip... updating the above.</div><br><hr><br/>Rayne@Posted: Tue Sep 07, 2004 1:48 pm : <div class="postbody">

<br />glad you like the post. Just downloaded some of your other Tutorials, will try to add those as well.</div><br><hr><br/>sanctuary@Posted: Tue Sep 07, 2004 8:48 pm : <div class="postbody">Wow... Those are awsome.  Hopefully as people learn more they will post more mini tuts like these.  Great job man.</div><br><hr><br/>AEon@Posted: Wed Sep 08, 2004 9:48 pm : <div class="postbody">I just updated the first post with 4 new tutorials, pretty much covering every video tutorial by MNeMiC, except those about patches that IMO should be known to Radiant users from Q3A times.
<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold">Updates</span><ul><li> Fixed/Updated parts of the tutorials are marked with <span style="color: darkred">*</span>.</li></ul><br /><span style="font-weight: bold">New Tutorials</span><ul><li> *Trigger Doors - Use Monitor GUI to open Doors</li><li> *Trigger an Explosion</li><li> *SP - Trigger a Monster Spawn</li><li> *SP - Wake up a Zombie</li></ul><br /><br />Presently I am thinking of possibly streamlining the tutorials a bit more. E.g. write up *once* how to texture/create a trigger_once brush, and just reference that. Ditto one on how to link objects.
<br /><br />One last tutorial I might like to add is the one on tiling textures for DOOM 3 in Photoshop.
<br /><br />Well... post what you think.</div><br><hr><br/>AEon@Posted: Thu Sep 09, 2004 6:29 pm : <div class="postbody">So what else to add... *muse*...</div><br><hr><br/>MNeMiC@Posted: Thu Sep 09, 2004 6:46 pm : <div class="postbody">I have made 2 new tutorials which aint out yet, but they will be soon =)
<br /><br />Also I have plans on about 15 others, just need some time =D</div><br><hr><br/>AEon@Posted: Fri Sep 10, 2004 10:45 am : <div class="postbody">MNeMiC,
