Really nice work demo! The only thing that might become a problem now is all the dead links in several of the threads. Maybe we should get all of this shit uploaded to XJ's ftp, if that's possible?
nice tread but i think you should edit and the sites for mapping help
had done it but i don't have modrights on this forum :/
There was a site called kreedz.com
And there were a few tutorials too. Where can I download them? The site is no longer available :(
most of them were already available in here which got transfered to the kreedz.com site
holy shit nice tutorials, all of them are very useful, thanks a lot
holy shit nice tutorials, But I do not know English
Nice tutorials, thanks !
added some nicely made video tutorials. maybe they are helpful for some users.
nice video about curved pipes =] gj demolite and totac2
After seeing ToTac2 at work i was like :O not because of his vertex skills but the speed he does all that stuff.
That`s why i`m asking: can you make a tutorial or something with all the useful key combinations?
he isnt active in here but on thewall.de
but here is a list of all the keyshortcuts.

Overlay and Displacements does not work because they are features of 4.X
thanks dEMolite! i`ll start geeking them as soon as i can.
I need some help ;)
What about LJ? How to know the units? I have created an lj block, but I can't do it, and I belive is an 250! Doing new blocks and testing it every time its sucks...
"make" a block between both blocks (one you jump off and one you land on) and you will see what is the length between these two blocks. so you will see how much closer/further you need one of these blocks to get LJ, you need.
I hope you got the idea, if not I can make some screens.
/sorry for my bad english :\

its simple twix , change ur Grid to 64 and make 4 boxes with it then it will be 256 Jump cus grid = with some words units ..
then u change 64 grid to 1 and u make smaller the box thing and count till from 256 to 250 box/box/box/box/box/box/ if u get me xD and put between that jump other 2 blocks then make them higher than the 250 block and ur done in few words ?:D.
Oh my god, thank you so much!!!
I had been looking for tutorials like this and I am SO GRATEFUL to have joined this community!
I just got the AMXX plugin package and I am SO HAPPY to be able to make videos by myself without the internet needed. :D
