Missing: AM16's Ultimate Guide to Water.

[Tannar]

Thanks, Larry! I've added it. It's only hosted on Mediafire. If you know of any other host, let me know. Ricebug's mirror in the forum thread is no longer working.

[LarryG]

Since it's a zip file, can't TEG host it?

[Tannar]

I don't know. I'll look into it.

Thank you, clearing! I've added the link.

I've moved my tutorial about the loadout store, so here are the new links:

[Tannar]

Thanks. I'll update them after work today.

Edit: Done.

Hi,
I´m currently gathering info on mission building and found that all links to jasonotto.net point to a new site obviously giving inspiration for furniture. As many of his tutorials seemed to be hosted only on his site, are they lost now ? I did not give the way back machine a try, just wanted to ask if someone saved the docs on another server.
Kind regards,
Jörg

[Tannar]

I can't answer your question, but there's some relevant info in this post and the two after it.

[Dev_Anj]

I figured out how to make a fade in teleport after Yandros mentioned using tnhscript and NVScript. I see that it hasn't been documented well however and is a bit of work, so I made a tutorial mission demonstrating it, as well as instructions on how to make it. Here they are:

Both tnhscript and NVScript should be loaded, and Allow EndGame should be selected in the Game Mode menu.

1. Make two trap triggers.

2. Give one the TrapFadeOut script and the other the TrapRenderFlash script in the fields created by the S->Scripts property.

3. Set the "on=xx"(xx meaning a number) property under Editors->Design Note for the first trigger. This defines how much time it takes to black out in milliseconds.

4. Link the second trigger to an archetype of the flash where the Red, Green and Blue values are set to 0 with the RenderFlash flavour. This must be in the Object Hierarchy menu, not a Flash FX edited in the world, else it won't work. I learned this the hard way.

5. Make a new trap trigger, preferably call it something like TrapReverse.

6. Give it the TrapRevert script in the script fields.

7. Go to Scripts->Timing and write a value there. This is the number of milliseconds the screen will remain blacked out.

8. Link the previous two triggers to this one with the ControlDevice flavour.

9. Make two trap triggers, preferably call them something like RelayTriggers.

10. Give them the NVRelayTrap script in the script field.

11. Make a teleport trap where you want the player to be teleported. Refer to http://web.archive.org/web/200807090...s/teleport.asp to learn how to make a functional teleporter.

12. Link one to the teleport trap and the other to the TrapReverse named script using the ControlDevice flavour.

13. Specify the time the teleport will be delayed using "NVRelayTrapDelay=xx"(again, xx is a number) under the Design Note field of
the Relay Trigger linked to the teleport trap. The number is the time the teleport will be delayed in milliseconds.

14. Link the object which will trigger this setup to the Relay Trigger linked to the Trap Reverse script using the ControlDevice flavour.

15. Link the Relay Trigger linked to the Trap Reverse to the Relay Trigger linked to the teleport trap.

16. Now go in game mode and observe what happens.

Also note that the detailed instructions above are to make it friendly for Dromed newcomers.

A Huge Collection of Tutorials
Description/keywords: A large selection of tutorials covering most aspects of mission building. Includes All DromEd Central Tutorials as of its creation.
Found at:
JasonOtto.net: Misc. Tutorial Package

That link took me to a page of furniture. Guess it need to be updated.

[redleaf]

Under Traps ad Triggers, the 2 Komag links are bad.

- Choose Your Own Object - A Tutorial on Traps by Komag (stored in demo zip)
Description/keywords: This tutorial and demo will illustrate the use and purpose of various traps in DromEd; it demonstrates the use of traps such as relay traps, revert traps, require-all traps, etc.

Forum thread: New T2 demo mission (Darkloader ready) - Traps, with tutorial

[The Phantom]

Thanks for pointing this out, redleaf.

Some tutorials are only hosted on a single website, so there's the risk of losing a tutorial when the site goes down. I can't say this is a bad thing or not, as some tuts might be obsolete now with NewDark or might not be of much use anyway. If not I recommend others to upload them on their sites as a precaution.

In this case, perhaps someone else still has it stored for you?

[Tannar]

Thanks, I know about the dead links for KOMAG and Jason Otto, since neither of those sites are up any longer. I'll fix them as soon as I have the time. It would be nice, as Phantom says, if someone else could host any that were only found on those sites.

[redleaf]

I'll go through my archives. It seems like I have tons of tuts on CDs and DVDs and external hard drives. If I can find some of the missing ones, maybe I could put them in my Dropbox? I don't have a website for this stuff.

[redleaf]

Hey, I found that Massive Collection of DromEd Tutorials on a backup CD! I placed it in my Dropbox, but I'm not sure how to share that folder via the Guild.

DANG IT! Burned another good pot - sacrificed to the gods of NewDark.

[redleaf]

Here is what's in that collection. Obviously I need to clean it up a bit. I renamed many of them, and there is some duplication.

I placed it in my Dropbox, but I'm not sure how to share that folder via the Guild.

Right-click on the file and then Share Dropbox Link, then paste it here.

[redleaf]

Okay - I'll post the link now, and clean up the list later

https://www.dropbox.com/sh/arb3hiruh...7B3Kke90a?dl=0

[redleaf]

The demo list is cleaned up. Is the link working?

[redleaf]

FYI: The links to the pictures in both copies of GayleSaver's "Usefullness of the Multibrush" tutorial are broken. If anyone has them archived, maybe they can be fixed?

[Unna Oertdottir]

http://web.archive.org/web/200304171...s/usefulmb.htm

[baeuchlein]

Several links of the very first post of this thread seem to be broken, most notably all of the links in the "Tutorial Categories" section.

[Yandros]

Yes, I believe that happened fairly recently when an update to the forum software made embedded HTML unsupported for security reasons. I'll look into replacing them by hand with full URL's.
