Hmm, wierd. I was at their site and I tried out a lot of other links that had "wiki" in them but non of them worked..

oh well, found another tutorial on how to mod for beginners:
http://bfeditor.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=7315 no idea if its good since I've only just started to read it, but it looks fine so far

&#@$#!%* bloody hell. just wanted to dabble in mapping but just tryin means getn a handful of programs and being confronted with a screen full of options. looks like that idea has been killd. instead of a tutorial for beginners can we got a tutorial for DUMMIES. it just seems like im passing by so much important things when i use these tut's, i think the real problel is they just tell u wat to do not how. I made a map i just dont now how i did it. that seems to be a problem with all the tutorials iv had a look at. can any1 derict me to a tutor that explains as it goes and doesnt ask 4 any more programs?
