well if this thred confused u at all, just look here & its all fixed up & explained in detail.. http://www.infinityward.com/community/forum/index.php?topic=32444.0

That method will "work" but it uses redundant files and folders.

For a more efficient way read my post.

P.S. This topic has been done NUMEROUS TIMES already.

Actually this thread was posted a few days ago, it was on the first page and therefore relevent imho. If the tutorials were correct - sans redundant files and folders - we wouldnt have to make these threads in the first place?

As stated previously, while others might be comfortable scripting, its errors like that which throw noobs like myself out of the loop. It really doesnt hurt to post it again, LPRays link put me back on track, without stuff like that id still be posting more threads asking why it didnt work.

With the correct info, ive been able to acquire a LOT more knowledge on scripting and saved time searching, therefore doing more important stuff, like making maps!

My point exactly.

If the search option was used with the words FX and tutorial it would have turned up atleast a dozen threads that have already been started and resolved.

Frankly, if theres an active thread on the front page addressing my enquiry im going to use that before i start searching, as stated, this thread helped me precisely because it was on the fp - and believe me, i put in my fair share of searches - we all do.

All im saying is Radiant isnt the most user friendly program ever made, and if a popular subject keeps appearing, is it any wonder when the tutorial isnt correct in the first place? Fix the tutorial, end the problem. Saves everyone raping the forum bandwith and database with unnecessary searches.

Harkonin, I have been mapping for a long time. I have been using the "SEARCH" feature for a long time. I used it here, I have used it at infinityward as well. I know how to search. I always know how to try tutorials posted here and elsewhere. I also know when they do and dont work.

You posted about my tutorial here and over there that the topic has been done to death. Personally I dont care if some people like you have deemed the subject dead and buried. The simple fact remains that people are still struggling with aspects of radiant.

I spent two days researching and building test maps with the associated files. Through trial and error I found something that works and I spent the time and effort to present it in a manner that, though you dont approve of, is simple for people to follow and achieve the result desired.

Personally I dont know if your solution as posted under my post at infinityward will work or not. Im no longer interested in finding out. What I did find out from my research is that the manner that I did it up and the procedures shown within follow what infinityward recommends as being the proper way as stated by them in one of the articles that I read. That is good enough for me and apparently others because as stated by others in this particular thread it worked for them.

That is good enough for me. It worked for others. I have not seen one post here or elsewhere saying that my tutorial doesnt work or that there are errors in it that cause confusion or no effect to happen.

What does that tell you about my tutorial?

If your way works then great, good for you. So instead of chasing me around the internet pointing out what you think is flawed or unnecessary with my tutorial why not make one of your own and prove that it works by having people use it and report back that it does work.

In the meantime I will be happy with my results and the results of others that it has helped.
