Hey!

I am Jdawgg (site manager of www.rtcwfiles.com) but more known for my video tutorials. I made some video tutorials for Doom 3, and made a large collection of videos for Call of Duty which never resulted because Wyatt Earp beat me to the chase :).

Anyway, there are a slough of new mappers trying to learn the Call of Duty Radiant as well as Doom 3 Radiant. I am offering the first-even live and interactive tutor session. Depending on its success, I may or may not hold more sessions on more advanced mapping. However, I am setting up a service where, if interested, a new mapper can connect to my computer via a free remote accessing program called RealVNC where they will be able to watch, and listen to my commentary (over TeamSpeak) different lessons in mapping. They will also be able to ask questions live, and might be able to interact with the editor on my computer, so if I want I can allow them to recreate what I just tought.

This service would be a 1 to 1 event. Sort of a first-come, first-serve basis. If you get a hold of me before everyone else, you will be first in line. However, if there are 4 or 5 others waiting to have their 1 on 1 session, you will have to wait probably about a week before I get down the line to your spot.

To start, you will have to go to www.realvnc.com and download their software. It's important to note that it is not necessary to fill out ANY of the fields they request. If you'd like, you simply select the FREE version of the software, and move on to selecting your platform (OS) and download type (zip or exe). You will need the VNC Viewer Program, so no need to download the Server + Viewer bundle.

Next, you will have to go to www.goteamspeak.com and download their voice-chat software. It is also free, and is mirrored on the front page in the upper-right hand corner. You will need the TS2 Client installed, and can disregard the TS2 Server. You will need only speakers, but if you want to ask questions you will need a microphone.

It is highly recommended the person downloads and installs both pieces of software before sending me an e-mail, because I will schedule a time and date that best fits their availability, and will simply provide connection information for both VNC and TeamSpeak, and they will be expected to do the rest. None of this is rocket science, so some independence is needed by the tutee to have the necessary software installed in order to take part in the tutoring sessions. If you are unprepared, you may lose your spot in line.

So, you want to learn how to make a map using the Call of Duty or Doom 3 Radiant? You have all the necessary software that I require? Okay then, shoot me an e-mail and we will schedule a time where we can get together. My e-mail is jdawgg@sollice.net and you are welcome to register for any type of tutoring session. Now I am not god, if I am unsure of a topic I might not be able to give you the lesson, but you wont know until you ask!

I hope this service is helpful, and I look forward to training a new generation of eager mappers!
Regards,
Jdawgg
