Hi guys -

A simple mission editor tutorial for the Delta Force community. Hopefully someone will watch this and learn something from it, or ask me questions.

Enjoy:

Good post. It's always educational to see how others build.

Thank you very much, Crazy Horse! I'm happy to hear that you enjoyed the video. Hopefully new mappers will learn something new from the video.

Just a short list of the hotkeys I know of.


CTRL+SHIFT while using arrow keys will allow you to move object's in cm's instead of meters.

SHIFT and dragging the mouse will allow you to select mutli object's.

Instead of right clicking and press MOVE, you can press M on your keyboard after selecting an object.

Wireframe mode is best used for depth view's especially if your making tunnels.

Easy ladders! make sure your ladder is ONE ladders width away from the buildings or objects ledge.

group placement - really nice if your making a forest or laying out foliage.

These basic's help a lot.

I think that almost everyone know this but we always get new people in the map making world: Press U to unselect all instead of clicking in 'Unselect All' box.

I am positive that players would have their interest in mapping increased because of your VID. It is always pleasing to watch your stuff. You have a good voice for it and you sound patient and friendly.
