Tutorial section suggestion

[Neonstar]

Hi all. I just wanted to pitch the possibility of a tutorial section for amateur modders. I'm trying to learn MML scripting at the moment and I though how good it could be if there was a forum for tutorials, so people could post tutorials of stuff they figure out how to do. We could also have a sticky post for known websites with documentation or tips and tricks for programs like Forge and Anvil, etc. Is there already one around? (Besides the few links on the forum FAQ)

I feel it is better you just ask the question you are struggling with for the particular topic, and have that be the thread. I've also seen general threads where a person walks through their map creation process as they discover how to build switches etc. That keeps the discussion focused. I don't feel there's the demand for a tutorial only forum, or rather, the aforementioned threads are not cluttering up the current space enough.

Here's a good starting point. It's a few years old now, so it doesn't mention newer stuff like Vasara, but it should cover the bulk of things for the aspiring scenario maker.

Well, I certainly went looking for such things and didn't find them, which means there's at least a tiny demand for it. As I become familiar with them, should I start compiling these resources into some kind of collection?

I see no harm in doing that. I mean, the greatest risk would be being redundant, but so what?

*shrugs* True. I don't like stepping on toes, especially as a n00b, so a little caution is warranted. If somebody knows of a good collection somewhere, it'd probably speed things up for me, as I could just vet said collection for broken links and such, and add it wholesale to my catalogue.

In many cases, I can probably just download the whole thing. Youtube videos and web pages, for example. I've nowhere to host them, of course, but that's another matter.
