Popular Post moonsense715 Posted March 19, 2015 Popular Post Report Share Posted March 19, 2015 Hello citizens of the W3D world! Today is the day when we open the gates of the W3D Tutorials section of the forum to everyone. We promised a tutorials database back in February when the website has launched and we have achieved just that. This new forum area will hopefully help everyone who is looking to learn how to use the W3D Engine! About the tutorials Back in 2002, when C&C Renegade was released, Westwood provided the community a little "HowTo" package that explained how to create your own vehicles, characters, weapons, etc. for the W3D Engine. Shortly after, the community created lots of tutorials themselves. The biggest of the sites hosting them is not reachable anymore, but Läubi's Renhelp website is still alive and kickin'! These tutorials helped to expand everyone's knowledge of the W3D Engine and provide step by step instructions on how to to make your creations come to life within the game! So what's new? We have been working hard to revive old, forgotten and deleted tutorials by locating, reformatting and updating them. With help from oxi and Strike we were able to recover a lot of the tutorials that used to be on MP-Gaming.com's forums. All of these tutorials, new and old, are either free to distribute (and the authors are credited everywhere) or the original authors have given us permission to re-host them here. The tutorials that we have copied were heavily scrutinised and hand picked by us, as there were a lot of tutorials that were either too poorly written/old or they covered the same/similar game areas. This means that you will not find any low quality tutorials hosted here. More importantly though, there is now a huge amount of completely new tutorials that we can guarantee that you have never ever seen before on other websites! The future We will continue to add tutorials as new features become available in the engine and we will keep our eyes open for your feedback on existing tutorials as well as requests for new ones! If you want to add your own tutorials, go right ahead! Please bear in mind that they will need to be approved by an admin or moderator though! Check out the tutorials section here! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shnappz Posted March 20, 2015 Report Share Posted March 20, 2015 Hey ACK, Is there anyway we could possibly start a "Ask ACK for advice" thread. There are things that come up all the time, little questions and quandries that i'm sure you'd be able to answer pretty swiftly. I'm not sure if i'm the only one that would find this helpful but maybe a "Ask the experts" thread would keep all the questions in one place, rather than starting new topics all the time. Just a thought EDIT: Testing writing the word "A-C-K" Yes... i was right... A-C-K changes to Aircraftkiller lol 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danpaul88 Posted March 20, 2015 Report Share Posted March 20, 2015 Yes... i was right... A-C-K changes to Aircraftkiller lol Probably because that's his (user)name? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shnappz Posted March 20, 2015 Report Share Posted March 20, 2015 yeah... i've just never seen a forum change a shorthand of someones username into the full word? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Synaesthesia Posted March 20, 2015 Report Share Posted March 20, 2015 With good reason Feel free to start a thread asking for advice, I read just about everything here. Don't get me mixed up with being an expert, though. I just do this professionally. It doesn't mean I'm an expert. I'm constantly learning and improving much like anyone else is. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't mean I'm an expert. I'm constantly learning and improving much like anyone else is. Okay, i'll start an "Ask An Expert" Thread. Also, if you do something profesionally you must know your stuff. I am a professional freight forwarding guy and i consider myself an expert 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerad2142 Posted March 20, 2015 Report Share Posted March 20, 2015 He is conventionally annoyed by the "shorthand" version of his name. ΑCK should be happy that he's popular enough to have a nickname, although I guess I can see how αck could be confused with the sound of disgust and that could be annoying. Still I feel like a word replace is a bit excessive, he should just politely ask people to call him ack, I'm sure they'd comply. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synaesthesia Posted March 20, 2015 Report Share Posted March 20, 2015 That word replacement has been around since 2004. Since this forum copied that database and all. The main sticking point is that "aircraftkiller" is two words, not three. Aircraft is one word, not two. The correct abbreviation would be AK, but it's a moot point anyhow since I'm going to have my forum name changed soon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
