[Tutorial for starters] Snake's Scene Map Making Tutorial + Video Tutorial

[White_Snake]

This article is great, thanks for taking the time to write it.

That said, you really need to include stuff about AI meshes; it's not very fun to make a map that bots can't play correctly, and getting that and barriers set up is about half the work in making a polished map for MP or SP.  If you don't make an AI mesh, you're basically leaving a map half-done.

IIRC, there is a good article about that topic over on the older modding forums, which explained the basics of how AI meshes work, how to make them, etc.

Well I'm really only about making the map itself, since the duel server I worked(Nditions) doesn't require AI meshes, and I haven't really worked with them so I'm not the best guy to write about it

You might want to take a look at that process, or people will think this is all you have to do.  Like I said... this is maybe half of the work you really have to do, for anything but MP, humans-only.

Most maps are going to get run with bots at some point, and a lot of wanna-be mappers are working with crews for SP, where it's required if you don't want bots behaving in totally stupid ways 

Moving stuff around and doing the vertex-paint operations to make it all look pretty is the easy part.  Getting it all working nicely with bots is a lot more complicated.

Take a look at the official MP maps, both in object view and AI Mesh view, and you'll see what I mean immediately.

I made this tutorial 1,5 year ago, if people want to know about bot/AI meshes, they have tons of tutorials about it, I dont think I need to come back to Warband just to learn how to add AI meshes do I? I have better things to do in Pharmacology then that u know, no offense but I just dont have the time for it
