We've got threads like these all the time.. and in stickies as well... but noob mappers just don't learn anyway! sigh

Not true. I am sorta a noob mapper but I get how to use everything in Hammer and I do use them. Now if there were a tutorial to expand your attention span that would be nice. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

It looks like a good thread.. I only found it just now (still can't search... <!--emo&:angry:--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/mad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='mad.gif' /><!--endemo--> )


Could this get a sticky? I second the topic starters idea

Yes it is good for noobs, but there are many like this and also many of the links in posted above are out of date now. only one of the NS-specific tutorial ones works anymore.
