That looks great Shadow. All nicely organized into categories. Whoever *ahem me* suggested to do that is obviously a genius. lol
MUCH better than opening a heap of folders named after their respective authors when you are looking for a certain editing aspect of tutorial.

I promise to take an in-depth read of it when I'm more awake.
BTW, I was writing a huge tutorial (in a "chm" help file format) covering most everything I know of MOH editing although I haven't added to it for a couple of months now.
It originated as a help link from my Map Mate program. I should finish it off before starting any new projects.

EDIT: Oops sorry I thought it was editing tutorials. Shows how tired I am. lol

Lmao, yeah this is my MOHAA Guide, not the Tutorials pack xD
However I uploaded my new Tutorials Pack (V1.3) on xNULL! https://www.x-null.net/forums/showth...OHAA-TUTORIALS
That one is still organized by Author, for various reasons (1. I don't have the expertise to sort everything into categories, some things are easy ofc. but some are very difficult, 2. I don't want to rip tutorials apart just to separate them into different categories/folders, and I also don't want to copy complete tutorials into different folders.. that would just create a mess and a way larger file size, 3. Most people know tutorials by their author or website (e.g. .MAP, The Rjukan Project, Nemesis Tutorials), 4. I really do not have the time nor patience to categorize everything and figure out what belongs into what category and how to do it).

However, if anyone wants to categorize it differently, be my guest, I would ofc. welcome it I personally just can't do it.

Also, to accommodate for better locating of files, I did create a Table of Contents which shows all files in every folder, and every chapter and sometimes subchapter in every document! This should help to increase the 'searchability' of what you're looking for, and you can just browse through it without opening every folder ofc.

I also spotted your chm file a few weeks ago and added it to that package already

Anyways, let's keep this post about my Guide only! Haha

Yikes, it's far from being ready. I have made lots of changes since the last upload. :O
I only uploaded it to help a new mapper I was tutoring.

Anyways, let's keep this post about my Guide only! Haha

Gotcha.
If there's one thing you can count on with ol' man Acca is that he'll never stray off topic or hijack a thread. Oh that reminds me of the time ...... lol

Shadow's guide, Shadow's guide, Shadow's guide, Shadow's guide.
