Where can i find "Accountant 1" ?
-
What exactly was the problem you experienced here?
see the screenshot attached,
- there is no 'Lum:' (luminosity) ... as the guide explains
- or or using the slider to the far right. ... there is no slider.
- regarding: http://wiki.thedarkmod.com/index.php?title=A_-_Z_Beginner_Full_Guide_Page_2#Adjusting_the_Light
- there is no In Entity Inspector select '_color' ...
- and you can just type it in at the bottom and 123 in the box below and click the tick(check) button. is not available either

The grey spawnargs are inherited, which means that they are taken from the definition file. When you click on it, the respective spawnarg is chosen below the "main" window. When you now type another value and click the button at its right (or simply hit enter on your keyboard), the inherited value will not change. Instead a new spawnarg with the same name and the new value will be created. You can see that, when you untick "Schow inherited properties". The newly created spawnarg will overwrite the inherited one. The grey ones do not get overwritten, so you can easily check the orignal value, and when you delete the new spawnarg the inherited one is still there, not breaking your entity due to a missing spawnarg.
thanks i saw it now that you mention it, i think this should be added to the guide.
i also found another one right now while following instructions... the "L" for light inspection is completely changed and does not adhere to instructions at all, the guide gives explanations which are super outdated and not available in the way it is explained, so i had to just figure it out myself, please take a look at these 2:
(you will notice how it speaks of settings and steps that are non-existent)

the light brightness settings steps, mentioned once in page 1 and again for now as i am following the guide, on page 2 as i just gave the 2 links where the steps are wrong

That's why I asked mikulabc, if he could point to sections that are out of date or confusing as he is apparently currently working with it and can give a newcomer's view on it.
http://wiki.thedarkmod.com/index.php?title=A_-_Z_Beginner_Full_Guide_Page_2#Functioning_Entities
where it says:
- In the box at the bottom change the team from 3 to 0 which is the player's 'team' and click the check button at its right.
this part is grey and cannot be changed, how do i change it if it does not let me?
-
Wow. It sounds like the guide is quite out of date. Thanks for the heads up.
If the game is getting more attention since it is on Steam now, it would be wise to update the baby steps in a join venture (a-z guide) for the newest dark radiant version?

I don't have access from this computer, I will have anotehr look this evening.
Thanks, this is very appreciated!
One little thing that confused me just a tiny bit was the Doom.exe that made no sense to me, since the game is Standalone and it is mentioning Doom it was quite confusing, there were thoughts going through my head like "did i miss installing doom?" just on a sidenote.

one more thing... the guide explains now 2x the same thing, in "Dmap: Compiling the Mission" the same info from the Folder Structure is mentioned in a different way, maybe this note should be added for the reader, so the reader does not get confused by the same thing mentioned again at the end?
-
Ok, I have deleted the other Edit and added a new section "Folder Structure".
Thanks a lot!! It would be easy to read if it were bullet points separating each step, it is currently 1 fat paragraph, if that can be made in bullet points you are the hero! i wish i could change it but i cannot sign up as editor for the wiki
again, thx a lot
-
Do you think this is sufficient or should it be more elaborate?
It needs more info, you are probably also a dark radiant veteran, I am not getting smart from the additional line, it would be good if the content of the video word by word is added somehow so the user is not confused at all, since there is a lot of information already, this is only my opinion as a newbie to dark radiant, still confused, like i mentioned, the video did the trick, it answered all my questions, hope it helps

I decided to try DarkRadiant and followed the instructions word by word until i got to the "dmap compiling" part here:
The problem I was facing as a beginner is that the instructions were not enough, the path were mixed and shown forward and backward "\", "/" for folder structure.
Then i tried to get smart from here http://forums.thedarkmod.com/topic/15152-darkradiant-and-darkmod-shortcut-folder-settings/ and still could not get the test to work, luckily, just in time this video came out https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hpkkE681TPo and i followed the steps EXACTLY as the video was explaining word by word and i managed to start my test mission, so i would like you to update the page "Dmap:_Compiling_the_Mission" http://wiki.thedarkmod.com/index.php?title=A_-_Z_Beginner_Full_Guide_Start_Here!#Dmap:_Compiling_the_Mission explanation for other newcomers how to do the first testrun of the level so they do not get frustrated like me
I could see that i am not the first one to run into trouble at exactly this part of the A-Z guide, in my opinion this is the most important part, even if it sounds logical to the veteran dark radiant users out there
anyhow, this is my first post in the forum so i just wanted to contribute this part as "feedback" so the A-Z can be improved at the right places for new users
