Where does a nooby start? I haven't made a mission for anything since Half Life 1 and I was only the greenest of novices at that. I've played games forever and Thief has always been a favorite of mine. I'm inbetween games right now and am kinda waiting on Diablo 3 or Cataclysm for warcraft so I'd like to develop mapmaking as a hobby. I'm getting ready to google a downloadable copy of Thief 3 (my discs are garbage so I guess I'll buy a digital download somewhere I hope) and have downloaded DarkRaidant 1.0.2 I didn't land in a place that seems to be "Noobs start here" or obviously missed the thread somewhere I apologize. But here are a couple things I'd like to know; -What tools do I need to begin? -Any kind of a tutorial or a good beginner's read I'm missing here on this website? I appreciate the time spent helping me, if my email isn't included on my profile and you don't want to reply here you can email me at "Mousewing84@hotmail.com"
