Talk about lose us a member :P

I can tell you just as much as modsonline, without the hassle ;)

And personally, I can also give answer and opinion, where most of MO will give you only the answer.

In this case, the opinion would be, that if you are new to mapping then you should at least give it a while before you touch the scripting. Without mapping knowledge, you wont be able to apply the scripting.
I would first recommend reading something that MO will not tell you (as I wrote it exclusive here :P)

And thats the Thinking about creating a map? thread from the stickies.
After reading that I would recommend you get use to the editor, some of the functions, shortcuts and features. This will give you a good understanding of what can be done.

Once you get the hang of brushes and other functions, then you may want to read Caulk and its uses.
In that thread it talks about using caulk, an essential texture. Also in that thread is how to use the clipper and the "side manipulation tool".

Also check out a few more of the stickies above for other helpful topics.

As for the loading screen, I will make a tutorial for it soon :)

Ok ok, got your point, :oops:

Call it my laziness, but i try not to write something, if someone else already wrote it.

they do have good vid tutorials though, all though it took me a long time to dl them all, becouse of the damn slow dl link they have.

no probs :P

Yep, I luckily downloaded all their tuts while they had no caps on downloads :)

Keeping interest in CoDJumper will/may help CJ and also Peds (in future for reference). More hits = possibility of more hosting and interests :)
