Nice job, Dan. Can't wait to buy the book.

this is very respectful job you did, i always gather any tiniest useful tutorials, manuals or guides for 3DGS and this project goes into my folder too (:

5 stars

..oh,so the full version of this book will not be for free?
..anyway,your book is one of the most complete (even though it's not,for now)and informative manual in the 3DGs community,because you have covered almost all the basics of level editing; so i think in the latest chapters you should add tips and tricks on creating more advanced and specific levels/level objects. (ex. RPG themed, Futuristic, etc.)
..keep up the good work!

This is a very generous giveaway. I do have a suggestion though, (I havent read the manual yet however.) WED is meant to create levels with blocks, but many users, myself at least, also make levels using MDLs as environments.Perhaps you can cover this, for those who dont know how. I guess this is very code- dependant, so couldnt be completely covered in the WED manual, but the book should at least give some basics on how this can be achieved: using imported models and poly-level collision. LOL.

Yung,

Thank you for your comments, however, please realize that this PDF file is exactly what it says it is ... a MANUAL for WED. In other words, it covers the application WED and nothing more. There is no information on level design or anything like that. The complete book that I am writing, on the other hand, will cover various level design techniques.

I really appreciated the free manual, so thanks! However I knew most of it already, but then again I might not really have been part of your targeted audience, still I didn't know everything off course...

I just wondered though, could you also post like 1,2 or 3 pages of your book in progress on level design as a preview on what to expect? I'd like to know how you approach the design topic and I wonder if it would be something for me too to consider buying lateron when it's finished.

Cheers

i took a quick look at it and my criticism is (since you asked for more comments) that there is too much unnecessary prose. i like manuals with a more concise writing style. i think i am not really part of the target group though.
