[raises hand] I'll watch it! :)
Can't quite shake the SS2 urge.

Okite yo! Bideo ga hoshi desu!

Mind translating, since I can't find a decent Romaji-to-English translation tool? I know "hoshi" is "star" or "planet"...that's about it.

ummm...
I was telling him to wake his ass up so I can watch his video....nothing to do with stars or planets but maybe it has a double meaning. I've never had to say anything space related before lol.

Not even the half of it. It would be infinitely useful.
Dark Star, I've been trying to get this to happen for a while now and I got MrTrip on board before he sort of dissappeared. I highly recommend collaborating with him since he may very well have a lot of it done already. Last I heard he was well on his way. I asked him to make chapters pertaining to the primary features of a functional mission with objectives, traps, scripts, s&r, you name it. These things need to be illustrated badly IMO.
I jumped on the Windows 7 train, and ShockEd nor System Shock 2 run anymore.
Fail.

Win7 business and ultimate have virtualized XP SP3 built in though so maybe there's still hope.
The video can be found (

As I said, as the first one, this one covers the very basics and not much else. Let me know if I'm doing this right :)

I think that video could have done with a script written in advance...
If you only single-click on the number boxes instead of double-clicking on them, everything starts off highlighted and you can just type to overwrite it - you don't need to delete what's there first.
You also didn't talk about how you can move/scale/rotate brushes with shift/ctrl/alt dragging the mouse, which is probably easier for people to comprehend when first learning DromEd.
rachel on 26/4/2009 at 14:16
Right. I had a "stuff to include" list but no real script, and indeed it shows... I agree it's probably better that I write one for the second vid.
re the brushes shortcuts, thanks for the reminder. I never use these actually (I do my tuning from the XYZ/HPB/DWH section exclusively) so it didn't even occur to me. I'll try to remember that later on.
edit: by the way, is my speech intelligible enough? Pronunciation and stuff? That's one of my big worries. (In addition to stopping repeating "basically" every two sentences. :p)

I'm afraid that you do sound like English isn't your primary language, mostly with somewhat unusual sentence structure here and there, but you're certainly understandable.
I still stubbornly think that "Jorge" is supposed to be pronounced "Djorg" instead of the proper Spanish "Hor-hay", though. :p
As for the mouse brush shortcuts, I don't use them much either, but they should certainly be explained. I'd also say to include the nudge tools, (e.g. numpad to slide things around) but I'm not 100% sure if those are default keyboard shortcuts (though they are in the ShockEd Toolkit).
