Complete Map Making Tutorial: Done

[knorke]

Tutorial mostly explains how to use the L3DT software with photoshop and some other tools.
The spring specific parts are outdated or links to wiki.

The links are broken (both 404 and unreadable because no url-tags)

http://spring.unknown-files.net/file/17 ... _Tools_V3/

There are better tutorials on the wiki though none is imo really good either. They could be remixed into one tutorial.
This attempts to create a "complete tutorial on XY" are kind of fail, it is excactly why Spring is so confusing. The tutorials try to cover every aspect but are never really complete and you have to hunt for informations in long texts. Stuff gets explained in multiple places slightly different and of course nobody wants to ever update that as well.
Structure by seperating into multiple pages.

Map Development should really be seperated into 2 parts:
Designing maps:
-tutorials on various terrain software
-specific guides such as how to make mountains
-Mapping/Tex with the World In Conflict Map Editor
...

Getting the map ingame:
-compiling via mapconv
-folder structure
-pixel sizes of heightmap/texturemap etc
-features
...

Some informations hidden inside the various tutorials should be its own page eg:
The Sun System/Shadow System
Then link to it.

I see you edited some map tutorials, correcting links to mapconv and such. imo that is a lost effort at the moment because first the mapping stuff needs to be better structured. Otherwise you end up correcting the same mistakes in a dozen times pages. (vergebliche Liebesmühe)

that was a cleanup while reading it. didn't take much time... most (maybe all) currently map-tutorials can be imo deprecated... i removed the part in the tutorials, where they describe each tool with the command line parameters and created dedicated pages for that (MapConv, MapConvNG, Mothers MapConv).
