Thanks, still very basic, but I will upload it a lot.
Maybe you can make a small tread about mapping?

Milkshape that I use is the easiest way and if u search is a freeware too....(keygen)

Well Im not sure people here want to learn mapping, at least no one posted it here, but I will open it now .

I will make later a very basic unit making tutorial. It is just a summary of multiple tutorials and downloading places for tools, but I will also explain some question I had myself and were difficult to find.
