The idea of this board is for people to come and request assistance with various aspects regarding the engine. Assistance may be offered in for variety of things, from texturing, to scripting; complex modeling, layout, lighting, etc.
I hope to be able to help those who need it.

If you need a hand learning something, be sure to check under the tutorials section prior to asking. You may find what you need.
If you do not find what you need, a post under this board can be made, detailing the area or subject in which you require assistance. Please format the topic name in a way to describe what you need as clearly as possible, in a formal manner.
-Either myself, or another forum member will try to post a reply explaining how to go about doing what you are asking, in as much detail as necessary and in an easily understandable post. If that fails, a short co-op session may be arranged; or we may be able to show you right away in co-op.

Be patient for replies.
