    Alright, I've heard several times about people who demand a tutorial level or something similar as some people just doesn't read the manual.
    So here's my way of doing it:

    A tutorial button on start.
    MENU
    TUTORIAL - Commanding, Basics, Vehicle Customizing
    Find Servers
    Create Server
    Multiplayer
    Options
    Quit

    So the devs could add it to the menu of Empires, about like the tutorial in Company of Heroes (you click a button, and it shows you about that specific)

    The first tutorial, made by me and Buttery Lobster is located here:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bpCuGued2X4
    Note however that it is in bad quality due youtube, I have a better quality on my HD.

    But that fellow is busy with school now, so I'm just wondering, is there any other fellow that would like to continue these movies with me? If, I seek people who wants to do it, I would only need a few people.
    Script and such would either I or someone else write, Lobster said he could write one if I needed.


    CREDITS/ACTORS/PEOPLE FOOLING AROUND
    Little in each: LordDz
    Writer: Vessboy

    [​IMG]

    For voice recording!


    The script:

    Vess: ''Well Recruit, It seems You made it Past the basics at fort Butters.
    I am Sergeant Vess of Golf squad. I supervise the Motor pool.
    I will Instruct you In the use of the most advanced facility in Exsistance.
    Our Vehicle Factory.''
    [Inserted pic of a VF in a corner, or a greyed out pic of both]

    *Vess gets into a jeep, and emp_recruit follows. They then drive towards the vf and Vess and emp_recruit gets out when close.*

    Inside the VF - Menu part, Vess continues in front of emp_recruit.
    Vess: '' Utilizing the technologies of our research division you can outfit our many
    chassis with weapons, armour and motivation systems to fit your tactical preference.
    How ever which of these augmentations are available to you is up to your Forward commander.
    To access the Vehicle customization screen you simply activate this console
    *stop in talking, looks at menu, turns back*
    ''or Press "V" any where in this facility to bring up your general(?) interface.
    *Turns up VF Screen*
    You start by Selecting the type of chassis, then you'll find your self at the
    out fit screen.
    Start by selecting your desired weapon configurations by dragging the icon to
    an available weapon slot of the same type. Repeat until the weapons suit your liking.
    The armour screen allows you to select a single armour type, and prioritize
    thickness on four sides.
    The engine screen allows you to select which engine variety to use.Each has strengths
    and weaknesses.
    Now mind the weight and cost of your vehicle, if there to high the vehicle will not build.
    And mind you, a vehicle w/out either engine or armour has no place in my motor pool
    and will not be built.
    Finally choose which weapons will fire when triggering primary and secondary fires.
    Also which weapon sets can be selected.
    Now it's ready to be built.
    *Builds BE Med He Tank*
    *Emp_recruit rotates the tank so it faces Vess*
    Vess: ''Unfortunately the empire saw fit to cut the driver training program, so be careful,
    mind your passengers, and watch the heat!
    If your vehicle runs low on ammunition just move close to a nearby,
    *Quick screenshot of armoury, ammo box, or repair pad*
    armoury, ammo box, or repair pad''
    Also to refit your vehicle with newly acquired technologies simply park on the repair pad
    And press "V"
    Learn to drive well And I may even let you into golf squad. Dismissed!
    *Emp_Recruit drives away, Fade out*

    Things marked with '' '' means that's a line.

    So if anyone else feel that they can sound like Vess / a Sergeant, send a sample / the few lines as a pm to me.

    Sweet tutorial. Gotta love the voices and the directions!

    If you wish I could setup some space that allows the hosting of your better versions, without any catch. Might even throw in a divx player on the web that allows a better view plus the possibility of downloading the movie! :)

    Just drop me a pm if you are interested!

    ill continue with u i got n mic but i cant be like the mute sas on leetworld doing head motions and what not.
    also what really messes noobs up is the fact that u got to do lots of things to get ready and most people dont bother reading tuts because they wanna play it quickly, recently my friend started playing he gets fooled up mainly with customization (spawn locations...squads....vehicles....skill points) other then that he can shoot people so hes coming along pretty good.

    The tutorials would be mainly used directly from the game, so space isn't really a problem.
    But if it's okay, maybe we could use your server for some recording?

    And butter_jam, the voices were made before recording, (I'd play them on my mobile phone to sync). That way I got better sound and the lines were already made.

    There is a way to play flash videos from inside of a SRCDS game since GMOD does.

    We need about 4 more of these.
    • Classes and how to use them
    • Vehicle building and driving
    • The object of the game and how to win
    • Commanding
    I'm not sure if my PC can be a camera box. I can certainly put up a server for you guys to use to film.

    I used my computer in the recording, and about all settings was on high.
    As said, lobster is busy.. So anyone have a good script that we can go ahead from?

    Otherwise I'll try to write something.

    Well Recruit, It seems You made it Past the basics at fort Butters.
    I am Sergent Vess of Golf squad. I supervise the Motor pool.
    I will Instruct you In the use of the most advanced facility in Exsistance.
    Our Vehical Factory.
    Utilizing the technoligies of our research division you can outfit our many
    chasis with weapons, armor and motivation systems to fit your tactical preferiance.
    How ever which of these augmentations are availible to you is up to your Forward commander.
    To acces the Vehical customization screen you simply activate this console or
    Press "V" any where in this facility to bring up your neraul inteface.
    You start by Selecting the type of chasis, then you'll find your self at the
    out fit screen.
    Start by selecting your disired weapon configurations by draging the icon to
    an availible weapon slot of the same type. Repeat untill the weapons suit your likeing.
    The armor screen allows you to sellect a single armor type, and prioritize
    thickness on four sides.
    The engine screen allows you to select which engine variety to use.Each has strengths
    and weaknesses.
    Now mind the whight and cost of your vehical, if there to high the vehical will not build.
    And mind you, a vehical w/out either engins or armor has no place in my motor pool
    and will not be built.
    Finnaly choose which weapons will fire when triggering primary and secondary fires.
    Also which weapon sets can be selected.
    Now it's ready to be built.
    Unfortunatly the empire saw fit to cut the driver training program, so be carefull,
    mind your passengers, and watch the heat!
    If your vehical runs low on amunation just move close to a nearby armory, ammo box, or repairpad.
    Also to refit your vehical with newly aquired technolagies simply park on the repair pad
    And press "V"
    Learn to drive well And I may even let you into golf squad. Dissmissed!

    Look at page 1 guys. We need a voice recorder for the character ''Vess''
    The orginal Vess was going to do.. Vess but Vess mic broke down.

    So if anyone else feel that they can sound like Vess / a Sergeant, send a sample / the few lines as a pm to me.

    I would help ingame (play enemy, ally, commander, etc). I don't want to voice acting, I fail at it.

    Anyway, I am going to link the tutorials on fpsbanana :) (if you give me the permission)
