Don't click on grey eye icon if you're already following Silverfisk :b

People should really appreciate these tutorials because if you try to learn these from scratch by yourself it takes a lot of time. But now, in five minutes you're good to go. Also these are hand picked important points of mapping. Not like a wiki where you are not sure what's important and what's not.

Thanks again.

Glad you guys like it! :)

I do need to go through a lot of trial and error to figure out exactly how everything works before I make a tutorial on it, so it's awesome to see you guys appreciate my effort! ^^
