A glow point and shine map tutorial
Since I'm the one who's made all the glowmaps and shine maps so far (for all the official ships, anyway) I may as well. Gimme a moment to take some screen shots...

But this is also part of a bigger idea. A project I am thinking about undertaking. A SCP Project Reference manual. Something personally that should have been started a while ago. But this would be something with that would be useful. We could use Word to create it. We could through images in there as well to explain how tos. Because, currently the information is so widly spread out among the forum. It is a headache currently to do searches for information. What we could include in it is a more extensive CVS tutorial telling you exactly where to get it, what you need and how to set it all up. Information of glowmaps, shinemaps, cloaking, a full list of improments and added features, SEXPs with a pretty descent description written by the author ect. I know previously there was a readme but I think it has disapeared or has not been updated. I am willing to keep track of the readme and such. If the developers will help me with it. Mighty Inquisitor and SCP team, what do you think about this.

Make it HTML rather than a word document. That way you can hyperlink between bits that are connected.

Finding the SCP readme would be a good start.
Karajorma's Freespace FAQ. It's almost like asking me yourself.
