I have to say that I agree with everyone else. I was going to write that immediately after reading Pauls first email but I thought maybe it was just me. I've had real difficult time getting started but things pretty much make sense now. I know I've got a long way to go but... The flexibility of far cry seems to be a blessing and a curse it's great that its so accommodating to almost anyones needs but its very overwhelming getting started.

To me, it appears they assume a certain amount of knowledge of how FarCry really works and its kind of like a chicken and egg thing. A more basic tutorial / overview of the system and the relationships between containers and rules and the like would be great. /cody -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Gavin Cooney Sent: Wednesday, November 17, 2004 5:15 PM To: FarCry Developers Subject: [farcry-dev] Re: Simple Tutorial for Farcry I have to say i agree with you. There's a certain list of things you need to "get" before the documentation starts to make sense. This intro to farcry has been on my to do list for a long time. If you want to contact me off-list i can talk you thru the basics on instant messenger Gav On Wed, 17 Nov 2004 17:29:14 +0000, Paul Johnston <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Thing is, I wouldn't actually ask the question if I hadn't already > found this stuff.
