Posting Tutorials

[randomkeyhits]

I noticed that I cannot start a new topic in the tutorial section. Is it a case of simply asking for the appropriate rights or is there an approval process I'd need to work my way through?

 

For now at least I'm interested in posting small how-to's using Lua scripts, nothing fancy.

 

edit: Didn't think of this but there is also the steam community guides as well. Would it be more sensible to post guides there or here?

The tutorials forum just automatically reposts items from here:

http://www.leadwerks.com/werkspace/page/tutorials/

 

That is the best place to put your lesson.

 

I thought for a while we might use Steam Guides, but they are hard to use and don't allow attachments for anything other than images.

I see how it works now, thanks

 

I'll look at the formatting now to keep in line with the style guide. Should have the first ready to post today or tomorrow.

Had a go but had to abort due to my lack of familiarity with Invision boards.

 

The code I placed in bb code blocks kept losing their indentation after previews. I wondered if I should have added the code as attachments and then embed them but couldn't see how to make that work. I know it can be done as the existing guides do it but boy this is making me think this is one of my dumb days.....

When you want to place code and don't want to lose the indenting, click on the top left button 'Toggle editing mode'. (click on more reply options if you don't see that button).

hmmm does that mean I have have nice code formatting but no bullet lists? seems to be an either/or thing with that option

 

edit: answered my own question, so long as I stick to pure bbcodes I'm good.

[AggrorJorn]

Can't you switch between the two when needed?

[randomkeyhits]

no, when you switch back from the simple to the full editor it wipes out all the indentation.

 

As I said, not a problem just as long as I stick to manually inserting bbcodes.
