Steam users the steam version of torched seems to not work properly, best to download the runic version.

PM me links i have missed and i will try to setup catagories in the next few days to make digging thru these much easier.

[MofoDavid]

You pretty much just put a bunch of links from other threads in one post. Also, the fact that all these topics are posted at the top of the "Torchlight Mod Discussion" forum.

[Deejay]

Now David, he did try to make it easier for some people.

The problem I have with all the documentation and the videos is that they don't show enough of basic stuff. Like easily making a floor/walls with the editor from scratch. Someone needs to start doing simple to advanced videos on youtube

[coffinsnail]

but i posted this in the torched support forum where many of these questions are now asked. the idea was to put a sticky here with links to threads already talking about such things. rather then watching as 20 new threads bump yours off and 9 of them are the same thing you might have asked, or it might have been answered in the mods section.

what im seeing is this forum area getting flooded with alot of basic questions that was the reason for this type of thread. so if it did get stickyed in this forum area, it might help cut down on alot of the basic things being asked. mainly cause most were asked in the mods section prior to this section being created.

[tacitus59]

Thanks - I was looking for something like this thread. Face it, there are 4 other places to look for stuff and "Help and Support" is often the first place people will look, including me.

[coffinsnail]

added a new link for custom map tutorial .... glad it helped some.

[jamesL]

sorry to say but that create dungeon pdf pretty much sucks
I think anyone who follows it to the letter will not be able to get it to work

[Needlehawk]

Thank you very much for this thread. I've got it bookmarked now.

[coffinsnail]

added some new links lastnight ....

[coffinsnail]

New section added for player made video tutorials.

[coffinsnail]

A bump now that i have changed the title of the post.... thought it should state whats contained this time around.

[Krost]

viewtopic.php?f=6&t=7294

[coffinsnail]

thanks krost i added it Now that this is stickied maybe PMs would be easier to keep track of ...

[Krost]

Aye, Aye Captn'!
By the way, you should add the links to the name of tutorial rather than posting name and link, would make much more sense.

In case you don't know how:

Code: Select all

[url=the_url]Link Name[/url]

[coffinsnail]

do it my way because most have visited links set to change color which is nice but can blend in to much. so the idea of the thread name, then the link makes sure they can find the thread again easily.

[ServantOfThor]

Nice list, Thanks!

We will track this thread for feedback and make updates to the initial post if necessary. I do not know, if the current website hosting will stay forever (maybe some days we have another url). Thanks for your effort and that you have mentioned our tool.

[N3MES1S]

How about a tutorial for the users that cant run the editor on how to open the editor??? , cuz cant believe there are toons of tutorials when most of the 60% posts are bug posts, and still there are lot of users that cant even run the editor. U cant make a tutorial of anything if the editor itself doesnt work. Wake up.
