Dear coders, mappers, server owners, players, etc
Over the existence of Renegade-X, one major thing has been missing and is crucial for any game: an interactive, in-game tutorial. In the past, other things have taken higher priority but now I think Renegade-X is to a point where a tutorial would be the greatest thing to increase the daily player base by retaining more new players.
Mappers: How difficult would it be to create events through kismet and other mapping tools where a character could run around giving vocal advice to the new player? For example, McFarland would run around on Walls and teach the player how to place mines, how to purchase vehicles, and other crucial details.
Coders: How hard would it be to implement parts of the PT UI and other in-game UI elements to help guide the player throughout his/her tutorial experience? For example, when the new player opens the PT, certain elements would highlight/illuminate to emphasize the in game dialogue.
What sort of overall collaboration would be required for this to be done? Would this burden mostly fall on the coders or the mappers?
