 h1. Creating Maps
 
-h2. Introduction
 
-Creating maps requires the [[Netradiant]], a gtkradiant based mapping program that generates .bsp files compiled by q3map2.  It helps to have a [[well packaged map]] while reading through this article.
+h2. This tutorial is incomplete ... if you are looking for the old creating maps page ... click on the link at the bottom of the page
+h2. This page is also being maintained by hutty ... if you have an issue ... or need a certain tutorial sooner ... contact him on the forums
 
-h2. Map Packages
 
-Maps are packaged as a .zip file with a .pk3 extension.  They can be opened with any program that opens zip files.  The pk3 gets loaded when you start the game, [[Xonotic]].  The engine, [[Darkplaces]] reads pk3 files as it would a normal files system.  You can thus create a pk3 package with any files that the engine can normally read.  (needs well packaged map example pk3)
+So ... 
+you are interested in mapping ... 
+Hopefully this tutorial section will teach you most of what you need to know ...

+[[mapping-Introduction]]
+[[mapping-Setup]]
+[[mapping-NetRadiant]]
+[[mapping-FirstRoom]]
 
-<mapname> should be alpha-numeric, lowercase with dashes, periods and underscores only,([a-z0-9-_.]+).pk3 -- preferably they are suffixed with a version and revision.  Following this convention will yield better results from scripts that use this format to help distribute your map.
 
-h4. Required Files
+h2. Advanced Mapping Tutorials
 
-maps/<mapname>.bsp - This is your compiled map file
-maps/<mapname>.map - This is an open-source game, help others learn.  This file is required to be in the game.
-maps/<mapname>.mapinfo - This file has the meta information, global music track, gametype(s) and game settings
-maps/<mapname>.jpg|png|tga - This file is a screenshot of your map.  If you don't include this, you map doesn't have a picture in the menu or the voting screen for servers and angels cry.
-maps/<mapname>.waypoints - This is required to be added to the game, it's a [[adding waypoints]]

-By including any of the files above, you could cause undesired results.  Try and use common sense about how you're adding dimension to your map, if you have questions, ask for help.
 
-h2. Testing Maps
 
-You can compile your map locally or on the build server.  The build server (requires [[Respository_Access]]) requires a <mapname>.mapoptions file. For more info check ask in #xonotic.editing on irc.quakenet.org
+... i'll add the rest later ...
 
-h2. Maps on Servers
 
-Find a server admin to add your map.  (this section needs work)
 
-h2. Map Repositories
 
-_*Maps must be properly packaged to be included in a repository*_
 
-An official map repository is in the planning stages, please check back later or find help on IRC.
