Are there any new Tutorials out there?

Greetings.

I've been thinking about trying to start creating some Foundry missions and have been plotting and planning for the past while, but I've run into a bit of a snag. Every tutorial I've run into (even the ones linked off of the main page) appear to be from Beta v0.3.

Unfortunately, while the interface is similar, the methods of creation aren't. For instance, instead of just dragging 'interact with object' or 'kill enemies' into the story flow chart, as with all of the tutorials I've watched, you now have to drag a map in, then start placing things that way. Unfortunately, most of the text it uses is pretty general, doesn't really explain a lot and is a little confusing. As a newbie, I admit fully that I could really use a recent tutorial, with the current version, so I can actually figure out what the hell I'm doing. Randomly fiddling with things hasn't given me a lot of insight.

So, I was wondering if anyone happened to have a more recent text or video based tutorial? Anything would be appreciated. Thanks for your time!

Thanks! I appreciate that.

I'm sure I'm going to have some questions crop up over time. One I'm already trying to wrestle with is how the hell to get out of the system I created and back into sector space as part of the story. *chuckles* If I can't figure it out, that might be the first one.

The short answer is that you need to use the "Cryptic Map" marker in the story line editor, but, depending on what you want to do next, the answer can get a bit more complicated.

Where can I find all of the new tutorials? That one is really basic and the parts I am stuck at are not covered with that basic introduction to making a Foundry mission.

Can anyone post a link to where all of the new tutorials can be found?

Thanks!
