Does anyone know where I can find some GOOD BSP tutorials online???? Preferably ones that teach you how to make them, not just load them. I looked at the ones on www.gametutorials.com but they only teach you how to load Quake3 BSPs and not how to make your own. Thanx

perhaps you might find some trough www.qeradiant.com

examples tutorials source code...

Do you mean bsp as in the BSP file format? or bsp as in binary space partitioning?
Both are very different.

He already said he wanted to know how to build BSPs, not load quake 3 bsps.

@OP: GameInstitute has a good BSP course. You might want to check it out - it costs a bit but is really, really in-depth.

Though the best tutorials were these from Mr Gamemaker... (currently sold in enhanced form by the GameInstitute)

I have been to there site and It is a great site(if you can afford it), I am a registered user at the site but I don't have the $100+ that they want for the course so until then Im trying to find some free tutorials online. The tutorials dont have to be extreamly in depth, just need something (that is fairly easy to understand) to get my foot in the door on BSPs that are not very expensive (i.e. free) until I get the money for the GI course.

Thanks

Wow that last link was very helpfull, Even though I undrstood most of it there were a couple things I couldn't quite follow but for the most part it was very helpfull, good enough for complete beginers to BSPs (such as my self) to get thier foot in the door of BSPs.

Thank you for the links they were very helpfull.
If anyone has any more tutorials, that would be helpfull as well.
Tutorials on the general BSP file format would be nice as well.

Thanks very much.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year
