    This post will be updated according to the ideas that are agreed upon in this thread.

    Here, we will discuss and suggest what to put onto the tutorial video that is going to be made.

    I'll start with a couple suggestions.

    1. How to weld/smart weld
    2. How to use psygun - consisting of picking up, moving around props, freezing props, and the shift-e concept.
    3. How to use the q menu - consisting of all of the tabs in the menu.
    Edit.

    Feedback and suggestions are welcomed and encouraged. @Decap @CounterCraftz

    Good idea, if you'd like to make the video or want me to I'll go onto an empty server with you and we can play a display game.

    I believe that the rope tool should be included, because of the rope round. I also believe it should include event rounds where the player can do extra things or can't use certain tools/weapons.

    We're covering the basics not round specific.

    Yeah otherwise we'd end up making 20 videos to cover all the rounds. Like I said in the other thread, nobody would care enough to watch that much.

    This video isn't supposed to be majorly in-depth , just cover the basics and play a test round and that's about it.

    Everyone agree with what I have suggested thus far? Anything else important we might be missing?

    unnecessary, include "shoot other peoples boats and try not to fall off your boat, if you do fall off press e on your boat to jump back on" when you're talking about the different phases and that's it

    anything else is common sense

    brevity is the soul of wit

    Looks good. Need to make sure the videos are short, to the point, and easy to understand. also if we can get someone with a sexy voice that would be great too.

    Things that should be discussed in the video
    (Every topic should take around 20 seconds)​
    *What is flood.
    *How to spawn props and use your tools.
    *Weld and Smart Weld
    *Basic explanation of the props
    *Basic explanation of the weapons
    *Teams
    *Build Time and Fight Time
    *How to win a round and make money
    *How to call staff
    *Tab menu and muting players
    *At the end of the video we should give the link to the forums and team speak.
