<div class="IPBDescription">for those that manual did not help</div>This topic is mainly for beginners (like myself) that do not fully understand how to use sparks, because I do not under stand it too much i cannot add stuff to this topic, example as to why is said below

I've tried to use Sparks and make a normal box room, but the best I could do was a floor, 2 walls, and 15 random crooked rectangles made by the rectangle tool that I could not attach to the rest of the room because it was not aligned to the grid, the problem with the manual is that it says how to use them, it did not say what to use them for.

Of course how to use what would normally be totally up to the person using sparks, but there could be useful tips or methods that could help out new and inexperienced people. So if there any workarounds or advice/tips that you found out while using Sparks (or what not to use for certain things), post them here.



Edit: Could someone change the title, I made a typo >.>

2nd edit: made the topic more clear of what it's for and easier on the eyes

    Maybe you should take another look at the <a href="http://www.naturalselection2.com/tutorials" target="_blank">video tutorials</a>. Or you could look at the <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TiGK0iRRuyw" target="_blank">Spark time-lapse videos</a> by Mendasp.

    Just keep playing around with it until you get it. xD That's the best advice I can give.

    Well, I had originally meant for that to be an example of someone that could learn from people who had spent a decent amount of time in sparks and had tips on how to make a room/hallway look better with less stuff then most people would use, or a method to make a map quicker, that's the kind of stuff that I was hoping this thread would be used for.


    One other thing, why isn't the tutorial videos in a thread of their own and stickied, or have I not looked hard enough >.>

    Edit: Okay, I really didn't look hard enough, but I sorta expected it to be on the forums not the main website nor it to be so useful, hooray for the devs
