Hey guys. I decided to write some tutorials for those interested in making their own missions for OP2. I figure weekly installments should be manageable, and we'll go at a slow pace so people can ask questions and have them answered.
For now, we'll just get the SDK setup. Start by reading AmIMeYet's excellent tutorial here. The link to the SDK download is broken, so get it here instead. There! That should do it. Simple, yes? We won't actually be doing any coding until tomorrowish, though... Note: Although I'm telling you all to use MSVC++, I'm still using CodeBlocks (call me old-fashioned). This shouldn't really matter, but I just thought I should mention it. If anyone has any questions, or somebody would like to add something, feel free to post. Tomorrow(ish): Game Setup; Creating Units (Beginner). Lessons: Week 1 - Game Setup; Creating Units (Beginner) Week 2 - Game Options; Building a Full Base Week 3 - Basic Triggers/Intro to Disasters Week 4 - More Disasters; Victory and Defeat Week 5 - Your First Last One Standing Week 6 - Creating Units (Advanced) and Intro to AIProc Week 7 - Advanced Triggers Week 8 - Your First Land Rush Week 9 - Intro to AI Week 10 - Your First Colony Game with an AI Week 11 - Your First Multiplayer Game with an AI Outpost 2 Coding 101 is now complete, but stay tuned for Outpost 2 Coding 202, coming... whenever I get around to it. It won't be for awhile though; I need a break from writing these, and I bet you all need time to read them!

I have a question that might seem a bit noobish: why can't something simple like notepad be used?
