would like to see:

-a guide to getting the trigger_class/buidlable/equitment to work correctly. (if anybody actaully has done so) (also example uses)

Are these enough or do you really need an expansive tutorial? -Surv

-your entity file should include _decal and _skybox entities, and you should have a tutorial on how to use these, eg to make blood that can go on more than just a single face. there is stuff on google but it would be much easier to have it collated here. (also example uses, like interesting lighting effects etc)

I sparingly use q3map2 entities and any information by me on them would be incomplete. If I get bored I might dig into it but don't expect it. -Surv

-a little guide to what people likes to see in a map. eg i like something about it that gives it an atmosphere different to other maps, even if a map looks crap i will be interested enough to download it if it seems to offer a new experience.
