This guide splits the tutorials to three levels: Basic, Intermediate and Advanced tutorials. The tutorials are there to guide you just barely on the steps. They do not spoonfeed you, which means you learn the tutorial by your own undictated word-for-word, giving you a feeling of satisfaction and confidence as you go by your modding. They always end up with an 'Where from here?' segment where I list some possiblities on what you can do from here.

If there are problems with the balance of the tutorials, do PM me in the CS-Mapping or give me an email if you want to.
