Welcome to the forum eiM.

The rtcw waypointing tutorial is definately a good start to understand some of the basics for waypointing ET maps. There have been some changes to alot of the node / action / route flags though.

Documentation for ET waypointing is in the works. In the meantime, the waypoint tool that Hobbit developed should provide some help for those that want to get started now. It's located in ~Fritzbot/WaypoinTool. You can also open up the existing waypoints and see how things are done.

It's best to start simple, maybe create a single path to an objective on a map, add the actions, and then add a bot to see how it reacts. Then gradually add more objectives and paths.

A couple things to keep in mind:

Mover support is coming. So maps with tanks / trucks that need to be escorted aren't supported just yet.

Rommel_final, Nachteinbruch, Dubrovnik_Final, Rocket, and et_breakout are being worked on right now.

Hopefully we will have some good documentation for ET and a seperate Wiki soon.
