the alpha in your reflection slot is set wrong. its most likely set by default for spherical instead of texture. in the picture, blue is what you most likely have set for the bitmaps in your reflection, and red is how you should have it. that should fix your problem, if not just show us your tree.

For the most part, the diffuse, falloff, normal bump, and specular are done the same way with all models.

no. to get a list of textures used, you need to click on the shader in entity and open up the meta editor. down at the bottom will be a list of all the bitmaps used. the first one listed is usually the bump so that makes it easier to locate. if that doesnt make sense to you, let me know and i will post a picture of where exactly it is.

No. Every model defines what detail map it uses in its shader.

If you grasp the concept of the tutorial and learn from it, not just copy, then yes, this will be a great help in the long run.

This doesn't belong here, regardless of if you don't feel you're getting help in that thread.

Does anyone know how i could possibly do a good environment where the ground strongly reflects the characters. and also if it's possible to extract the biped model configuration directly from the mainmenu.map. cause it looks like its in there

i explained how, but i left it as something for you to figure out on your own to see if you really understand some of the things you're using in the tutorial.
