Gunz map export guide.

Since i hate the old video i had made like almost a decade ago or so (lol) i decided to make a new video and improve on the things i didnt like about my old video.

I tried to be concise and dont ramble too much but i ended up with a 30 minute video anyways, i go over the basics in this video.
Supplementary explanations and going further into details below the video.
