This has significant benefit, as a lot of general ground about creating content for *NZ:P* has already been covered by *Quake* and *Half-Life* mapping/modding resources. + +The *Nazi Zombies: Portable* makes no attempt to document a lot of these concepts as a result. There are much better, more comprehensive resources that you should follow instead.
