Yunki 2197 Posted April 29, 2016 Watch TopHattWaffles videos. After the 3rd video I was able to figure the rest on my own (and obviously got help from others with specific issues) 5 cookie eater, Revöker, Papyrus and 2 others reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dr. NarwhalsNumbNuts IV 2291 Posted April 29, 2016 New game: Take a shot every time a new "need help with map making" thread gets made. You'll be hammered in no time. Huh??? HUH?? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Revöker 656 Posted April 30, 2016 what yunki said, Tophatwaffle is great if you really want to get into mapping, and he doesn't like teaching bad habits so he teaches the advance methods as soon as possible. After video 6 you should know everything basic and can make a decent map on your own. Everything after that is perfecting your map. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stealthysnacks 18 Posted May 1, 2016 Lots of things to consider.. geometry, characters, props, terrain, music, levels, gameplay elements, etc. Many of these are created using various programs/tools and are brought together using Hammer SDK. Take your time. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This is usually the way things turn out My map has changed so much and I've thrown away so many old ideas. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
