[Video Tutorials] How to Make TF2 Maps

[Crash]

This series will teach you the very basics of how to create Team Fortress 2 maps. It is intended for someone who knows absolutely zero about mapping, but can also serve as a refresher for those more experienced.

The series is still WIP, but check out my channel and subscribe to catch all future episodes!

Thanks to Iiboharz for all the art!

Starting out with the basics, but here it is! I'll update this thread as I create more.

I had just posted the beginnings of a written version yesterday. Is it alright if I add a link to the top of that post for those that prefer videos?

Maybe slow down a little when you speak? it felt a little fast, which you don't really want from a learning thing.

Other than that, good video dB]

Excellent tutorial, but since you are making a series you should tell people what to do if you delete a bar (like the entity bar in the right).

Yeah, Crash. You need to smoke some weed.

I can't find hammer.bat ,but I have only tf2 installed.

It should be there. Try verifying your game cache for TF2.

These have been great for refreshing myself. I'm positive many new mappers have learned a substantial amount from these tutorials as well. Thanks for taking the time to make these.
