Hi, everyone!
My name's Peter, I'm an Aussie who has experience with Worldcraft. Anyone here remember that? It was back in Quake days. Long, long ago.
I used to make maps for the original Team Fortress, it was a riot - and a huge hobby of my friends and I back when we were in high school.
I haven't really mapped since, but hopping into Hammer (which is literally Worldcraft, renamed after Valve bought it because it was such an intuitive program), and the first thing I noticed was that it hasn't changed a bit. Nearly a decade later, I am using a program that is still familiar to me, rusty as I may be.
If I have any struggles with making maps, it will simply be getting my head around how things are done now (things have changed a lot since Quake), and making heads or tails of all the new entities that have magically appeared in TF2, of which there are apparently millions just to get a map working.
I came here because I found a couple of really useful threads on google and it seems to be a pretty friendly, dynamic community so here I go.
Sorry if I bored you to death!
