Hi all map maker

Hi evrybody,
I'm really noob in source map making. But I really want to learn. I started to use Hammer and it look quit easy. I will present my future creation.

Just a liitle noob question : theme pack are free to use ? If I use it, I probably have some people to motice or this kind of thing ?

Cheers,
Paulozz

Nice !

Thx for fast answer

Hi,
My 1rst presentation was short, so I'll try to do better now.

I'm a french guy of 27, living near Paris. I work as gameplay programmer, and I want to increase my Level Design capability ... and TF2 is actually my favourite game.
I do some mapping when I was young with UT, but it wasvery different. For the moment Hammer is a pleasure. Some friends told me it is old and featureless compare to other recent editor, however I don't feel it at all.

Sone, I'm glad to meet you community.

And to finish a lettle question. How much time it take to you to do a correct beta version of a map ? And how much time do you think it take for a noob ?
