Hey all,
Just recently got back into mapping again, well, when I say got back into, I was never any good in the first place.
Just come off of a Game Day and it was great fun and to see new maps and how they've developed just interests me. I just can't wait to see one of my maps in there soon.
Basically, my question is this, what and how is the best way to start making a map in hammer, after the designing part (MS Paint ftw)?
- What type of textures should I use and where? (dev, etc.)
- Do I start with BLU Spawn or RED Spawn or without spawns?
- Do I put the game time and setup gates etc. first, or do I put them in after I
have the lay out done?
I am looking to make a multi stage pl_ map.
Sorry for these 'noob' questions, but I am in fact a 'noob' at mapping, but I can't wait to get going and to learn so much within the next few weeks. I am looking forward to creating my first map.
Thanks in advance for any help, all advice is MUCH appreciated.
Regards,
Matt 'hytek' Rimmer.
