Hey, I'm new here.

I'm going to make my first map, a close-quarters industrial attack/defend cp map.

I'll post a thread when I'm done or at least in beta for comments and such.

How do I join the Steam group?

Thanks,
Scorch

Hi, pleasure to have you aboard. As far as I can tell, in order to join the Steam group, I think you just go to the group's page on steam and click the "join" button in the upper right hand corner.

Also, if you ever want to have your map tested, a gameday would be the perfect place to do this. Here's the guide: http://forums.tf2maps.net/showthread.php?t=21459

If you need any help with making the map, we have plenty of guides in our tutorial section. http://forums.tf2maps.net/forumdisplay.php?f=57 Or, if you have a question about something more specific, feel free to ask any of the site or server staff, they would be glad to help you with anything.

Thanks for joining us, and welcome!

Welcome.

Bear in mind that when you join the Steam group, Steam will change its message to "This group is invite only." That's a bug, but it means you successfully joined.

Thanks!

We'll see how map 1 goes. Source SDK and Hammer are installing right now.

Welcome to the painful world of Hammer, Scorch!

But seriously, welcome to the community. I'm looking forward to see your work! Just keep in mind to keep detailing to a minimum in the first versions of your map and that the TF2Maps community is always here to help, and you're set.

You should upload your map in alpha, you'll want all feedback possible before becoming too attached to your map to make any big changes. Especially now that you're getting started. Whenever your map is playable, with a non-broken gamemode and without leaks (be careful with these) show it to us! :)

Have fun mapping!

Technically, you don't have to make a thread to get your map tested. However, having a thread does help get people excited, and/or ask for your map to get tested in Imps!
