well, I was on the main page and I noticed the FGD or whatever for mapping. I am very interested in mapping and would like to give it a try. Unfortuanatly I know nothing.... if someone could help me out step by step I would appreciate it. I'll post the questions I have here. First off, wtf do I do with the FGD and should I get any tools first?

just go to google and type in Hammer or SDK Mapping Tutorial... and you'll be set. Mapping is pretty much the same for every game, I use to map for Jedi Outcast... and when I tried Hammer it was all pretty simple since it's almost exactly alike. Just find a tutorial ( one with pictures usally helps for a first timer biggrin.gif ) and you'll be set. Don't over do it though... you're going to want to make maps like the devs... and it's not going to happen (I know the feeling rolleyes.gif ) Just take your time, and stick to forums for when you get stuck on something. (Perhaps a Steam forums that's just for SDK? And not this forum tongue.gif ) Good luck... and thanks for editing your posts hehe cool.gif

You are using Valve Hammer with the non-Steam HL1 aren't you? Because if you aren't, it won't work. The maps should be compiled in the Valve\maps folder so that you can run them. wink.gif
