I might try and make a small 3v3ish DM map, ala Iceworld for the server. I remember I tried doing this a long time ago on TFC and it was really complicated, but now I have a nice computer and am willing to give it a try. Anyone know where I should start?

steam --> tools tab --> download source sdk
valve hammer

pain in the ass to get started with since its not like any other software

oh nice, it is that easy eh

I figured since there was so many custom maps these days it can't be that difficult to make a small DM map

so many shitty custom maps*

but yes its not hard to make a functional map, just hard to get the concept and to make it balanced

I have a friend that is very good at this. He made maps when hl2 first came out. I gave it a try and my attempt was horrific. Good luck and stick with it if you are going to give it a try.

easier to create the concept on a 3d modelling program then port it over to hammer to do the hl specific shit

and same as any game, im able to do programming type shit but i suck at creating the actual idea for a map

I mean I'm not looking to make anything complicated, an iceworld type map for small amounts of people to DM

its still complicated

i tried, its a bit overwhelming

yeah, I opened it and pooped my pants a little bit, then closed it

same here, fouled up my underoos a bit

quite the jobby, oi

twas yes

feeling another coming on right now thinking about how super awesome it would be if i was actually good at using the program
