Has anyone got any tips for Hammer/Sledge for a person making their first map? I know there are a few YouTube tutorials but is there anything that isn't obvious which might help?

Thanks Smile

I'd also like to know as well, since I'm doing it a bit from scratch and I'm trying to make a very nice map myself too.

learn how to make everything
- doors ladders respawnable windows etc
then make more complex maps, dont make a huge project for ur first map
it will be bad and ull want to scrap it as u learn that everything u made
could be done better and more efficiently
