<div class="IPBDescription">New mappers & those wanting a refresher</div> I found a really nice guide for the <b>very</b> basics of using Worldcraft/Hammer editor.
It's great for if you've got absolutely no experience with mapping, or if you simply need a refresher course before tackling that NS project you've had in mind for weeks.
I used to do some UT mapping a few years ago, but haven't looked at mapping since then. This tutorial site had me pretty much back up to speed within an hour. It's written with Quake mapping in mind, but both games use the same Worldcraft/Hammer editor.
Here's a quote from the tutorial's first page:

I hope that in finishing this tutorial you will be well on your way to creating worlds of your wildest dreams ...or nightmares.<!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><span class='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd-->
