on the top left you will need to download:
#hammer 3.5 beta test
#zhlt these make the hammer editor turn the maps better and quicker.
on the site join the forums and ask questions, this is a good way to learn how to start. I suggest looking at the help file ithin hammer editor to help you set it up as it is pretty hard at first but easy as you go on.
anyway good luck.
Welcome to the world of "Pulling-out-your-hair-for-no-good-reason"! After a good year, you'll be able to put together a decent map!
Anyway, I'm not trying to scare you, the opposite. I think mapping is a great experience, which allows your imagination to flow freely. Good luck and have fun! <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
These are the Official Rules and Guidelines for NS Mapping. I'm pretty new myself, stick with it and have fun and you can create something magical.
Oh and I highly recommend ChromeAngel's Stuff: <a href='http://nsworld.ns-central.co.uk/mappingguide/MappingGuide.php' target='_blank'>http://nsworld.ns-central.co.uk/mappinggui...appingGuide.php</a>
BTW I know your handle from NS, do you play on Freaks Unleashed or Chitown Freeze?
