    Try the mapping forum. Has alot of stickied threads with information. Also try <a href='http://www.snarkpit.net' target='_blank'>www.snarkpit.net</a> and other HL1/2 modding sites for tutorials and such.

    #nsmapping on gamesurge should have someone willing to help.

    Oh, and you might want to change that sig before a mod nukes it, theres a 450x75 limit.

    Still twice as tall as it should be.

    Also, we're all operating under the assumption that you have and know how to use Hammer. That's the map editor you need.

    The <a href='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/index.php?showforum=4' target='_blank'>mapping forum</a> has all the information you need to know... The <a href='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/index.php?showforum=34' target='_blank'>sub-forum</a> might help even more.

    theres a help and question subforum in the map forums. bring it there

    and as for hammer check here.... <a href='http://collective.valve-erc.com/index.php?go=hammer' target='_blank'>valve hammer editor</a>

    after you install that install the 3.5 beta which is much better for finding leaks
    here.. <a href='http://collective.valve-erc.com/index.php?go=hammer_beta' target='_blank'>hammer 3.5</a>

    Just remember to take it slow, work on a room. Don't try to do something too advanced, create a HLDM map first, and detail it. Then try NS mapping. A room isn't just 4 walls a cieling and floor, many brushes are used to make each floor or wall.

    Listen to Frost. Jumping right into NS mapping is nearly impossible. As you can see, NS has some of the most beautiful and advanced maps ever to be done on the HL1 engine.

    I'd go with HLDM and possibly a different mod, until you can create the advanced room designs that NS maps require before they'll even be considered.
