Beginners!

well... I took my first step into the world of maps and stuff today. Fired up hammer and read a bit of the docs etc... I pick stuff up pretty quick, but I'm a total noob to this stuff... although confused at first I have just managed to put together a basic room (that looks horrible and has gaps everywhere), and get a skybox working. All with just 3 hours from first starting up the sdk.

Sadly my map involves the shooting of pigeons... that er... won't fly away.

here's some piccies.

Horrible... but it's a start.

You're over the first big hurdle - getting the ****in thing working.
Look forward to seeing some maps from you soon.

I remember reading something on the SteamPowered forums about a guy
who created a cs_ map for CS: Source, but the hostages wouldn't move.

Apparently, you have to put in node paths for them to follow. It may be the
same thing for the pigeons. Otherwise, how would they know where to go?

Okay... been fiddling with hammer for a while now, having lots of fun... started on a map a while ago, but decided against it for the time being... started a new one this morning based around a shopping location. First thing I started on was the Che-bar (ho ho ho) I was going to make it the beadles arms... and replace the che decals with beadle ones... but having trouble creating new decals... hmmm looking into it tho... here are a few piccys of my last few hours work on the pub part of the map.

I'd say just Dive in and have a go, it's pretty easy to get started.

Check out the videos that are linked somewhere... REALLY helpful.

I got another map on the way, and an update of beadles_arms...
