I should try doing stuff on paper. I reckon I'm technically competent, but I never seem to produce any awe-inspiring maps :
Upload it here; so long as you bother to post a screenshot and a description people'll look at it and make helpful comments. Trust me, it happens! 
Did you know that the term "horny" comes from an ancient god of fertility who was believed to be a goat?
Ironically, you should make small details, lights mounted on walls (stops the ugly lighting issues), benches, chairs, etc, func_walls while leaving the walls themselves non-entities.
Nice benches by the way.

No. Pld = played = "well played".
Uhm... open the FGD? It's just text.
hefsys: I'm all for that sorta open-source feel. I can't see why pro mappers are scared someone'd rip their map off. If you're that good, then they can't make it any better. If you're that good then everyone'll know what your work is and will spot rip-offs.
I always release my RMFs. Then again, I haven't made any full-release maps except for the Trapped competition entry (winner
)
You could try the example maps section of the vault, maybe, or ask how an effect is achieved in the forums here (after thinking about it yourself first please).

No, seriously, there wasn't a tutorial on it so I never used it. First time I used it was yesterday after reading Captain P's post about how to change the modes. It was pretty handy actually
Yes.
8/16 usually. Smaller only when VMing things to meet up with odd angles.
the Intros!
pld
HERESY?
You'll have to put it on the web somewhere. Get a free host from www.clickherefree.com.
That should be "Grape-eating Robot". You put hyphens between a noun and a verb when it's like that
Uh... I think so. Not sure what you mean.
Hm. Get the Expert FGD, that had "Neither" in.
If you put it in the RES file, if you're talking about getting it from the game server. If you're distributing it typically in a WAD, yeah, just put it in the mod directory (i.e. cstrike or valve).
I think it's fine like it is, except maybe better searching and more mod types.
When you get this error, it means you've either not set everything up right, or your map isn't compiling due to a problem. Check the "compile process" window, the grey one that appears. Read it. If you see any errors, look for them on this page.
If there aren't any errors, check all your setup options in Hammer. Try and find the BSP and copy it manually into SteamAppsyourem@ilcounter-strikecstrikemaps if necessary.

I've built about two. Pretty interesting.
I've never actually typed it. I tried to remotely execute it on some poor sod who joined a CS server I was hosting a year or two ago though. Wouldn't let me do it.
Open the PAK, then click "valve" on the left pane, then "sound" and "ambience".
You do not release maps with errors, especially not major errors like leaks!
They're built into the map. There's a utility somewhere for removing the WAD. Google.
Properties of the buyzone -> neither team can buy.
Heh, good point. It hadn't occured to me that it unbinds the console... 
Aw, you can do summat. Even if it's a hoover.
I know what you mean, it doesn't always show up in Hammer for me. No problem really, I navigate by left- and right-clicking in the 3D viewport.
It means you have lots of holes in your map. Make your maps more carefully.
No, you don't need Winzip. It's really not hard, you just right-click a file and click Export.
so why should I bring effortsFor your own sake. Make the most of the little you have!
can I boost my chances by making a good looking map?I'd say so.
I just tried it and it works fine.
Best of luck! I'm sure it'll be fine. Read some tutorials
On mailing lists, newsgroups or Web forums, the subject header is your golden opportunity to attract qualified experts' attention in around 50 characters or fewer. Don't waste it on babble like ?Please help me? (let alone ?PLEASE HELP ME!!!!?; messages with subjects like that get discarded by reflex). Don't try to impress us with the depth of your anguish; use the space for a super-concise problem description instead.Already featured on the 'base' page.
No. He said it should be passed to the publishers then.
I see this site more as a starters place for beginning mappersSame.
it makes it easier to see ladder regions in hammerThat's what it's for really.
E-mail the authors of the custom maps? If you can't find the details with the map, Google for the map name.
You can get GCFScape here. Open SteamSteamAppshalf-life.gcf in it, then go to /valve in the GCF (it's like a ZIP archive).
Right-click halflife.wad on the right-hand side, then click Extract. Point it where you want it to go, and voila
I'm going to write a tutorial about mapping for Steam.

...plus I already talked about why it DOESN'T WORK:
This is because Internet Explorer shows the reply-post box in a fixed-width font. The posts themselves are shown in a variable-width ('proportionally spaced') font.
Fixed width font:
Every character, symbol, and space occupies the exact same width.
Proportionally spaced font:
A character's width is defined by the amount of width needed to display that particular character.

I think that'll have to go on the new forum readme.
is a rug considered a machine?lol!
My map is allready done, just need a few tweaks, like adding in the machineHeh, same. It's got a fair bit of pointless show-offy stuff in at the beginning, I've only just got to the machine.
I know; t'was ridiculous. Waiting an hour to download a 6KB file.
That's an interesting idea.
"yea i do have a couple of custom wads in there"
"there arent any custom WADs in there"
What!?
"there arent any custom WADs in there"
What!?
Sorry 'bout my dodgy pic-posting
Gone now. The cult overpowered me. Goatse...

Probably a dodgy WAD. Check them. Any custom ones you've made? Remove them from Hammer's list.
