Source Mapping can be extremely rewarding and at the same time very frustrating.
I am putting together a small DoD:Source map for a local server based on one I did for them in DoD 1.6. Problem is I can't seem to find the original RMF's anywhere (Backup early and often) so I have to start from scratch.
A few things I have found about Source mapping that encourage me are the incredible amount of information available from the Hammer4 help function and the similarity of 4 to it's predecessor. The simple stuff is explained in great detail and while there a a few more tools in Hammer4, they seem to be intuitive.
Error listings are comprehensive and covered at various sites, common bug's are explained.
At the end of the day if you are having trouble with Source mapping I suggest you RTFM. (Read the manual)
