Well I too have to suffer the burden of non-broadband hl-dm online
(Got ya didn't I!?) 
Whats the deal with all these Star Wars modding/mapping fiascos? I dont understand, and probably will never.
Go to Botman's site (I think it is www.planethalflife.com/botman )
There you will find HPB Bot - which works for DM Classic, TFC, DM, CS, HW, etc etc etc.

I dont get grounded! That's Americanism.

You may well have mapped for that long, I started mapping about a year after hl was first released. I went from the old Wc 2.4, to Wc 3.4, right up to today's Valve Hammer Editor. The problem I seem to face quite alot is the kind of dedication you need to be a mapper. Sometimes I get 'mapper's block' where no matter what I do I always get frustrated with it and try to start something new. The best maps I have made were the ones where I actually made myself believe that the map would turn out ok. When I dont do that the map always fails miserably.... :
You learn something new everyday so it seems...
Re-Do the water!
- Give the fx amount atleast 170
- Give it a colour (equvalent to the colour of your water colour)
- Make sure it's water not slime
Hey, I'm no freak, I got that strange quote off Raven Blacks Random Surrealism Generator, It's the funniest thing I've ever seen:

Yea I played that. I just never seemed to get into it. On the subject of old-skool shoot-em-ups, did you ever play that old playsation game called 'epidemic'?
It's OK everyone, I managed to get myself a screensaver maker, 'Screensaver Factory 3 Pro' - It's pretty easy to use as well.
Do unspeakable deeds with them or burgle them, you can't disrobe in front of them.
Piss easy.
All you do is use the 'monster_furniture' entity. Make sure your custom models are in your /models folder. In the monster_furniture propeties, theres a button that you need to press to load which model you use.
I recently got myself a mechwarrior model off prefabland, and it works fine.

The lighting is dope
Sounds like a good idea but, how the hell would you... you know.
How is it done?
What programs should I use?
Etc?

We all start off as useless mappers. But eventually, you just get the jist somehow. It takes practice, trial, and experience. (Yea right look at me saying all this confident crap). Anyway, I remember the first map I ever made, It wasnt great, but it was in a way. It had this cool bridge thing through a big corridor, and alien slaves used to cool-ily fire at you and stuff.... Yea. (Infact, I think I have an Idea now!) 
Always be afraid not to try out new stuff!
Wait a second. 'How do I STRIP weapons from players?!' What are you man!? some kind of philostine? 
Too True.
Always remember to change the brush back to the block tool - I mean how many times do you go to create a brush when you still have a prefab or cyllinder still selected - THAT is thee most annoying little habit. 
The Making of a Multiplayer Map
1. A decent sized frying pan
2. 1 smoked haddock, preferably medium sized.
3. 14 pringles
4. 2 Slices of toast.
Instructions (To be done on pancake day)
Firstly, using a steel cooking pot and the sun's rays you must extract the salt from sea water to drink. Then, using a metal pole, bash the smoked haddocks head twice, and say the words, 'Uma! Rasha! Moot!'
If said correctly, a multiplayer map should appear infront of you. If this
does not happen, or happens incorrectly, then It is recommended
that you contact your local ambulance service.
