Hammer - First Map Tutorial

http://www.3kliksphilip.co.uk/tutorials_sdk_full.html

That link will explain all.

This video should teach you the ABSOLUTE basics of mapping in Hammer, within 5 minutes you'll know what you need to know in order to be able to make a simplistic level.

DOWNLOAD THE MAP FILE SHOWN IN THE VIDEO HERE!

These tutorials will work if you want to map for any Source-based game, including...
Half Life 2 + episodes
Portal 1 + 2
Counter Strike Source
Team Fortress 2
Alien Swarm (to some extent)

This is the second proper video in a new series of videos which will hopefully make map-making easier if you're just getting started.

You will need Steam to actually have the menu that you see at the beginning of this video, and you need at least one Source-based game to be able to map for it.

Visit the link at the top of this description for the full layout of the new tutorials.
