Hi everybody =]

 

Today I'm going to show you some basic things you should know about Hammer Editor and

Counter Strike Source mapping.

 

First of all if you don't know how to use this program follow this guide : Introduction To Hammer Editor

 

So, Lets begin.

 

The first thing you have to do is make a new map :

 

 

Now use the block tool by clicking it or pressing shitft + B.

 

Create a box that should look like this :

 

 

When you finish with the box, add it some texture.

 

Click the box with this tool and then click shift + a.

 

This menu will appear :

 

 

When this menu appears click browse :

 

 

When you click browse a variaty of textures that you can apply is going to appear.

Select one.(I personaly type on search "wall" and I put a brick wall for my box texture)

 

When you find a texture double click it and then click "Apply".

 

Now, use the camera tool so you can see your box on the camera window.

How do you do it?It is simple.Click the camera tool and then go to your top left window.

Hold click and make a line that that shows your box.

 

If you done everything right till now your map should something like this :
