Welcome.

Now.. what game do you want to make maps for?
In the download section for each game the mapeditor can be downloaded (under "utilities" usually)

As for starting, check out the tutorials for your game on the left. Those are a great way to start. As is the "Find-Search" button if you've got a problem. Every problem has been had before, just remember that if you're stuck somewhere :D

And have fun mapping.

well thank's for the input ,and sry it is for SOFII ,map editor i couldnt find it but then again my eyes lol, ty

For SOF2, I recommend GTK Radiant 1.4 which you can get Here, instead of using the version that comes in the SDK...

I only found one good link on that page. Trying to download now and add it to our D/L's section.

That's funny none of the links worked for me. Getting it from Filefront now.

hey guys/gals its me again ,thanks for the input ,i got the radiant 1.4 wich is easier but not a lot ,i got the vedios that come with it (old i think 2002 ver)and i got it going ,somehow whenever i finish a small map with lights and soldier on it and go to check it it says map leaked (or brush,1 entities 0 leaked),and the other broplem i have is i cant get my textures working i exctract the texture0 ,the rest,models, into my sdk file ,any ideas,ohh and i did this as well but i cant understant the 19 modsonline
thank you for any input

Ignore 19 and beyond until you get into the more advance parts of mapping...

As for the leak, that can be if you don't have any enetities (need atleast a spawn point) or if the entities are in the VOID, this can include being slightly inside a brush, you should have a slight gap between brushes and entities...

However it's main cause is due to brush work done, either there is a gap between walls or so on, your map should be considered "water-tight" from the VOID, so pretend if you were to fill your map with water, it can't leak out ANYWHERE, or you will have a bad compile...

I'd be happy to supply you with some *.map files for examples if your interested...

Also, you should post question about SOF2, in the SOF2 forums...
