How to make a TF2 map?

[Bunker Junker]

I'm sorry if this is the wrong "part of" the forum to discuss this, and I will delete this thread if so.


But I'm very curious on how I can make one.

First off, you'll need Team Fortress 2, via Steam. I assume you have Steam, so the only thing you'll need to do is go to the store page and search for Team Fortress 2. Next off, you'll need to download Source SDK. Go to Steam, click Library and click on the 'All Games' tab under Library.Jan 5, 2012

Hammer is in one of the bin folders, it's either TF2/bin or TF2/tf/bin

https://tf2maps.net/threads/ultimate-mapping-resource-pack.4674/ This thread has a link to a resource pack that is very handy for transforming Hammer into a more TF2-friendly version, also has useful stuff like prefabs for the various game modes (except Robot Destruction which isn't official yet)

https://tf2maps.net/threads/tip-things-to-avoid-when-designing-your-first-tf2-map.18699/ Good list of things to avoid when designing your map

https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Team_Fortress_2_Level_Creation TF2 hub on the developer wiki, definitely make sure to read the stuff under Getting Started, and bookmark the Mapper's Reference link
