So I just loaded up Source SDK...

Hammer, actually.

And it just blew my mind. I've looked everywhere for a tutorial, but everything is going off of the fact that you even know how to use it. So, a question for the map makers here - is C++ knowledge required? Or will I be able to play with it and somehow produce a playable map?

Maps require no programming knowledge.

They're made with a GUI.

yeahhhh...what?
There's the problem - i'm a noob in all aspects of this. Where can I pick up some info on how to not suck?

No, you don't need C++ to make map on hammer, but this is not where you should of made this thread.

Sorry about sticking it here, all of the threads in the mapping forums looked a bit above me. Thanks for the info

www.tf2maps.net its a site dedicated to TF2 mapping, (I assume thats where you are mapping for) when I used to map even the noobiest of questions was answered. We also have a mapping section for any help you need.
