Where to start to learn mapping?

[ExodusS]

When i started i made stairs on Ezjemvill (the first thing i made ever).



After that , i choose to make my first own map.
When i shared this , there were any light cause i didn't know how to save the fullbright. (lol)



I decided to make more serious map (by myself) so i tried to make like some oficial maps , i made ac_little_town (it was lagging i didn't know the "F" command in coopedit) I was really happy to make maps and have fun on with my mates (@DaylixX Spako...)



I tried to make better maps like aw_warfare , with a better gameplay , more fair bases , any secret passages etc...(coop with DaylixX and Spako AW)



We all decided to make a huger map with a lot of details on the desert theme and we made ac_sylang .(more expressive , better lights etc...)



After that , i made a map alone , more detailled , mode work and a new theme , ac_warfare. The gameplay was an epic fail , huge only 2 ways etc.



I started mapping with Undead and we made ac_swamp , a lot of details , a little map but we worked a lot on the gameplay. Good lights and good use of mapmodels.



My last map , alone but with a lot of experience , ac_palenque , aztec-mayas theme , custom mapmodels from cube , cutom textures good lights (etc...) this map won the mapping contest.



And now, this is ac_cavern with Undead, this is for me a "masterpiece", all my knowledge and all my mapping experience his into this map, same for Undead.



Keep working, that's all. :)
