Programs needed for mapping?

[SSJR@bbit]

Hey everyone! I use to map for Unreal tournament and I wanna give a shot at mapping 1 or 2 for ESF.... that is if its cool with you guys. So what programs do I need and where can I find them?

Thanks in advance even if you don't need me to map.

i must tell u that mapping for halflife is totally different than UT.
ive been mapping for UT too, but i didnt really like it..

in UT, u make a map, and if u wanna know how it looks ingame,
you just simply press "run" and try it out..

in HL, you will have to compile it.
the compilation makes lighting and stuff, while in UT u see the lighting in the editor..

compiling takes a while, so each time u do it, u must make sure ur map has absolutely no LEAKS (holes in the map, everything must be 100% sealed)
and no wrong brushes, cuz u get those alot..

u can get the programs and tutorials at www.valve-erc.com
