Ive made just a few sad cs maps and I wanna make NS one. Should I still use hammer? I tested a simple map and it crashed NS. Is there someting special I have to put on a map b4 it will work? I guess i do need ccc and hive maybe thats why. Should I still use ZHLT? any tips on making map look good? textures? plz give me tips.

I mainly start cruddy maps and never finish em lol
