Making your own Enemy Territory Map

Mapmaking Glossary/Reference

Here is where I will list anything I find that makes me go "hmmm" for a second. For one reason that way I can look it up again, and you can too :D

Keyboard Shortcuts:

N	Edit the properties of an entity.
S	Edit the surface properties.
ESC	De-Select Everything
Insert	The Insert key will zoom out the 2D panel.
Delete	The delete key will zoom in of the 2D panel
Space Bar	Duplicate current selection
CTRL-SHIFT-CLICK	Select just one face of a brush
CTRL-SHIFT-ALT CLICK	Continue selecting additional faces (without de-selecting the last face)

Tips, Tricks & Pitfalls:

Hinge Leaks: When creating the hinge for your door be sure that the hinge doesn't touch the outside of the map as this will create a leak. The hinge should be firmly in the wall, but not all the way through it.

Where's the Texture: Radiant looks in to your etmain folder and then even into each custom .pk3 file to find textures. So when you apply a texture in Radiant and then suddenly people connecting to your server can't find it, this could be the reason. Make sure ALL textures used in your map that are not part of the commond textures that come with the game are included in your textures folder and shader script file.
