I know this must seem like a really stupid question but, resently I've taken an Intrest in mapping. I would like to know what program I have to use to map for Day of Defeat,where to download it etc.

For current DOD, click here http://collective.valve-erc.com/index.php?go=hammer_beta
there u will find HAMMER (the mapping program) and the DOD FGD (easier for using entities in DOD). download both. Im sure u can find plenty of tutorials on how to set it up (on these forums alone)

For future DOD:S, open steam, and in the bottom of your game list u will see Source SDK. double click and download that. you will then aquire many modding programs. One is called Hammer, which is the Mapping program for Source.

www.mardymouse.co.uk is a GREAT resource for DoD mapping tutorials as well.

if you plan on mapping for hl1 dod, then check out this thread:

I wrote this up for my guys and it gives you a step by step (mostly using mardymouse tuts) to getting set up and mapping.

Hello everybody,
I'm new to mapping too and would like to create my own map.

Josh_u, I went through the tutorial you posted. The problem I had was the texture was not showing in the 4 views. I did select texture like the tutorial suggested but all I could see were outlines of the box in the camera view. Am I missing something? Appreciate all the help!
