###Help answer new questions!

This subreddit was made for those mapping in the Source Engine to ask questions and then discuss them. Please do not ask questions about other game engines.

#Main Rules:

No question is a dumb question. Answer it and move on.
Downvoting is there for a reason. Use it only to hide spam or unworthy discussions.
Link to sources when you can. Often, you won't have to.

###/r/SourceEngine is missing some people! Go help out!

#Use these tags to clarify your post:

Game tags! If you're mapping for Counter Strike: Source, use [CS:S].
[Q] for general questions.
Mods only can use [PSA] or [Meta] tags. Don't use these!
If they are texture related, please link to appropriate websites (ex: gamebanana) and use a [TEX] tag.
You may put tutorials - use the [TUT] tag - but search first to make sure yours isn't a duplicate.

Some great tutorial makers are TopHattWaffle and 3kliksphillip.

###Sort By...

Counter-Strike Source

Day of Defeat Source

Half-Life 2

Those are just some main ones. If you have something else to search by, use your imagination with tags! If your posts are being removed, you have an incorrect tag. Use a [Q] tag and you can ask that way!
