This is the second proper video in a new series of videos which will hopefully make map-making easier if you're just getting started.

You will need Steam to actually have the menu that you see at the beginning of this video, and you need at least one Source-based game to be able to map for it.

Visit the link at the top of this description for the full layout of the new tutorials.
