Are There Any Open Source Ns Maps?

I'm pretty new to mapping, and although it's fun, it would be great to learn off of the work of others. Does anyone know where I can grab .rmf files that would help a newbie learn? It doesn't even have to be a whole map, it could just be showing off how elevators are made or something to that effect.

Thanks! <!--emo&::asrifle::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/asrifle.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='asrifle.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    To my knowledge, none of the official maps (and probably none of the completed custom maps) have been accompanied by the release of their .rmf files. However, if you search these forums for a bit, there are a few people who have posted the .rmf files for some of their dead projects.

    Anyway, it's better to learn simply by walking around in the maps, taking note when you see clever room design or funky architecture. If you have technical questions about hammer or setting up entities, check out the <a href='http://collective.valve-erc.com/' target='_blank'>VERC Collective</a>. If the entities are NS-specific, check out the <a href='http://www.unknownworlds.com/ns/Mapping_Guidelines.html' target='_blank'>Mapping Guidelines (yes, 2.1 is close enough to 3.0 final)</a> or browse around the mapping help forums.

    I'll see if I can find those dead maps. I'll edit my post if I find 'em.

    Thanks, Olmy.

    EDIT: What .fgd did you use? The ns.fgd I'm using (in my ns folder) doesn't have env_particles_custom, env_gamma, etc.

    Are you sure you are using your ns configuration in hammer? <!--emo&::nerdy::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/nerd-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='nerd-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    <a href='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/index.php?showuser=14' target='_blank'>ChromeAngel</a> has made a ns example map (taken from mapping faq) :

    Also <a href='http://collective.valve-erc.com/' target='_blank'>Valve-erc</a> has lot's of example maps, mainly entity explainations.

    [edit]

    Keep in mind that there is a Mapping Help and Troubleshooting sub forum, there is where you should post questions <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
