Have any tips for a Map Maker Newbie?

[Icekow]

Kinda want to do Doom map making more than what i'm already doing, have any tips for a newbie (and other newbies)?

First step, play Mock 2 to completion.

Second step, don't do anything you saw in Mock 2.

[Icekow]

oh no, AHAHAHA, will do sir, will do.

Don't just make square room after square room. In Doom you can make lines at pretty much any angle, use this to it's full potential!

I compiled a bunch of super helpful guides and videos for newbies and pros alike, hopefully it will be of help to you:

If one guide or video doesn't sit right with you, just try another - plenty to pick from.

Just don't give up and be proud of what you create. Oh, and have fun with it. I'm sure others have and will put more technical advice up.

You can make a perfect circle by Pressing Ellipse tool > On the tabs, You can see ( Sides [X] Spikes [X] )

Sides are special but Spikes are not that temporary. Change the Sides value, Here you go, Draw it!

You can also draw a Linedef > Choose the Linedef selection tool > Click on the Linedef then press F.

You have flipped a Linedef! 

P.s Fliping a Linedef helps some Linedef actions go in into the right side.
