I'm in the process of making a map for frontline, and I'm wondering if I extract the new version to where the old one is, will the map still work? Do I have to tell it not to override files?

I'm trying to get a server running for my maps, so if you me to host your map I'd be happy to!
If I can get it working, that is.

i was working on a pretty realistic map but stopped development because i was made aware that i'm not allowed to include swastikas i guess

"A. Despite the wartime theming, we highly discourage any content based on or influenced by racist or xenophobic imagery. "

is that what this means? am i even allowed to include the ww2 jap flag or will that trigger people as well?

I would assume just try to keep it themed around the styles of the time (clothes, buildings, environments, etc.) but try to keep the theme on tf2. Tf2 isn't a serious games, and shouldn't delve into serious topics...

Just asking, how can multiple people work on a map at once?

share the vmf file (on google drive or dropbox), and keep updated versions of it from both people saved. If there's some element from one version both people like, you can just copy and paste it into a "definitive" version.

Soo i just dowloaded the supply drop,where should I place the files?

extract the zip to C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Team Fortress 2\tf\custom
and hammer should find them automatically. :)

Well I found somebody that needs help on making a map. It's an attack defend map with a look and feeling like rottenburg.

I'll be willing to help. I don't have too much experience in hammer, but I know the basics and have made a few maps.

Also, if they want tutorials, 3kliksphilip (on youtube) has some good ones. They're a bit old and for css/csgo, but most of the information can apply to tf2, and they helped me learn a ton.

I've started working on a trench-themed map. I don't have too much experience with mapping, but I've made a tf2 map and a few portal/half-life maps.

Q. where i need to extract files from site?

I found out, you just extract it to C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Team Fortress 2\tf\custom
Hammer should automatically find them.
