Learning to mod Team Fortress 2

[Mr. Versipellis]

What's the best tutorial for absolute beginers? I have NO experience modding shooters (only RPGs, I've done a lot of that)

Curious, what RPGs have you modded?

Also, look into Garry's Mod, it uses the same engine as Team Fortress 2, and can be modded much more easily than TF2 (or any other steam game).

Well, I've done a fair bit of work for Morrowind and I'm currently developing an NWN mod called 'Bose's Gate'. Google it; there are a few posts at BioWare about it.
I thought Gmod just ran any old Source maps? I didn't know you could specifically make Gmod maps! That's awesome! Then again; gm_flatgrass and construct are Gmod maps.
I've actually made one really bad half lfe map now; it wasn't so hard. I'm only interested in mapping TBH; the programming and stuff doesn't interest me. Which is odd, as I'm very much a single-player guy in general.
