Pen and paper, definitely. When I have ideas for a map, I draw them out first. It's part of the fun .

Oh, trust me, I do have a lot of ideas and I will only start editing when I've defined everything that I want to do. If some for some reason it doesn't work (due to performance or anything else) I can always cut it out or modify somehow.
I've been quite busy with a lot of stuff atm, but I will get this started and rolling smoothly in August. Expect a WIP thread by then.

But a nice piece of paper and a pen Best to write down ideas and things you want to incorporate so you dont forget. I also drew pictures to help me visualize what I wanted my map to look like. Kind of like concept art, minus the art part..

Depends on the type of map for me. If its a fictional map, not based on a real location then its normally pen and paper but tbh if its fictional, I normally don't need to draw it down as I've got it pretty good in my head
If its based on a real location, then its best to take a sat image of the area, and draw on it in PS or w/e you like as then you know excatly what your working with

They are all good for use. However, you'll notice the rails on the bridge won't line up perfectly with the railroad track statics, so you may want to use the red railroad bridge.

You should add a ambience sound to your map, across the whole map you would hear this on loop :

Very good! I think that it's a good idea. It'll make some atmosphere in the map.

Yep. In the ladies side, if I'm not mistaken.
Never seen it before, which map uses it?

Ambient noise is not a musical soundtrack; it's supposed to be background noise, like screeching metal, birds, wind, etc.

It's on the men's side, so I think it's supposed to simulate someone being killed in there.

I've been flooded with RL issues lately and my head tends to unwind through gaming and other activities than mapping. Sorry for this, but I will let you know that once the Shipyard area (representing 25% of the map) is complete (as in 100%, lightmapped, etc) I will post a WIP thread. From there on and having mastered everything that I need to know, things will go far smoother.
Curious about one thing, where I can find this vehicle in the editor?
It's the closest thing we have as an ambulance in PR and I would like to use it as a static for the Hospital.
