Introduction

Hopefully we will be providing you with tutorials on all the TF map entites, and how to use them in combination to make new-style TF maps. These tutorials aredesigned to be a no-nonsense approach to creating TF maps. They start byintroducing the TF entities, and what they are used for. Then the latertutorials will move into map specific entities, such as what you need to createa hunted map, or a command point system.
