But that tutorial only covers Half life death match, I thought you'd have to run it as a CS:S map and use T spawns for zombies...

Of course I haven't mapped for ZS so I don't know for sure if that is the proper method.

he doesn't even know what program is used for mapping so he should start with the basics to get a few things down before he even attempts to make a ZS map.

you can use any game for hammer to create a zs map but you must mount the zombie survival FGD

Clarification maaate; because when he gets to that stage would you rather another thread be made ? Some info regarding ZS would be nice.

No, he said he didn't know about mapping specifically for ZS gamemodes - and that was spelled out quite well not just here, but talking to him in game [in ZS[ about it.

Also make sure you add a few brushes here and there, those might be important.

Be sure to check some tutorials on Youtube as well. They'll give you a few pointers on what to do an how to do it as well as things you should watch out for suck as over-lapping brushes and other stuff.
