Some volunteers of our mappers with help? Smile

Maybe where do I get the programs from and how do I do the first start?

well a good place to start is www.modsonline.com and download cod2 mod tools and then look at a few tutorials on how to get your radaint up and running

My advice is this:

Open radiant. First learn how to make brushes(modsonline helps, gloves link, use that) then just experiment. You won't make a super awesome original map since this is your first time. Just make some brushes, play around with textures, lighting and models.
Once you have covered the basics WELL and have a basic understanding of the editor(how to make terrain, placing lights, wordspawn settings, prefabs,...again, modsonline is your friend), then try your best and make a map that you will be proud of.
Oh and one last bit: don't have too many projects at the same time. It's better to finish an average map than to have 20 unfinished masterpieces that will eventually never see the light of day.

Other than that it's pretty much straightforward: practice, practice, practice,... Smile

also in cod2 tutorials dled the video 1 and it goes through step by step how to amake a lil building with lights and a spawn but instead of how he selects textures do it different where u go to textures and then usage and then select something other wise it might crash ur radiant
