Help:Mapping tutorials

To make maps, users will need to install the Killing Floor SDK found in the "Tools" tab in Steam. After installing, users will then be allowed to make any map to their liking. If they are unsure on how to make maps or do not even know their way around the SDK, they are advised to view these guides made by contributors here in the KF wiki.

These tutorials will teach and guide beginners to make from the simplest of maps to something more complex. It will also teach them how to plan their maps and help them utilise hotkeys and more. Eventually, these graceful beginners will one day be able to call themselves "Mappers".
