what is the appropriate dimensions for the maps to be? specifics for map types? does it matter what game its on? css/gmod/csgo?

 

is there a proper way to make tunnels? < im stacking like 2 blocks together for the side walls then making the 'tunnel' all jaggedy but looks nice to a certain extent

 

better resolution for custom textures?

 

is there a website that has a metric ton of prefabs?

 

optimizing tutorials?

 

lighting guide?

 

custom textures? mine are really bad / don't work

If you are talking about size,a lot of factors depends on it. Is it for zombie survival with 90 people or 40? This really depends on which gamemode is for (Trade server maps are small compare to Zombie Escape in Csgo and Gmod)

I'm not sure what do you mean by "proper". Do you mean like a boxy tunnel or a curve tunnel?

 

better resolution for custom textures?

There is a few sites that provide custom textures.

Ex. http://www.tophattwa....com/downloads/

 

Otherwise,you can ask someone to make a specific texture.

 

is there a website that has a metric ton of prefabs?

 

http://www.tophattwa....com/downloads/ - This one does not have a "metric" ton of prefabs

https://developer.va...ategory:Prefabs

http://gamebanana.com/prefabs/games/2 prefab for css(could work for other games)

optimizing tutorials?

Plenty of optimization tutorials on youtube(3kphilips,tophatwaffle, etc.

 

lighting guide?

Tophatwaffle and 3kphilips has tutorials on lighting

 

custom textures? mine are really bad / don't work

tophattwaffle's website has custom textures downloads
