There are almost certainly a couple threads like this already, but I think it would be a good idea to collect a large list of mapping resources and make it available to those who are interested. All the previous attempts haven't made it terribly far as far as I can tell. I'm sure most mappers have done a lot of searching for various resources and have come across a few treasures. This thread is to make them easily available in one convenient location :)
Assuming this idea takes off, I'll be updating this post with the links posted in this thread.

If, for a good reason, you object to one of the sites I have linked here, just let me know and I will remove it.
With the exception of my own site, I am not directly affiliated to any of these websites.
Hope this helps a few people out :)

:/ none of the links work for GTK 1.2.1.3. They only take you to 1.5. Wut

First of all, the application you mean is named Radiant, not GTk.
Secondly, stop whining about not being able to find a deprecated version of Radiant. 1.5 is current.

First of all, the application you are referring to is called, GtkRadiant-1.2.1.3.exe.
Secondly, I was not "whining". One of the tutorial hyperlinks advertised GtkRadiant-1.2.1.3.exe; and instead redirected me to GtkRadiant-1.5.0.
Dolts like you don't deserve the interwebz.

Just don't call it "GTK" as it can be confused by a lot of other programs, not like anyone here doesn't understand what you mean. :P
-
They only take you to 1.5 since the GTKradiant people removed all older versions from their site.

http://redsaurus.net/phpBB3/
I don't think it's on any of the lists above; relatively inactive but still very useful forum for solving any issues with the mac versions of GtkRadiant.
-
Wasn't there a thread with reference pictures for dozens of real locations that could be used for mapping inspiration?
-
I would also like to know where that went. :(
-
It is right here:
The reference material thread (http://tremulous.net/forum/index.php?topic=9099.0)

ohai, didn't look in the other topic ;x. Thanks.

Heads up on Soundsnap: they are now "partially" free. http://www.soundsnap.com/change (http://www.soundsnap.com/change)

5 sounds a month??? not much... :P

TRak ! i think this is the best bloody page that anyone has ever posted. TY
made a few maps and slowly getting better at it, this is a great help.
and before anyone say's I've seen your shite maps, take in mind that one of
them is nearly always in the Bricosoft most played list. ;D
cheers mate.

my website is outdated, the new link is just http://imn2rc.com ;)

For sounds, you can also use this:
http://www.flashkit.com/soundfx/ (http://www.flashkit.com/soundfx/)
Although are intended to be used in FLASH, you can download them as mp3 or wav.

Very cool, thanks for the site.

So I'm thinking it's about time for some cleanup.
I've gone through each category, and the links below are either broken or gone altogether. A lot of them are pages from ign.com, which keeps displaying a 'maintenance in progress' page, but I'm assuming that they are just gone.

Um.. yeah, all the Gamespy links are gone or something, which is extremely frustrating!
I WANT MR.CLEAN TEXTURES!!!!!!! >:( >:( >:( >:( lolz
If someone could find an alternate website, it would be greatly appreciative.
Sorry for repeating what others have said before...

TRaK, man. I'm here to inform you that some of your links don't work.
Right now I'm just doing some texture surfing, so that's the only section I'm checking, but you should know that the following links are broken or otherwise inaccessable;
The Wadfather
Photorealistic Texture Pack
Q3world texture links
Undulation
Speedy's textures
MrClean's
2theCore
Nunuk's fragopolis
Cardigan's skyboxes
jaj's skyboxes
StrangeFate's Textures
ALSO, ShadowNinjaDudeMan's website is down, as are Supertanker's and Gareth's.
I know, I know, hypocrisy (http://tremulous.net/forum/index.php?topic=5481.0), right?

You can change my website to http://sites.google.com/site/cocoapet/ (Thanks to Plague Bringer.)
I won't be updating it any time soon, though.
-
I think some of these links might be out of date?
-
BE TE DUBYAH;
Urban Terror's forum has some good and valid mapping links (http://forums.urbanterror.net/topic/141-level-design-links/) that we could reference here (and hey, TRaK, there you are!).

Flashkit is the best for free sounds. The only other site of its quality costs for its sound effects.
