Some mapping links:

http://hl.logout.fr/?p=optimisation

A french site with general mapping but in specific a good optimisation guide, shame I can't read french.

http://www.halfwit-2.com/?page=tutorials&category=1

A great site for tutorials. ^ It's from some of the old sdk nuts tutorials

http://www.mapping-tutorials.de/forum/
German forum with (like the name says) mapping tutorials, texturing tutorials, modeling tutorials and coding tutorials, plus a nice community that helps you if you have problems in any of the mentioned stuff.

Halflife source & Halflife source FGD file.

http://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki ... Source.fgd
Halflife source deathmatch FGD file.

I think the Deathmatch is the same FGD file. But To be certain here it is anyway.

http://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki ... Source.fgd

I added here just because I've been looking for it
