Anyone know where I can find a good walkthrough that gives me alot of information on Mapping?

Google for this kind of tutorials in this order

1. Setting up
2. First room
3. Texturing (Texture application tool)
4. Clip tool
5. Vertex tool

after those...
1. think of a good theme for the map. (im writing ~large tutorial about layout, theme, assets, etc.)
2. make an layout of the map (pen & paper... just simple lines)
3. think about the textures (what kind of textures you're gonna use in the map, what kind of custom textures do you need and make/request them, etc.)
4. open hammer and start mapping.
