I'm looking to delve into programming for games. I wanted to go and develop maps and stuff for Quake 4, but for whatever reason I can't get the editor to work correctly so that's on the backburner indefinately. I was wondering if anyone knows if its easier to develop stuff using the Source engine, specifically Counter-Strike, or the Unreal engine (used in UT2k4.) I'm not looking to make the next commercial mod, but I would like to be able to create my own maps with a little bit of ease, and then move on from there.
As far as I go, I haven't built maps since using the Build Engine with Duke Nukem 3d, and I have some programming experience, specifically with .Net stuff. I'm not expecting to create Dust3 or Face4, but I'm in desperate need of a way to stimulate myself, as work is NOT doing it for me anymore. TIA.
