Install the [[Grimwar/SDK setup|Grimwar SDK]], then choose a small first project.

== A first map ==

# Open Vertex from VSDK and save a map as <code>my_arena.vertex</code> in your own source folder.
# Draw a floor and a few walls. Apply a material from the Grimwar catalog.
# Add <code>info_player_spawn</code> points for Order and Union. Keep them above the floor with room to stand.
# For a first King of the Hill test, add a neutral <code>game_capture_point</code>.
# Open Build, choose '''Preview''' and your platform, then '''Play in Game'''.
# In Grimwar, host the map with '''Local''' access and test movement, spawns, and the capture point.

Continue with [[Grimwar/Mapping|Mapping]] for map naming, entities, thumbnails, and Release builds. [[Vertex/Editing]] covers the editor controls.

== A custom sound ==

Open '''Map → Content…''', choose '''Sound''', and import a WAV, Ogg Vorbis, or MP3 file. Select an appropriate playback type, then assign it to an <code>env_ambient</code> entity's '''Custom Cue'''. Build and play the map to hear it.

[[Grimwar/Custom content]] explains looping sounds, reusable packs, dependencies, and using the same media from a VMod.

== A server mod ==

In VSDK, select '''VMod''' and '''Create…'''. Edit the generated source, validate it, then build and playtest. A script-only VMod does not need Unity. Follow [[Grimwar/VMod]] for a working command example and map-bound scripts.

== Share your work ==

Keep the editable source. Distribute the generated add-on folder, or build Release and publish it through Grimwar's Addons screen. See [[Grimwar/Steam Workshop addons|Workshop publishing]].
