Here's a youtube list containing everything you'll need, but do keep in mind the engine is quite obsolete and to really make '"good"' maps you're going to slave away dealing with engine problems and wonky brushwork.

gm_black is your man, submaterial and map retexturizer tools too, scene building and posing in general only gets better everytime you do it

it's worthless to invest time into. in 1-2 years Source 1's gonna get abandoned anyway and Source 2 will be the primariy focus

also, hammer is a fucking pain to deal with... best to just not do it
