Look in the general discussions area. Horve (vig) has posted a few tips and stuff.
Firstly you need to download Soldat PolyWorks

Also, looking in the map making/resources area, I found this

Poke around in the map making/resourses subforums... theres heaps of little bits and pieces.

Have fun :)

No problems. Don't forget to check out the Soldat Mappers League (I think its at http://sml.u13.net) And host your maps there.
Take advantage of custom sceneries as well, and make sure when you upload it to Soldat Forums, that you include screenies.

^_^

Edit: I also found this tutorial. It might also help you with your mapping.

Edit 2: Eye, look at this.... I found another map dump :) http://tms.jrgp.org/index.php Good old jrgp donating to the Community as usual. /Applaudes.

lol... that tutorial sucks... well, all mapmaking tutorials sucks IMO. You will have to make your own way and learn by yourself how to make maps. If you have any question post it here but read a huge tutorial that tries to make you know how to do maps won't help you at all.  ;)

...And don't get mad because of Horve posts... he just tries to help the mapmaking community, so ignore his insults, get only the constructive criticism :D

You just havent got used to how all of it works, once you make your first map, your ready to make your second because you know what not to do, then you release your second map thinking you've got it, and someone points something else out, and so on and so forth... its never ending but its fun, nevertheless...

http://forums.soldat.pl/index.php?topic=7283.0 this is the best tutorial in my opinion.
Do your best, and when you can't do anything more, relase the map.
There always will be something to point out, but because of that you get better mapper :P

Geekier than you!
