What is the best Game Mode to use to start up and what not and to make basic edits and mapping done to it?

Well it depends on what gamemode you want.

It would be wise to check here.

However if you are going for RP, please.. please.. stay away from the NGG edits..

And the majority of scripts are easy to use and most come with mapping!

Good Luck!

Then don't use it. United Gaming RP isn't that bad.
