Erm, backspace and retype it?
2 Days? I take it that you've ignored all the warnings about 'don't release your first map...' and '.. good maps don't take 2 days...'
Also, why didn't you just attach it? I hate dealing with file hosting sites.

Edit: You linked me to a DEMO

Post by: Eiii on July 22, 2007, 05:29:33 PM: ...why not just post the map itself?

Post by: Corporal Perez on July 23, 2007, 07:15:39 AM: Here is the map. You should be able to watch the demo now.

And how come you cant upload bsp?

Post by: blaa on July 23, 2007, 12:15:20 PM: Well, it is not as awful as some first maps are. You have used some funny ladder texture, might want to look this thread(tutorial of making ladders): http://dplogin.com/forums/index.php?topic=5439.0

Also, the ceiling is a bit too low, its not fun to bump your head all the time. And the flag rooms ceiling whis is made of light texture feels a bit wrong.

Guess you could keep on working with the map (scale the building a bit higher and bigger especially), because atm there is no gameplay because the map is too little.

Post by: jitspoe on July 26, 2007, 01:46:24 AM: Before you release any map - even test/beta maps - you should fully compile them with vis and lighting. You need to work on your texturing a lot -- are you aware that you can have different textures on each face of a brush?
