Laptop broke, and the Desktop wont run the map maker.

 Sorry guys.

OK, I've been on vacation and have been unable to work on it. I'll be starting it again soon.
How do I make jump pads? And ladders seem pretty fast in this game. As for the tunnels, I'll make little covers for them, so it will be hard to shoot at.

Both, probably. I intend on using the Octolith (flag) placements from MPH for this map. However, IIRC, Combat hall does not support CTF. I'm wrong probably.

I also realized I will be having problems with the VIS, as the map is very open. Its not big, however.

I wouldnt exactly call it "planning". I literally have a full 3D complete version of the map in front of my, and all I have to do is copy what I see. Its a good idea for my first map.

Also, I got up, and worked on it for an hour. This is what I did so far:

-realized the bottom of the ledge does NOT have the same texture as the top. It is the same texture as the ceiling in the hallway.

-Right morph ball tunnel complete. *Question* In the map creator, if I set the grid to 64, is one block big enough for a player to crouch and hide under?

-Right extrusion complete.

-Left Extrusion complete.

-Border detail for 2nd story was worked on.

-map was thinned. again.

Ok, thanks. making ladders is more complicated than I thought.


Also, I will be using this as somewhat of a progress log. Heres what I did today:

Day 2
-Map resized. Turned on MPH and went to combat hall, and found it was WAY offscale.

-hallway(1st floor) completely finished. Attributes include slightly lowered floor, open slit in second part of wall, and lighted "doorway".

-Ladder replaced by chain link fence. Ladder will probably be introduced in the "full detail" version, which will come out after I get the main arena finished, compiled, lighted, and uploaded.

-2nd floor ledge 1 almost complete. Minor detailing work on rim of upper floor.

-realized there is a "3rd story ledge" near the ceiling that wont be rechable. The will be fairly easy to complete.

Okay, thanks. I'm halfway done with it as we speak. 

Also, I think I might have made the map on a slightly larger scale. I hope it still works.
And what is the texture name for ladders? I currently have a rock wall. (I have set the brush face as a ladder)

Here is a video showing the map. I plan to make the "S" shaped tunnel/bridge path that leads to the second half of the upper floor accessable by crouch only (-the bridge of course). The jump pad will be replaced by a ladder.

I'm starting my first map soon, and I decided to make it a close copy of Metroid Prime Hunters "Combat Hall". That map is incredibly ballanced and is perfect for small groups, around 2 or 4. I have already thought of the weapons placement, and I am quite farmiliar with the map, so I will use this to get myself farmiliar with the map maker. After that, I plan on making something more challanging, like Ice Hive. Look forward to it!

I am looking for a clan. Right now, I'm not really skilled, but I'm not one of those sucky newbies/no-names  you see on line. I need a clan that could help me get better, and isnt competitively-oriented.
Any suggestions are gladly accepted.

Ok , Ive been playin this game for a little bit, but I find theres some maps with "ramps" on them and areas that the ramps lead to. You have to run and jump off the ramps to get  to the spot. However, I fall just short, and I'm not the only one. But I do see people making it. How do I get more air off ramps?
