I liked how your idea came out jits, so here's beta 6.

Looks good :)

- Black: Add a little bit light (both bases).
- Blue: Fix the wall (only one base).
- Green: Add clip brushes (both bases).

I really don't want to open up the walls even more in there, so the black, dark places will need to be looked over for now. The wall, I'll look into that, I've actually already had a few problems with similar things where the walls don't even look misaligned. As for the ledges being clipped, I wanted it like that so you could crawl in or out of that spot fairly easily.

I managed to bust out beta 7 before I installed the new video card, so here it is. It should be nearing it's final stages now, but if you have idea for map eye candy go ahead and post it and I'll get around to it when I solve this little problem.

*I was going to start putting entities into bankrob today too so I could at least get a beta stage map by the end of the week. Looks like that will be postponed as well.

Looks like you inadvertently deleted a brush on the long archway on the blue side.  Also on the red side, by that same archway, the stair railing doesn't match up cleanly.  As for the pillars, I was thinking the inverse of what you did, but I guess that works, too.

Anyway, it's up for play testing.

When I can actually work on it, I need to take a look, because bsp is still acting up and I've been working on the computer all day to try and fix it. I see the archway problem, that's weird and I have no clue how I managed to delete that without noticing. =\

Since jitspoe helped me fix BSP, here is beta 8 with the archway back to how it's supposed to be =]

Yeah the transfer to the new bsp messed up a few things.

Uploaded to the beta server.  Also, in that shot T3RR0R15T posted, the phong shading is back on the edges.  Looks like it's only in that base.  I think the best solution would be to make the sand flush with the stairs.  It looks weird having sand with a 90 degree edge.

I finally got around to taking a look at this map tonight.  Very nice work.  Also,

- Green: Add clip brushes (both bases).

I think T3RR0R15T means you should put little wedges of clip brushes in so you can move along the wall without getting caught by the ledge of the window.

Play tested this a bit - seems like the path straight across the bridge is about twice as fast as any other path.  If you take the low path, somebody could probably grab and cap before you even reached the base.  You mentioned something about keeping the sky low so you can't just jump across the map quickly -- that would make the side path about equal.  As it is, going straight across the bridge is way faster, so you may want to reconsider.

I have finally put the finishing touches into this map, lowered the skybox by 32 units, and fixed texture problems. Didn't add clips as terrorist pointed out, I always figure that if you get stuck, it's your own fault and should remain a part of gameplay.
