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

And its impossible to watch a demo of a map without the actual map, too.

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.

Shift+Left click should be default.

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?
