My idea was to start in the room and to have to climb upwards into the ceiling area and up again to maintenance areas and such (all straight above the first room until you get to a puzzle which results in most of the room being destroyed and having to climb down through crumbling / burning wreckage.
I was thinking a main room with about 5 smaller layers on top.
I'll see if I cam condense it down into one room.

WHAAAA! I spend 5 hours making my room last night to post this morning but i forgot my thumb drive! Mine uses all custom textures (added in a WAD) and two models (also included). Mine was mostly a room but for performance issues i have had to turn some of the main windows into shutters so it's more of a room with little sections because of the greenhouse in the middle that players can't get to (because of the cycler models).
Also, I may have gone too far
. Feel free to remove/destroy my room so it actually compiles (it takes 15 minutes on a fast VIS compile). May post tomorrow!

I'm still in too just to be clear.
I'm building my new idea right now! Whoo!
Edit: Almost done!
Also, just because I'm kind, my room can be used as a hallway if you wish. It also contains a neat little puzzle that was a ball ache to set up.

New custom tree models are nice, they sway gently in the wind like so few other tree models do. Plus having models, I rendered out a nice treeline texture for all sorts of purposes. Ripped the animated water from NS, and spent a good hour on google search studying tile bathrooms

That is really good brush detail. I hope you used func_walls, or it will be a real pain for the compiller. I assume this WILL be more than one map, for performance reasons?

Urbanebula: sure that's fine, i guess little nooks to add dimension or functionality are ok, just not whole seperate rooms. It looks great can't wait to play = )
Captain Terror you should set a deadline.i was thinking i would just keep updating/compiling new maps as they come, and posting a link to the most current compilation each time. Maybe after a while of no one submitting i'll put the official download in the vault?

Nice Raver where's the link? = )
I'm compiling the first release now with my mine, jeffmod and Hlife_hotdog's maps.
hlife_hotdog: that map is amazing, and you really push the limits on a single room but that map is amazing so i will not nitpick. It does make you wonder about what the definition of one room is tho
JeffMod: your map is in but you might want to update the gameplay a little to make it a little more easy or coherent, or you can leave it too = )
K for latecomers and oldcomers alike, some tips to making your room easier for me to add:
1. Try to make it as close to one single room as possible. Liberties and exceptions will be aloud so don't worry too hard about this rule, but try to keep it close to a single room as possible.
2. The room must have one entrance and one exit door. Please make them functioning func_doors or func_door_rotating or whatev, or else i'll make them open with my own interpretation = )
3. Remember, you can always edit and resubmit your map, so don't feel you have to get it perfect before you submit!
That's all i can think of get those maps in = )
edit: Rooms version 1 beta here, with maps by me, JeffMod, and Hlife_Hotdog.

You'd need more than single rooms.
By the way, you can see the other 2 rooms through the glass roof in JeffMOD's room as well. It looks awful.

Rimrook: Nice i'll check it out soon! = )
Urb: I'll check out the hl_tree.mdl thingie. I was aware of the other issue and that will be addressed in the next version. I might end up breaking up levels into there own bsps for a couple reasons, one is that bright light from one room bleeds into the room next to it, and very weirdly, lights i set to flicker (using custom appearance) in the very last room, made textlights in the very first room flicker as well fsr! = )
raver: as i mentioned earlier i can't open your .rmf so you need to supply me with a different one!

I've already added your content to group, i just need a .rmf i can open or if i can't open maybe someone else can add your map for me. Maybe someone else can try to open raver's .rmf to see if it's my machine/setup that is the problem?)
For amusement purposes only, here is the 2nd release of rooms with updated hallways and some bugs fixed. (Please let me know of any other bugs/problems you find)
Rooms current version this link will be the same from now on.

Post #261195
if you look at this version you'll notice your room will connect via changelevel. Like i said before i may do this for every map as the lighting from one rooms seems to impact others close by, as well as that weird custom appearance flicker/textlight error.
I have your content included with the download and the changelevel and connecting hallway is done, i just need an .rmf i can open.

that problem is addressed in the current version. I just used full vis, and as Muzz said, full vis allows you to hide stuff behind sky brushes. Thanks to Muzz! = )

No problem.
I actually have a small request: Why not let me do the final compile? It would be a great opportunity for me to test the new version of my Compilator, plus, i've added in HLFIX so if you have some complex off-grid geometry, HLFIX will make sure that you won't get off-grid vertices or cracks in your architecture.

About the full vis and hiding stuff. You cant actually ... full vis just change the distance the brushes are visable.

Friday will be the next chance I get to copy over the files I want to keep before I format the fucker so god knows when I'll be able to finish up the room and upload it.
Should have done it earlier but I got excited when the parts arrived

About the full vis and hiding stuff. You cant actually ... full vis just change the distance the brushes are visable.dude i'm telling you, look at the rmf and play the map: it's unhanged, and you can't see either map through jeffmod's ceiling anymore. As Muzz said, you can hide structures behind skybrushes with full vis, the Rooms map proves it
Muzz: sure that sounds great = ) For starters see if you can integrate raver's map for me(cuz i can't open the rmf fsr). copy and paste ravers map into "rooms1.rmf" and connect to the mineshaft hallway provided. You'll also have to edit the first map ("rooms.rmf"} and add ravers door to the end of the mineshaft.
If you want to do subsequent compiles from now on that's fine with me, awesome actually! = )
SpaG: take your time, you'll still have your map in before Urby, aww.. = )

Oh so if there closer up to the skybrush you'll still see them, is that what you mean?
I'm working on my rooms:source map tonight. I can't continue with raver's map because i can't open the .rmf, but it think Muzz is going to take care of that issue as well the final compile of the whole project. (muzz can you confirm if you're going to take care of the integration of raver's map, and/or if you can open his source file?)
As soon as raver's map is included, it'll be Rimrook's room that goes next. The current order is:
Captain Terror
JeffMod
Hlife_hotdog
Raver
Rimrook
With more maps soon to come by:
SpaG
Urbanebula
And possibly more from:
TJB
srry
potatis
Muzz?
moar?...
If all those people submit those maps we'll have over 10 rooms in no time and beat the Rooms:S to the 10-room mark! Get Crackin Slackers! = P
