Hello, now it works, I recompiled with the correct file WAD! This is the second version of the bedroom of my friend Chicco! Added some elevators, new textures and a secret passage...

Okay, this is good... ++Architecture- You did really good with this, everything looks so real. ++Ramps- Adding ramps was a rather good idea, it made the map more fun. --The Elevator- It was rather dark in that area, and if you stood by it, it quickly took down your health. Also, the side of it looked a bit stretched.
I was expecting a bit more, it was a large open area. I do think it was really creative to remake a whole room, it reminds me of the "rats" maps. I give it a 4.

well not much is changed since your first version of this map, though i still think it's very neat. My favourite part is how cool the closet shutters look and the little detailing like the computer mouse, the coffee steam, etc...
That said, i noticed a couple distractions right away:
-the fan is not shaped like a real fan. google image a ceiling fan and make it look right. i.e., rotate the blades, shape them more creatively, etc..
-If the big thing on the dresser with is supposed to be a flat-screen tv, add a couple simple things to actually make it look like a tv screen, like make the screen itself an illusionary glass texture, and put the tv image underneath it on a seperate brush. make that seperate brush a textlight, so the thing appears backlit. you may have to leave some space between the glass and the texlight for the light to shine through, i'm not sure. This same exact effect applies to the computer screen.
-no sound at all. through some speakers on by that pc and pump some music, an youtube video, ANYTHING =)
-clutter up the floor a little bit to make the room look more lived in, with some clothes, take out containers, bookbag, etc.
Again great map, but not noticeably different from the first one afaik, so again, 4 stars. this map is easily 5 stars with a little extra loving.. = )
p.s. i would love to offer help to build some props for your map if you need any.. i would love an excuse to map something for goldsrc again..

Thanks for the suggestions!

Bottom Line
It might just be the nostalgia talking, but this map has just fallen short in my view.
