Yes I am working on detailed rooms. Yes, sorry about falling out, I forgot about it. The items in the supply crates were suppose to be batterys But I guess I should change that. Thank you!

It's your fault for not having nodes though It looks alright from the picture but I see boxes and there not loved very much sadly... 2.5 stars but 3 cause there is none.

Dv8 thankyou, I hope it plays well... Trapt I know I know I feel let down too! Next time I won't dissapoint. Rabids stuff is superb and every server should run them.

I forgot to mention that I thought the ambience was excellent. Except I don't like the water sound when there was no water running.
And by the way, that damn corridor really sucked. It seemed you didn't know what to put in it, so you put pipes and valves coming out of the walls, which shows lack of thought and resorting to models for detail.
And Dv8 - If you are looking for good custom source maps, I really recommend some of Rabids stuff.

habboi, I have added it to the rotation on AnB Custom CSS Chicago @ 69.28.221.247 We are always looking for Custom Source Maps :^) we will let you know how it goes

Um, how 'bout on a brush-based entity, that comes up fullbright? Or does ZHLT light flags do that already--I'm pretty new at lighting, 'cause usually 'am too impatient to run HLrad. :0

Well nobody likes my maps you see and this is my third online map thats never been hosted. I tend to host it for an hour and still nobody joins. Console says they join but then they leave cause dll takes too long. I would love to play this on servers and tbh it's a bit early for everyone to have seen. Maybe in a few weeks people will see it's an alright map and host it for a bit. I tend to hope this when mapping. I feel sad when no-one hosts it
Try playing with bots cause they're quire good and thanks for the review.

Very nice indeed. Your effort really shows.
+ The architecture is nice + I liked the use of sound -- ambient sound is something I haven't got to grips with yet very well. +I like the layout also, it should be fun to play with others. +The detail is good, I think it's a convincing recreation of the location you describe in the map introduction text.
- I did find the physics lockers strange - when I found them they were rocking back and forth of their own accord, which I thought was a bit wierd.
I've given it 5 stars as I would've given it 4.5 but as Rabidmonkey says we don't have half ratings.
I'd love to give this map a bash online. Any servers running it anywhere?

I'm with Trapt on a lot of the points.
It has a lot of really weird detail choices, too (valves sticking from walls?) and the physics lockers are ANNOYING UP THE ASS. You also are missing corner bits on all the angle architecture in the halls which makes it look lazily done, and yeah, the spotlight fx are whored. (You can do it with one yknow, but the beams don't even come out of fluros like that [even in really dark or dusty areas]).
And yeah. Weird prop choices and placement. Just seems like a random amalgam of various props stacked in piles around a room. Doesn't really fit the theme.
Texture selection is odd, too (I like the raincheck inspiration though ;D) - The thing about the texture set is that it needs a lot of architectural detail to look proper (or at least proper proppage) - Sometimes in the corridors the flat walls look a bit odd.
I'll give yah 3 1/2 as well, but since I'm nice and we don't have half-ratings, I'll award it 4.

Oh and I would like to point out that the next map I make won't be advertised online until 70% is at least done. You see I showed people de_boshi when it was at 35% and it put pressure on me to finish it quickly. Anyway I learnt from my mistakes and I suggest that you to refrain from doing so to save a lot of stress.

That was a very nice review! I agree on all those pointers and I don't see much point on improving it because it was yet another lesson. The future maps will adapt to those pointers and I think you were very fair. Thanks.
+ It really showed off HL2's fantastic AI... The phrase 'nowhere to hide' comes into thought.
- you could fall off the edge of the map
- 2-D skybox
- No point having a jeep on such a small map
+ R-speeds were fine
- No crowabar or Gravity gun
- All items in supply crates were Batteries
Overall, a very good first attempt but not a very good map...
You've taken a good step into source mapping. Keep at it
First real map thats loved
Sure, it's square, but I didn't want to change the map to much, It's a remake.
(P.S don't blame me for the bot's stupidity)
Trapt I know I know I feel let down too! Next time I won't dissapoint.
Rabids stuff is superb and every server should run them.
Where?
Sven co-op: source got one.. But that isn't released yet.
And by the way, that damn corridor really sucked. It seemed you didn't know what to put in it, so you put pipes and valves coming out of the walls, which shows lack of thought and resorting to models for detail.

and I can more than likely get this map hosted on my clans server.
I'd be glad to

Sorry. But this is awful. I mean, I am a terrible mapper compared to some people here -- and I could've put this together in an hour or so.
And the hostages don't even work. You have to put nav nodes in to get them to move y'know.......
Everything is square, and there is no real detail.
Only gets one star I'm afriad. Even from me.

If I have time, I might go and get some screenshots of some things I disliked or want changed.
