sorry, I didn't read taht as it was far too complex for a noob like me to understand, I'll hazard a guess and answer your question:
Like i said, the guy came at ME, not the otehr way round, so what was I supposed to do?! I kicked him in the head (karate) and rammed the metal pole into his eye.

I want to make a turret thing where its a normal level and all, and then like turrets start popping out everywhere and a siren goes off for like 20 seconds and you have to hide. COOLEO!

hehe funny...
i dont know how detailed you want to get, but a couple things i'm pretty sure you'll want to change are: 1 get rid of the light entity in front of the machine. stick with your texture lights. 2 give your doors a small lip value to keep them from doing that ugly texture thing that happens when brushes overlap. look at the doors when they are all the way open, you'll see what i mean.

arch alright, it lags did u run a full compile on it? jumps seems really jerky for a corridor map which are the optimal levels for hl engine. So it should'nt be lagging is anyone else finding this problem?

If you use -nowadtextures then I reckon you're likely to be using Q-Tools and should immediately stop mapping or get ZHLT, available on the Links page. NOW.

"its for noobs!"
Yeha, you, you fuckign moron, who in their right mind would not be able to figure out something as basic as this?
how about yo put a bit more effort into showing what else could be done with it?
if it's an example map, try and make it a better example, prick.
and you say you didn't make this map with architecture in mind, I think you just tried to impress ppl by using a cylinder, well taht backfired, didn't it... you wanked around with a cylinder, and you ain't got a fuckign clue how to map, make maps, or talk about maps.
Stop trying to sound big and clever, when all you're doing is making yourself look lie a total noob who can't map for shit, and is pissed off because you can't map. liek a mapping nub.
tbh blah blah whine whine, bitch bithc, is taht all you ever do?
I'd say you just wasted your time talking about nonsense when everyone with a brain won't look at your piece of shit map, and anyone without a brain will downlaod it and not have a clue what to use it for, how about you take this crappy, ill textured, badly mappe, square, ugly, puke colored heap of fucking rotting cunt and fuck off.

it shows you how to make a crappy map. also i put it here for someone who was asking about my maps on mIRC, so I put the only rmf/bsp combo i could find up here, it's got some cool effects, nothign spectacular mind you, but give it a try anyway.

Not bad, but since it's so absolutely small with no real point (unless it's supposed to be an example map) it only get's 2 and a half stars from me, which rounds up to 3.

This map, at the moment, is probably better suited to be in the "Example Maps" catergory. By the way, the sides of the lights are emitting lights since you've textured them with a texture light.

Well mini, I've told you most of it on IRC.
Not a bad map, but not a good one either. The little ship at the start had some weird texture problems. It looked streched in places and was generally too small to fit the size of the player.
The sky texture allows you to see other parts of the map which doesn't look very nice.
The walls lacked detail. The textures themselves were nice (reminded me of Doom for some reason) but the architexture let them down. The constant use of long, twisting hallways wasn't a good idea. You need to add interest to the walls.
The placement of the vent should've been out of sight, so it didn't look too obvious.

Yeah, rating's b0rked, unfortunately.
(This is why a 1 user one rate system is good.)
Not bad. Better than the one ZL you and I played a few days ago...more detail, more atmospheric than the first version or whatnot. I got pwned a lot with the crossbow in the first one, too. :P.
(Then again, I pwned with teh crossbow in Zeromancer so I suppose it was only fair. Why the heck am I using 'pwned' anyways?)

Ok, I see.
Mhh, still those other files could be left out, they're only used during the compile process and serve no other purpose. For the map's source, only the .map or .rmf are necessary. You don't even need to provide both, as they both contain the essential data, the .rmf only stores some extra information for the editor like camera viewpoints and vis-groups. For the playable maps, the .bsp and .pts files are all you need, and for some maps (that use info_nodes) you should also provide the .nod files. All other files can (and should, as it's quite ugly to have them in the maps folder and it also adds unnecessary to the downloads filesize) be left out.

Killer, learn to get some patience. Posting posts like this won't get you help anywhere soon, instead, the community will rather dispise you as yet another 'freakin n00b'. So be patient and show a good attitude, it'll get you further on the long run.
As for your disappearing faces, you probably ran in Software mode. This mode can only display up to about 800 faces. Since you had over 1200 in some area's, some faces will not be drawn in Software mode. Go over to either Direct3D or OpenGL render mode to solve this 'problem'.

Thanks for the heads up Captain P, but i just put the MAP and RMF files in b/c chicken_man is working with me on this, and his email was acting up, so this is the only way I could get it to him.
Here is my reply in englsh format:
"lol look how ugly YOUR ATTITUDE is :D"
you have the minstrels.
leave the chickens alone.
I believe you can fly, fly, jump, now
PS: suck my hairy, sweaty, black balls, bitch.
Like i said, the guy came at ME, not the otehr way round, so what was I supposed to do?! I kicked him in the head (karate) and rammed the metal pole into his eye.
Last time he tried to sell ME a big issue
And on another note:
I'm 21, how old are you?
No, I only 'found' the cat there, and it was already dead when I arrived,
and:
NO! for the hundredth time, I will NOT take your skanky whore mother up teh arse, I don't want the disease again.
so back away from teh mic bitch, back away.
and, uh, at , well, uhm, yeah, what , hh
talk normally retard.
i dont know how detailed you want to get, but a couple things i'm pretty sure you'll want to change are:
1 get rid of the light entity in front of the machine. stick with your texture lights.
2 give your doors a small lip value to keep them from doing that ugly texture thing that happens when brushes overlap. look at the doors when they are all the way open, you'll see what i mean.

"thanks for your comments, btu maybe instead of just saying what's wrong, you could endeavour to add some suggestions too."
suggestion: "my advice, since this looks like it took 10 minutes to make, delete it and start over... and try to keep in mind what i said above."
"Thing is, I can take criticism"
lol yeah... i can see that by how much you typed to try to defend your "map" lol
"and I don't need anyone to stand up for me."
uh... so what? and who would? lol
"Better luck next time"
at what? and better luck on your next map lol...
