I don't think its 5 stars Floater, look at the texturing. Although, it is a good map, or maybe i'm just blinded by the fact that it is decent and all the other maps lately have been utter crap

wrangler, man. this has to be the BEST!! map i've played in a long time. you are a awesome mapper. i think this might just take 1st place. (but i dont want to judge yet.)
Come on man. Encouraging a noob is one thing, but rating this map 4 stars is rediculous. The whole map is a room the size of a closet with some prefabs in it. Please take this out of the completed section. Yes it is a good start, but it is FAAAARRRRRRRR from a completed map.
Well, I see someone read the "In The Beginning" tutorial series. This is pretty good for a first map, with the monster_maker added. Very nice! Since it's your first map, I'll give a good rating. 4/5 stars. You're on your way!

omg, that's shit m8. seriously, don't bother d/ling this map, it's not very good. the two ruotes from ct spawn could be cut into one, as they lead to the same place (EXACTLY) and one takes longer and has no tactical advantage. i think you're missing the point of cs mapping. look as csd_italy for a near perfect example of a layout that points players to one point in the map, but offers tactical advantages between the routes. also you have trees and shrubs growing out of concrete... and the texture usage is horrible, teh brushwork is only just above average, in fact, the "rocks" and outer "jungle" is, well.. totally crappy, and doesn't line up for shit. ps, you need to read a tutorial about the triangle terrain method. or give up on a jungle themed map. and also (lol) the map needs to be bigger if you want it to at least have good gameplay.

..but overall, its very nice. It could probably accomodate some more architectural detail in the room with the security booth, especially on the walls or ceiling, but that chair is nice, as for the lighting in most of the map. The end also got me, I wasnt expecting that. Very nice job.

if its a svencoop map please say in the description. from what i see it looks ok but could do with some work. as the sc map making guide says, "dont rely on a gimmick for your map. make sure players are constantly moving.". from what i see you have to sit there and shoot all the aliens coming towards you. btw, are those alien models yours? cos if not you should credit the person.

bananamaker try compiling it to work on steam. See how to configure WorldCraft with Steam here (http://www.siteduzero.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=18953) If it works on his computer and not yours maybe his computer has more power? Did you try reinstalling cs? Try it on cs 1.6 and tell me if it works. I'm also french so if you need me to translate this I can just msg me tdhaxor.at.hotmail.com

so I should start all over aww man well If you say so. And Yes I've been using the sites tutorials. I started trying out a bit of everything at the beginners tutorial, and I'm working on intermediate now. I think I'm going to have a look at clipping things

In the download have a look at how I have used the minimum amount of brush possible for it to look the way it does (in the areas I fixed). For eg: the sky brush in one of the big boxes only just fits over the walls.
And I also tried to have a uniform wall depth of 4 units for the main walls so that it will be easier to find stuff that's astray.
Final note: you should concentrate on mapping precisely & neatly before you worry about leaks because the neatly you map, the less leaks you have to fix.

I actually think you should start again for this map because it's bloody hard & time comsuming to correct errors when everything's been set to 1 unit. I like to use 16 unit grids.
It won't take you long if you look at the tutorials on this site or elsewhere. Have you looked at the beginner tutorials?
And you shouldn't start with such a big map for a first map, you should start with something small & work your way up. You could even make lots of little maps & join them to make a big one so you can find errors more easily or cordon a big map.
I'll give you what I've done but I haven't fixed the leaks; the brushwork is quite awful I must say & until you map clean it will be almost impossible to find the leaks.

Also, where you have a block representing a wall & you want three blocks for the wall in order to texture the three parts differently, I would make the first block, then clip it into the subsequent blocks so there is no room for error. If you do little things like this every step of the way & try not to use small grid units, leaks won't pop up often.

I find that to find those leaks you should first fix those crossing brushes & generally make things tidy before you go on to something else on the map.
also you have trees and shrubs growing out of concrete... and the texture usage is horrible, teh brushwork is only just above average, in fact, the "rocks" and outer "jungle" is, well.. totally crappy, and doesn't line up for shit. ps, you need to read a tutorial about the triangle terrain method. or give up on a jungle themed map. and also (lol) the map needs to be bigger if you want it to at least have good gameplay.
sorry - try again
