Very complex map, but I think the lag is caused by a compile problem. It seems to be running in Fullbright and that indicates a leak, or the compile didn't finish due to error. Only way to tell is either post the compile log, or upload the .rmf.
I think at the time I wanted to capture the feel of a hospital. I agree the poly's are a little high and stuff, but Its only a mess around type of thing... cheers

Smooth, fast and very playable. No snags in this map. Lighting, texture and electrified rails.... great stuff. Also places that each class will excel in, very team minded map. R_speeds peak a little in places, but I didn't see them go over 800. Defense orientated? but not too easy to defend. Yeah, good stuff.
Looks really good, but suffers in the bedrooms because of the windows. The speeds are pushing 2000 in some areas. Apart from that it is a good TFC fun map, I think that because you don't get snagged on everything, there are either a lot of clip brushes, or some good design ideas happening. Love the lift.....

Yeah, the r_speeds are a little high when your on the top of the map, but down the bottom they are not too bad...:-) I really liked the feel of this map, textures matched and lighting, gave it some ambience. I can see why Hint brushes might not have worked, but I read an article on Collective from Jeff Pritchard about Horizontal Hint brushes, have you tried that? Also, if you made the bottom of all the containers into func_entities you might save some count. Either way, R_speeds or not, I like it.

Very Difficult. The tolerances between the jumps are really close, so much so that to get through this, you either play it a hundred times or cheat...?? The camera shots can be a little distracting at times, take the opening sequence. It makes sense that when you whack the guy in the bunker, you get to go through the door. Wasn't all that happy with the transitions either, some of them are a bit sudden and don't give you time to explore. Apart from that I like the concept. I didn't find any bug's and liked the texture, lighting and the white Zen..

This map has a really good 'feel' to it. The scale seems right too. Yeah, cool textures, ambience and I love those pylons... Great stuff... I want more !

I really think you should work on joining all these maps together. The brush work and lighting are OK as well as the textures, but each map suffers from size, and played seperately, they are not really playable. You have four maps that look good, connected they might be really good. By connected, I mean joining them into a single map, rather than level transitions. Looking at all 4 map's I say good work, well done. Looking at them seperatley.... well, sorry, but I am not inspired. PS: I didn't kill your rating, not sure who did.
Like I did say in the ShoutBox, if you cant run this level for now you need to just copy both tfc and tfc2 wads and place them in the valve folder. I'll update this level with wadinclude as soon as possible...

What is with the info_player_start? again...
Actually this time I decided to run it in DMC, just for fun. Didn't change the fact that your stuck in the concrete. Random placement of weapons that don't regenerate ???
Good lighting, textures and space... this map is crying out for expansion. Have you thought of joining all your maps together to create something that is playable ?

Start in the concrete... I am getting used to that. Interesting effect having the steel crates tied to the func_pushable entity, but you can't push them. Nice lighting, nice textures, nice map. However it is about as interesting as the last one.... You maps show promise, try spending a few more minutes on them.

More info (because of bloody limit), the map is for TFC, is probably going to be either a 'skillz' type map, or something based on the same premise as the recent 'theclimb' map. This is only the start section, and im submitting it simply because Im quite proud of some of the ambient features Ive put in (like some sunlight dappling on the water) and some nice custom sounds!

I really liked this TFC map. Didn't quite understand why you would put in the Vent Shafts, but figured that the sneaky scouts might like it. The spawn protection didn't seem to work? and I didn't like the buttons being shootable only. Apart from that as I said, I really liked it. Some good places to Conc jump too as well. Yeah, I like this map......

Looks like good brush work and good use of textures. Gives it a good feel, lighting is consistant with the theme and play is actually Ok. Did you overdo the Monstermaker, or did you want endless snarks? I found that they don't really swim that well do they... For a 6-8 player DM, the only thing I would recommend is making it Bigger, as there will be a lot more Death than match.. and maybe a few more breaks in the slime cover? Good effort for a first map.

It's not really a commitment. It may be an okay map but there are a few problems when it comes to playing it with more than four people. No, I am actually a very lazy cba sort of person, but when you're mucking around with something as stupidly logical like Worldcraft it's piss really. (the rendering however, which I havn't got right, you actually need knowledge of other relms aside from common sense). Wood

not bad, not bad at all. when i first saw it, i thought "boring..." but then i played it. its pretty fun, even for 1 player for a bit. the part where the glass breaks and you fall into the snark pit made me smile. a few breaks in the concrete make it not so uniform, stops it from being so boring. however, i wouldnt reccomend it for more than 2 players. 3 stars.

Well, I think that it`s inpossible to make a good map in 30 minutes, but reasons are interesting sometimes :). And this map prooves it. Keep on working and try to make "one-week" map

Interesting... I have never run a finished map that has no info_player_start and calls the custom level propagation.
Apart from that, it looks pretty sound for 56 minutes, The top of your reactor core not being a func_xxx entity, or a unit off the ceiling splits the roof into heaps of textured polygons... but then again, as you say, more than two players is not worth thinking about, so r_speeds are a mute point. Anyway all you would have to do is shoot a blue crate, and end it all. The lighting is a bit bright, but good. The slime seems to move well, and the reactor looks good. Try taking 57 minutes next time?

Obviously you guy's have a copy of all_wads.wad ? Any chance of uploading it, so those of us who don't have non standard CS wad's can enjoy this magnificent map.
Neo, For a fist map this is pretty good. I don't have access to the Mod, so thanks for the info_player_start. I took a look at the .rmf file, but without the specific .fgd it is difficult to tell if the entities are doing what they are meant to. This is a good start. (Work on your brush placement) Keep mapping, Oh, and good to see an enrty from a different Mod !!
