Black Mesa had constructed 4 portals to various locations. Xen was their main destination but for some reason the other portal are ending up in strange places.

This map has 4 areas connected by a main chamber.
Jungle, Snow, Xen and Offices.

Jungle is all about tight areas with emphasis on verticality.
Offices is all about corridor fights where everyone is on equal level.
Xen is about low-gravity fights with minor platforming and various routes.
Snow emphasizes on simple, open but balanced and fun shooting without any complexity to navigation.

Awesome map. Although you forgot to bundle sound/ambience/fluorescent.wav. Some Half-Life fanatics like me have memorized every single file that comes with the original game but that's quite inefficient. resgen has a command line switch to exclude the default files: RESGen.exe -b rfa/res_valve.rfa. Then the .res file should list only custom files used in the map.

Huh, I could have sworn that fluorescent was part of Half-Life... I'll keep this in mind and update sometime in the future. Thanks for this.

@Bruce , I don't know how to quote/reply you. But I have made the change and removed the ambient_generics that were using that .wav file.

aww, why not include the file instead of removing the ambient_generics?
btw it's from opposing force. i would've just copied it from there to get it working...prior to the update that is.

@kimilil I decided it wasn't really worth keeping. The sounds were only in 1 small area and were being drowned by other noises anyway.

Looks like you still left one entity with fluorescent.wav. It's not a big deal but consider that my server already has sound/ambience/fluorescent.wav and I don't know if it's the one you intended, but it would get propagated to other players. That's a minor issue but what if someone's server does not have it, and one player has it and another does not, then the one with it will be at a disadvantage having more difficulty hearing someone else's steps. And Half-Life does not complain about missing sounds like it does about missing models or sprites.
