hey, enjoyed playing on the map can't wait till its finished hope u tell me . well good map enjoyed it really well but may i suggest when the light dim/go red maybe you could put a alam sound going off!?! i dunno but i really enjoyed the map and playing on it can't wait to c it on the server all the best sprout!!

Commented (at some considerable length) in your thread.

4/5, great layout.

Yes this a very good map. Extra detailed, everything worked. I do agree that you should use textlights though. I don't think that the lights turning off is a good effect myself, nightvision was worthless because u had enefough lights around the place that it was too bright. My only real problem with the map is the doors, they all made really annoying sounds and were way way way too tall.I mean it must have been 5 feet above me. Shrink them down a bit, its too unnatural. Otherwise as I said, GREAT job. Even though it has some problems, I will give it a 5/5 because its better than what I have seen for a while.

*****Updated Map Addendum*****
Okay, thanks to Seventh-Monkey and others, I've adjusted the door height to a more reasonable 84 in. I originally had them that high to make sure that any uneven terrain wouldn't make people travel through the door. I also removed most of the door sounds, except for the ones I thought were still appropriate. I think I fixed most of the lighting problems, adding func_walls and such. Right now, there are three things I've heard, so far, that this map needs:
Texture lights (Anyone know how to set a brush entity's style to Group?)
Rework the front windows (Just 2 vertical ones, or what?)
More security to get to the vault (any ideas?)

lasers
tex lights: there is a tutorial on this in the.. tutorials section
group? right click?

Fewer windows could reduce your r_speeds too. You should probably move the filing cabinet (by the first vault door, in the lobby on the left) and american flag a few units away from the walls as they can mysteriously appear and disappear from a distance, as well as getting nasty venetian-blind effects on them.

Excellent quality for a first map.

Either move those objects that Seventh mentioned away from the walls, or incorporate them into the walls if you need them to be flush, which would be a good idea to minimize snagging and things of that sort.

OK, I got some idea's to beef up vault security. First of all, look at some example map that talked about "picking a lock" for a door. This would be a really cool effect if you could have to do that to open the door.
Second, add lasers in the middle of the door so that only when you open the door u see them. Add another picklock thing accept this time when you do it, it turns off the lasers. Make sure you label this security features or something so that people know which is which and put it on another wall that you might not notice when u just turn the corner.
Third and last, I forget if the door of the vault shut by itself but if it doesnt you should make it like 3 seconds so that they need to get in and out fast.

I would say that you should do the first and second ones but maybe the third is going from challanging to stupid and annoying.

Amazing detail work! I would go as far to say more high quality, appropriate detail work then in 95% of the maps I've seen. Every detail from the teller tubes and windows to the cordons for customers...superb!

There are some errors and face splitting, but it all looks so good, I don't think people will mind too much.

Layout doesn't seem too big or small, and seems like it would be good.

Besides optimizing and cleaning up small things, I can't really think of anythng to add.

Superb stuff!
