You can see this isn't touching the wall.

That pipe goes nowhere and the texture on the black thing on the of the green box is dodgy.

Nice area, but you shouldn't be able to see the skybox outside the gate like that.

Guess.
Cool wee map. Some inspired creativity, but the connectivity was lacking.

This texture is set to world, which makes it obvious that you vertex manipulated it to an angle because the texture is pointing in that direction. I would change the setting to face then rotate/resize it to line it up with the rest. This way the texture will point upwards instead of 45 degrees to the right.
There's a trim on the other side and the wall is symmetrical, so why not have the trim here too?
Now, you've got some serious connectivity issues that would hamper this map severely in dm. I always find it better to get the connectivity down first before working on the big details like lighting and such, because the number of passageways in and out can affect how much r_speeds you have to work with. Because I always want to go overboard with connectivity, I've whipped up some suggestions to improve the flow of this map.
Knock out this wall and make it a doorway to another hall section
Rip the ceiling off this hallway, make a nice sized ledge off of the left wall, and make a walkway over the existing hall. Connect the left end of this hallway to the doorway from before. The other two exits will be the next two pics
punch a hole in this wall for a doorway, but leave the rest. build a staircase behind the wall, and then have the walkway from before connect to this stairway via a small hallway or something
create a second level above this area that circles around the sky area. connect this area to the other ledge in the second picture, but be sure to have a visblocker between the rooms to keep r_speeds down
fill the pipe area with water. since it's a big dead end with one exit i would suggest throwing in a big gun to make it worth going to. make a doorway off the walkway and build a staircase up to the red door. raise the red door and connect the hallway to the walkway. extend a section of that hall to make a stairway that connects to the new second level area
ta da! its all connected, perhaps too much so, but that's just me jumping off the deep end. hopefully this will help you to come up with better ideas than my quick and crappy one!
this map has promise, as it looks rather nice and could have good gameplay, so keep it up

What's this!? Me? Updating!? Egads! Anyway, yeah, updated map + screenshots, took into account most of the critiques, the only one I have yet to implement is the broken hand-rail as I have no experience whatsoever in such matters. And just in case ReNo thinks I'm avoiding his comment about adding something above the ceiling line in that outdoorsy room, that's just because I can't think of anything. ![]()
Connectivity actually exists now thanks to suggestions from Yak_Fighter, I owe him at least a few cookies.
