I have something to say about your placement of equipment and stuff: That room is a campers heaven: think about it! You've got of health pickups and rechargers and tons of psygunnable stuff (to much will also lag up the server) to fend other people off with.

Think on your feet! Build something YOU want to play. The idea behind all modding stuff (ie Hammer) is to let you add your own personal touch! My insperation comes the Game Design Theory for HL Deathmatch tuts. They may be in the HL1 section (under newbies) but minus all the r_speeds stuff they still apply the HL2DM.

PS: The randomly boldened / Capitalised text just makes you look like a spazzing twit, even if you are desperate.

Is your name john or peter i have a feeling about them!

Anyway dark its good to see that you dont get stressed when someone like me tells you that your being cocky so it shows your determined

If you need help on anything i can teach you as i have tought a few students of mine!

Its a shame you cant come to my house as it would be easier anyway you name it and ill put it in a example map that you can look at and observe but the best way to leanr is by testing on your own e.g.

make a hollow cube with a light and start off with making water in it, if it works then the next thing to learn making doors for example and read a tut on a site like twhl or snarkpit and try it out if it fails tick boxes and crap untill it works but make sure you make these examples seperately as compile times will get longer and more stressful

Theres nothing worse than waiting ages to compile a big detailed map to find theres new errors!

my msn if you have it is williamnicholls@hotmail.com

I hope your msn name isnt dark as i already have a guy called that :O

Also i find that if i make a map like yours for example and i work on it for a while but i find that its not going so well i leave it and work on other stuff and come back to it later on! it stops you from being fed up of the same thing over and over

All i can say is that if your not doing so well or not enjoying it then try something else like outdoors etc

Good luck

Aye he's got a point. Do what you know can do (but still like!) and build on it.

PS My name is... not Peter or John!

EDIT: And I'm not Scottish either

You could probably get more done if you worked on the map, trying to figure stuff out, think of ideas etc whilst you wait for a reply

I'll second that! Build up the basics, then add detail. As Reno said (somewhere) its easier to tear apart and fix and simple map thats bad rather than a detailed map thats crap.

And I'll bet I've messed that saying up too

Lighting and atmosphere is good, but all I see is a room full of props. Get some interesting architecture in there. Of course, this is just a very early stadium of your map. Good luck with it. [addsig]

Dark Killer, your avatar text is too long a single word and extends into your signature area, which is kinda screwy. Might wanna shorten it.

I have no idea but it is useful because you can keep the people here up-to-date on your map. Also 'Cass' what sh**? [addsig]
