My second map is complete (ish hopefully )

apart from two textures i made myself i only took texture from base quake so if they don't work.

here is download link, http://www.mediafire.com/?p3w0lmp6ma87p3a

It should be a lot better than my last attempt.

also is their a map testing sever up ATM (ali's maybe?) could i test this on it plzzzzz

The design of this map is basicly what you get if you cross a wooden gazebo with a castle.

enjoy,

Not bad at all. You clearly have improved a lot, you have a much better sense of how a map should "play" like. Keep at it, you're gonna make good maps in no time.

What i think you should improve on: filling the empty spaces a bit more. This map could easily support two or even three different, interconnected levels in the "main hall", the one with mega and quad. The other areas feel a bit too secluded, you should work on connecting different parts of the map a bit better, perhaps with another room at the very center of the map (between the big hall and the teleporter room).

There are a few bugs as well, check out the demo (not sure if you're supposed to be able to fall into those two pits at the beginning).

Anyway, this is definite progress. With some more work, this map could even be playable. Good job!

LOL! you found that gap fast lol and yes you are suppose to die when you fell down the first two holes. i will make sure my next maps are not so easy to get out of. im glad you enjoyed.

As for lack of object and bare spaces i wanted the player to be able to move around more thing not obstructing him/her i should add more thing for the player to be able to hang off legdes and bit in between in some parts tho. however i do agree that the map need more interconnecting corridors and such at the moment its just like a donut lol (it needs jam :DDD). ty mad for demo

Yep, exactly. I can also see you're giving a lot of attention to aesthetics, i'd suggest you skip ornaments for now and just focus on pure architecture. Remember, it doesn't matter if a map looks good or bad, what matters is the gameplay. Aesthetics should always be the last step in the map-making process.

Like i said, keep at it. You're obviously a fast learner, i'll be looking out for your next attempt.
