Hey this map I thought would be fun to make.

Here are some features of the map (no pictures this time:( ...)


Super Adrenaline Packs. Secret Hideouts. Mini Super Health Packs. Fully equiped weapon locker. Awsome camping spots(for noobs who dont want to die). And Much More.

It's a 3-day weekend in the USA. And most people also take some of the lead-in Friday as well.

Give it a couple of days.

Snaggle.

I'll take a look at it some point.

Don't mind him, hes not real.

I'd comment but people have always complained about my constructive criticism, isn't very constructive and focuses on the criticism.

So I tried to take a look at the map but kept getting runtime errors because you're using some file that I don't have.

I opened it up in the editor and it tells me that I need 2k6_NaabNewPack1. From the looks of it, you're using some textures for the columns on the altar.

Other than that ... Well, it's a one-room map, and also mini-me style. You did put some thought into the aesthetics here, and it's at least got a general theme, but for me, one room and a few minor areas just isn't going to provide interesting gameplay.


Here are my recommendations...

-Scale the map down 25-50%, so it's less of a mini-me map. It'll still be fairly big, probably, but the scale will be more sensible. (I would just rebuild the map from scratch, it's simple enough.)
-You need some kind of pulpit or other centerpiece on the altar.
-Lengthen out the seating area, and if you want, make it wider. I say, at the minimum, make it twice as long with twice as many pews. Adding space for a third row would be good, IMO, too. Vary the texture between the aisles and the seating portions.
-Add torches or lanterns as light sources, the flat lighting right now detracts from the appearance a lot. Even a basic level can look good with some thought put into the lighting.
-Change the textures on the walls... That particular texture just looks too 2D to me.
-You need to do something for your roof. Fortunately, this isn't too difficult. Just create some angled brushes to create a steeple (meaning, a shape like so ... /\ ...). Then put some support beams up there. People should be able to run around on the support beams and so on.
-I recommend you expand the space of the level by adding a room where the doors are currently that empty into nothingness. It doesn't need to be too fancy, just put a holy water dispenser or something in there. I also suggest creating a room or two off from the side of the altar, but what you'd want to do with those is up to you.
-Lastly, I realize this is a beginner level, but you can spruce it up pretty well without too much more effort. Adding some static meshes will help out in a lot of places. Your benches, for example, need cushions. I'm sure there's some static meshes somewhere that would fit the bill. I also recommend adding some plants, and I know for sure there are plenty available for use in stock 2K4 material. If you want a modern look, go for some potted plants. If you want this to look kind of medieval, add some vines growing down some of the walls.

May i recommend you look at the following maps for Ideas/content.
