You might want to use this in future for console stuff, just a thought. I have never released a map, so can't really criticise about that.

EDIT: sorry, forgot to say what to use! point_clientcommand

Omg,

To everyone who intends to play the map, you HAVE TO put that into console, otherwise it WILL crash you hl2.exe

To Crabby, I can't say it, I am sorry. This map is bad. You had a good idea, but it is poorly executed. It was buggy, with no indicators, takes more skill rather than being a puzzle, badly built.

My recommendation for you is to play portal with developer commentary and pay attention to what they say! Its very useful! Also, please learn more about mapping in general, your map was buggy and badly built, I know so because simply if you noclip out, it doesnt look nice and black, it looks bad.

Without any indicators, the players has a really bad time playing. So, please some visual aids! Those lasers and non-solid floor was very, very frustrating!

I dunno, if we are allowed to post feedback yet, but I just could not hold it. Its for the better, you will learn more and more and get better with time. Just read about mapping and hammer!

Yeah pretty bad... Sorry. Getting across the first floor seems to be hit or miss and there is no way to solve it without trial and error - bad idea. I lost interest and quit. Having to enter the console command r_hunkalloclightmaps 0 at the start is really bad...
I can rate this one right away - 1.

It was an...interesting idea.

However, it had poor execution. That kind of puzzle would be best with more portal-styled obstacles. That seems like the kind of thing you would find in half life and such.

Another thing, you are definitely doing something wrong if you need to enter that command at the beginning. From the looks of it, that command would generally be used for larger maps, and this is definitely not a very large map.

Hear the turret, for it is knell. It summons thee to heaven, or to hell.

I haven't had a chance to check the map out on a technical level, but I'm guessing you built your map inside of a giant hollow box?

I actually don't think he did, the map appears to have a leak. (Unless that glitchy copying effect occurs in that instance as well)

I have to say too it's a bad map. I couldn't manage to pass that non-sense non-solid floor and gave up. I don't mean to insult. You are learning. I don't even know how to make a map at all. So go ahead man. You can do better.
