It's obviously unlit. The greatest achievement is that I finally found some textures I feel comfortable with. And I wasted my life constructing a circular staircase. It could take months until I release it.

Looking good brassbite! Lots of fun having ogres bounce grenades down a staircase like that! ;)

Looks like you'd constantly bump your head when running down the stairs. Be sure to leave enough vertical space for players and monsters to move.

Apparently It's Enough Space For Anything But A Shambler

If a Shambler doesn't fit then neither will an Ogre or a Fiend, they share the same bounding box size.

Think Inside The Box

There are two bounding box sizes in Quake: 32*32*64 and 64*64*96 - there needs to be enough room for the whole box to fit plus a couple of units leeway. So in order for a monster to be able to walk the stairs, there must be enough room above and in front of it. To examplify, make a brush of the same size and try to move it down the stairs without it touching or intersecting anything.
Try r_showbboxes 1 to get an idea how it looks in game.

Hi, this is my first map, looking for at least 1 person to look for bugs before an "official" release. The map is Id1 with a skybox, the readme has instructions, a story and more.

Congrats on almost getting ready for a release!
Nighttime terracotta with some lava is a nice mix!

Very Nice Old-school Vibe

Thank you all for the comments and especially the demo Daz. I'll be making whatever changes I can according to feedback before I post the map up officially.
Thanks again!

Before releasing, if you're using ericw's light compiler, won't you try to apply some Phong shading in these columns? Check this out:

Anyways, I love when people dare on brushwork. Looking forward to play!

I made some statues as details/fillers. The
sphinx-like ones are cute; as for the
other ones, however, they kind of look like penguins or pidgeons wearing ties?! Maybe if they carried crates on their heads....

Penguins

...it turns out that they worshipped penguins. Who would've thought it?

I Thought They Were Owls
guess I was wrong... I love bsp prefabs like that

I made a Quake Team Fortress map using Trenchbroom. I thought I might add a SS.
