Your pic is very very small.

Sounds very basic, but at least you have some idea of what you want to happen. And for your first map basic + working = good.

That bit where you have lots of little nitches on your wall made of tiny boxes - don't do that, it lags to hell.

well, i might judge unfairly...but to check out my first (serious) map, look at forgotten outpost 8)


i say first (serious) map, because i've made quite a few of those silly FY maps for CS:S, one was just a box...one had a wall in it...and the last one i made was actualyl fairly decent, had some nifty lighting that made it hard to fight the bots...they can see, you usually cant...

the main thing with mapping is how much effort you put into it, if you just throw something together in an afternoon and expect it to be good, it probably wont be. but if you plan out your map with a sketch, then draw out primitives, go into hammer and make that...then add detail, it'll probably turn out pretty good.

With some work it all may become playable on a computer of crap *aka below 2.0 GHz*

Here is what I think: don't give up mapping, despite how many crap comments you get. Almost every first map is pretty bad (or just downright crap). But that shouldn't discourage you.

I learned mapping through trial and error and I can produce pretty decent stuff. Just keep mapping and you can do the same in no time!

I wasn't dissing your map: I was dissing the massive CPU whoring caused by A) Steam B) Half-Life & C) Topped off with MSC
Your map would run much better if made & run on something like... normal Half-Life (in the area of smoothness for crap computers).
