hello this is my first post on this forum. this is also my first map. fitting, eh? here is the progress i have made after 2 days. it's called skyscraper, and it's set in a blu base/office type environment. it has several weapons and health packs scattered across the map, a 3d skybox, 2 floor and a roof, and some other stuff i can't be bothered to add. this is my first draft of the map, it may have some glitches or design flaws but since i do not host servers i cannot do a playtest session (which is why im posting it here in hopes a server will run it.)
here is the bsp (outdated, scroll down for the newest one!)

and here is an imgur gallery of various parts of the map

Keep in mind I am planning to work on this map more. i just want to get a playtest going before i fully drop it. a map can look great but play like total garbage and i'm trying to avoid mine ending up like that.
(note: it's actually listed as just 'skyscraper', not dm_skyscraper. i'll fix that in a later version. it should still work fine though.)
Update!: Much work has been done since the last post earlier today (it is now 3 am in the morning). Here's a list of what I've pulled off:
* Finally added the proper code lingo to the map's name (it's now dm_skyscraper_v1 and not just 'skyscraper')
* Changed parts of lighting
* Swapped out skybox texture for a more exciting one
* General work with props, etc
* Since in the last game i got complaints that the rocket launcher was too easily accessible and too good, I've swapped the spots of the tommy gun and the rocket launcher
* I've also flat out replaced the rocket launcher with the RPG so if that doesn't help I don't know what will
* Added a "hidden" butterfly knife you can pick up
* Probably more that i'm forgetting about
Here is the *new* download!
