My First Map - Armored Cow - 09-20-2010
This is the map I've been working on since the editor was released. Because of this, the first two rooms are in similar format to the tutorial.
Anyway, I was planning on carrying this out and making a few more maps to make this a complete story but have decided against it because I've been having a few odd issues and the layout of my map is not ideal. Plus the story was bad for how it started out
So I'm just going to start fresh with a new map/story next.So, it's called Johnathan's Castle because it was going to have a story about your uncle's castle and stuff (the note on the table would explain this if it would actually work). The note has no text and the key doesn't have a name but just disregard that.
Without further ado:

EDIT: The map is pretty short, and when you get to the level door, do not open it; it leads nowhere.
Any criticism is welcome.

I will take a look at it and edit this post when I am done playing through your map.
[edit]
Aw... quite a short one.
You know what actually scared me in your map? That nothing was happening in the first room. I had to search like 2 minutes until I found the key, during that time I thought the door would just jump open and a monster appears.
I didn't find any clipping errors. There are 2 other things I found though:
- You should move the doorframes a bit more into the room since you can still see parts of the wall through the frame.
- Don't use the ceiling texture you used above the stairs, it looks terrible.
I will take a look why your entries don't work, will do another edit after that.
[edit #2]
Uff... it actually took me 15 minutes to figure what was wrong with your extra_english.lang file.
You wrote
Code:
<EntryName="Upstairs">Upstairs</Entry>Code:
<Entry Name="Upstairs">Upstairs</Entry>That little mistake made your whole file broken. :/
Updated my post.

Oh thanks for letting me know why everything wasn't working! I looked over that file for a long time and never noticed that, lol.
Thanks for the criticism, I'll look at that ceiling texture and make sure to fix doorframes as well (in the future; that map isn't being updated, as I said).
