Wow, you are amazing for finding out this issue I have been thinking so hard about. I never knew there were such differences in the pak-files.
I will try to make a version without the Iron Maidens (since apparently their RLs need that sound), but I don't know if something will go wrong if the player returns to that map later with a rocket launcher (as one of the secrets is dependent on a rocket jump).
Thank you all for your feedback, and above all, help and insight so far!
On the second map once I enter the control room, I get this error before the map crashes on me:

This is my first singleplayer map unit for Quake 2.
It is not done yet, I just need to finish the last map, but it is nearly there. However, this is taking time and I have so little time for this, so please be patient if you can.
Feel free to start streaming yourself, if you can. I am sure some people might enjoy a non-singleplayer Q2 stream, like for FFA, CTF or TDM. Q2 should get more stream love online.
Well, there's that. I'm thinking of trying to stream my Nightmare run attempts. I'm going for a WR in Nightmare, but I might also see myself stream random singleplayer maps that I have gathered over the years. Some I haven't played in over 10 years.
My stream setup is a bit shit, though. No camera but I have a mic. I'll be using the OBS and I have also never streamed before.
Sad how this video has less than 1000 views for all that work he put in. 5 seconds of youtube tits yields more views than a billion hours of coding does.
Found a few "shortcuts": - In the area with the light guards, you can simply water-hop up to the platform with the exit - In the area with the moving platform with the tank in the middle, you can squeeze into the pillars and take out the switches that way - You can avoid the blaster barrage at the end without lowering the Carmack barrier by hugging the wall
The first two are intentional but the last one I thought I had fixed.
Did you find the first "first" shortcut with the first tank encounter? You don't have to shoot him.
Also I did modify some of the barrels to be more explosive than usual.
edit: The pillars were originally intended to squash you if you went in but I left that out for the end.
Single player maps? Damn, it's probably rare enough to find anyone putting forth the enormous effort to make deathmatch maps for Q2 anymore. I've, uh... NEVER seen anyone make individual single player maps. Cool shit, man. Haven't played it yet, but when I get a little time either later this weekend or next week I'll DEFINITELY download it and play it and tell you what I think.
The idea of an individual singleplayer map comes from spogsp1.bsp in 1998, which partly inspired me to do this.
