Map making

[[BTF]EyEsTrAiN]

I just recently decided to try my hand at map making, and would like anyone to give me some input on anything I should know, i.e. tips, tricks, suggestions, and stuff in general. I am currently using Qoole because it is the first editor that I've gotten the hang of. I hope to have a betamap worked out by next week, so if anyone wants to help me out and betatest it for me give me a poke. Any critizism will be greatly appreciated. Thanx

In my journey's with making this map, I discovered something kinda cool, I made an underwater area with platforms on the sides of the walls. When I put the water inside there, I intentionally left a tiny bit of space between the floor and where the water was. The effect I got was when you land on the bottom of the underwater area, you can walk at full speed and breathe. So doing the same with the platforms, it makes it kind of matrix like: you walk normal speed on the platforms underwater, but go slowly when you get off of them. I just thought I would share that. Cheers,
