Hey there, ZLOI_DED! (Quite the name) Welcome to TF2Maps.

Alright, so, this is your first map, I assume. Or, at least, one of the first. I'm having an incredibly hard time deciphering the map from your screenshots. Everyone here has had first maps that we never talk about again except when we all talk about them again. See:

[dolt] ammon/re.wind: that looks very "my first tf2 map"
Leminnes.ps: pretty much is
Leminnes.ps: well
Leminnes.ps: it is
Leminnes.ps: notice that's a8
Leminnes.ps: I got up to a12 before I gave up on it

[dolt] ammon/re.wind: wow
[dolt] ammon/re.wind: someone stole my first map
[dolt] ammon/re.wind: or not
[dolt] ammon/re.wind: no wait
[dolt] ammon/re.wind: here it is.
[dolt] ammon/re.wind: http://tf2.gamebanana.com/maps/106819
[dolt] ammon/re.wind: thats rather embarassing looking back at it
Leminnes.ps: oh
Leminnes.ps: oh my
LeSwordfish: i've seen worse
Leminnes.ps: reminds me a lot of my first map too haha

Mapping early on is really, really tough because there are a LOT of things to learn and when you first start mapping you just want to make something so people can play it and have fun! All I can say is, keep at it. You may be like me and work on this for months, get to a12 and decide to move on, but just make sure you learn something along the way so your next map will be all the better.

Here's some very helpful tutorials that I use quite often that I'm sure can help you:

Grazr's Guide on Scale
Do Something Special! (This one has broken images, but I remember it being very useful. I hope that we can get the images back into it.)
Grazr's Guide on Skyboxes and Roofs
All of YM's articles about detailing
What your map is missing

There's a ton more on here and elsewhere. Just take a look around. :D

Good luck!

Thank you, Leminnes for such full reply and useful links. :)
I can't find any topic for creating ambient music.. Do u have some links for me? :)

"Do Something Special!" there's no pictures =/

Sergis, thanks. My friend yesterday tested my map and said the same)))
So thanks to your answers, I have some problems that must be solved. :D

WTH with Soundscape Editor 1.8?

Thx, but i have a problem... If u're using that tool u maybe got this error...
I select "PlayLooping" and Browse for a file, which in directory
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Team Fortress 2\tf\sound. And i have an error when i try to play it from that programm: "That file wasn't found on any GCF or on disk for the selected game, Team Fortress 2". WTH is going on? :confused:

Hmm, that may be an issue with the new Steampipe thing. I'm not really sure, honestly. :/

Edit: I am going to have to go ahead and say that background music in a map is not the best of ideas, though. I'd discourage it unless you have a really good reason for it.
