In the second map during the part where you have to ride the cart with the air supply, the door into the gas room only opens once. So a player on foot can go in, get gassed and die, and the door is permanently closed, keeping anyone on the cart from getting through.
Thanks, I have gone and fixed it. The door now should trigger properly, and as a failsafe it explodes when passing through with the train so there is no way it can get stuck on closed again :)
Well… sorry for couldnt join test… :(

Im tested myself for take a look maps.
But.. some parts have something problems
1. Seamless teleport gibed me (HEV suit room)
2. Some dialog nothing show up game_text (im not sure about that game_txt)
3. In train part, barney nothing attack HECU.
4. In Rotate elevator part, elevator made player just crush. (This must be goldsrc problem or.. map itself problem)
Also as r0ubrt said off limits problem too
About off limits case, other author's map also happen that.
Other are fine.
I really intetesting gaussgun with 300 damage.
And colorful HEV suit too :)
thanks for both feedbacks.
I uploaded a hotfix for most of the bugs. The bullsquid area should be fixed, but clips are sometimes buggy and if forced you maybe could go out of bounds.
1- this is intentional. trigger_respawn doesn't actually respawn players it seems, but rather teleports them. So if you are still alive you dont get the effects of the changed cvar to get the suit activated. That is unless you die first and get respawned properly.
2- intentional, because you dont have the suit so there is no hud display whatsoever
3- unfixable :( barneys in the train are moved via a setorigin otherwise they would get the train stuck. This also makes their AI bug out most of the time it seems as they want to run but can't, hence why they stop shooting. At the same time, they seem to be a bit floating, because the train collision box isn't perfect (you can see this yourself by going into the train with third person camera, your feet will be in the air too hehe)
4- rotating elevator? i don't remember one. But if an elevator has crush damage that may be intentional, we dont want trolls or npcs softlocking the maps :P it may lead to collateral damage and sometimes kill a player or npc though, but we have to live with that. Thats GoldSRC for you.
Map is fun although a bit unintuitive at times. Some of the enemies spawn facing walls, therefore they won't engage you at first glance, making them easy to kill.
You can go off limits in the area where the bullsquids are, and also your gravity bugs out when doing so:

I wouldn't recommend this map for more than 3 maybe 4 people since it can get very claustrophobic, and there's not that many enemies (except for the ending, holy fuck).
