So I finally got Hammer to work, freaked out, and made my first map. Woo.
Sorry for the lack of media, should show up on garrysmod.org place though.
Basically, it's 2 rooms, one with 2 levels in which you can commit suicide from, connected by a door. (Note: The camera in front of the doorway is blocking the doorway at the spawnpoint, but you can just hit it with your crowbar to gain entry.)

Have fun in my first map ever created. (Note: IT'S MY FIRST MAP! So no crazy "ur a nubfaic" criticism.)
No pictures, probably crappy, never release your first map.

QFT 97% of the time
Suggestion: post pictures next time. If they are pretty, it will encourage people to download your map.
Why did you include the .vmf, .lin, and the .vmx file?
Also, downloading to see how it is.
I just took a look in hammer and going to test it. The map so far is pretty good for a first.
Just two rooms, one big one small, only like 3 textures, a camera NPC that blocks the doorway, a random Kleiner in the corner, next to a suit and health charger. Also, a .357, that due to some kinda bug, fires at full auto. ALso, the stairs are too big, you have to jump on each one.
If it is your first ever map, we don't want to see it. That goes for anything with "test" in the title too.
snip.
Actually, it's better than most first time maps.
add some light props next time
'Grats on making a first map thats not fullbright. Welcome to the community!
You still should not have released your first map, though.
Try taking a look on interlopers and do a few of their tutorials on various things. Best tip for releasing on Facepunch is that people will generally not give you very good feedback about a map if it doesn't serve a purpose, be it to build or to look prettyful.
Never ever ever ever ever release your first map.
I think these measurement 128 units textured walls suddently got divided by 0 and increased their scale.

How many times does facepunch tell people to not release their first map?
[QUOTE=Karmah;17347524]How many times does facepunch tell people to not release their first map?[/QUOTE]
Not enough.
[QUOTE=Karmah;17347524]How many times does facepunch tell people to not release their first map?[/QUOTE]
It should be in the rules as a [very light] ban-able offense.
On topic: That map kinda of reminds me of that one level in Goldeneye 64. "Library" I think it was.
Looks better than most first maps though.

Are those the screens from the map?
[QUOTE=faze;17348660]Are those the screens from the map?[/QUOTE]
yes
I said sorry for the l33t speak. I was on my PSP and I had to type fast and stuff.
Anyways, as I was trying to say, some people like to see the progress of others, so I put it up. I did not know I can get banned for showing progress. Only a couple of posts here were actually helpful; others just repeated the rule of "no first releases" as well as being asstards and criticizing the fact that I used l33t sp33k on my last post. I just hate the PSP's keyboard.
Other than that, to repeat my last post like a "human" rather than txt speak, I had worked on this and revised it probably seven times before releasing it, using the techniques I had just then learned. Aside from this, I most definitely will build on this for another release, "gm_indoor_construct" as well as making a map I had a really awesome idea for for a long time, "hb_tunnel_race" so go ahead and close this topic or whatever. Just wanted people to see what I had made for the first time.
To answer certain questions:
- The .357 is actually supposed to be Alyxgun but I found it to be glitchy
- The pictures were supposed to load on Garrysmod.org but they never did
See you soon.

I hope you didn't map this with your PSP as well.
Just kidding, this is pretty good for your fist map, still it's not worth posting.
You need to add more props and textures to make it look interesting.

LOL, it would be useful to map on the PSP, someone should make software for it like that. I'd hack my PSP just for that.
I recommend making the map useful. Not saying it is bad but maybe have like things that players can do in your map. You need to think when mapping and say why would people play my map. Also think as to what makes my map special. If you do this and decided that it isn't nothing or that it isn't because its your map then you are on the right approach.

Oh, yeah, I understand what you mean. In fact, right now I'm not working on Garry's Mod stuff. I'm working on a mod for HL2 called USCR - Utter Splinter Cell Ripoff - which is all stealth stuff. Which Interlopers.net is not helping with.
