Mapping Trouble Again

[Santiago]

First off is there a specific place were we as a clan can discuss mapping in particular? Secondly for any with knowledge on mapping I posted earlier about having trouble with getting a map size down, and the help I had from Dragonhill was great. However I am at the current time at 17.1 megs for my bsp size and Steam does not allow a map over 16 megs to down load through steam. I have done all that I can to reduce the file size and need some impute.
Here is the link to my map http://hosted.filefront.com/jpeckham82/ .
The file is cp_fortressv1 . Also for those that may not be into the mapping any impute on layout and such is wanted as well.
Many thanks Santiago

yep there is a place to discuss mapping. Click on forums, go into off-topic and entertainment, then at the top you'll see a sub-forum titled "Mappers only" and there you have it.

I love fortress. You know me santiago, I'm a fan.

And, is it almost done?!

Im guessing this is to do with optimization?

There are some links in this post that have tips on optimization etc about halfway down

Thanks for the advice and Yes IRS it is getting close, but as always any impute that anyone would like to give is welcome
