When I first opened this map in Hammer++, I got a message telling me that "6 solid(s) were not loaded correctly due to errors" and that "Hammer++ will attempt to recover these solids."
I pressed 'OK' and h++ successfully recovered the solids.

The only change I made was fixing some of the props to get rid of unimportant console errors.

The compile log is clean.

There is an entity which fires a lot of server commands, so the map needs to be tested on the server:



Thanks to Salo for playtesting.

next time when you see messages about the bad solids even you fix it automatically on map load try to find this solid by number and check it, or may cause the bsp bug with gaps in geometry

not a very elegant solution of change the gravity with the point_servercommand, much better change the gravity via brush entity

H++ automatically highlighted the solids in red. It was one of the platforms near the bottom and 5 of the lamp props at the top. I found no gaps.

There is nothing elegant about this map :wave

Did I upload this yet? if not very naughty

The reflections in this version look different from the original - arguably because the map creator did a poor job with cubemaps.

Added:
spawn points (x2) - total is now 10

Removed:
microbrushes (x5) - total is now 0
suit charger (x1) - total is now 1
