Plenty of scope for different styles of gameplay and easy to get around with the translocator. All in all, another welcome addition to the 'play list' of maps

A few comments from a quick play and wander round the map and then having a look in the Editor (having noticed a distorted sound) :

On the sounds, the following are stereo sounds and are, unfortunately, distorted in-game (at least with Galaxy) :
clock-ticking.wav
KidsLaughing2.wav
KidsLaughing3.wav
PencilSharpener.wav
[It's OK for music to be stereo but not Sounds - my experience suggests that stereo sounds may also affect certain in-game sounds like those from weapons or voices].

In the LevelInfo, the DefaultGameType is 'Class'Botpack.TeamGamePlus' - if played from the Editor, the map starts as a Team Game. It's probably best if the DefaultGameType is left blank - since the map prefix is DM, the map will play as a DeathMatch map.

A personal thing perhaps but there is a PlayerStart in a drawer and I'm not sure this is a 'good idea' - the player spawning there will not be able to see anything outside the drawer and, without jumpboots, will have to translocate into the 'unknown' - possibly not the best way to start off?

Hope this does not come over as too negative as the map is certainly enjoyable and fun to play

The crash happened when I was near SpecialEvent4 which plays the sound 'DSSchoolSD.OneShot.KidsLaughing2'. Looks like Galaxy was unable to handle that sound?

Killer sound track.

Everything checks out 5 by 5 on my 432.

No problems with the audio at the pencil sharpener, overhead projector, sink, alarm, clock, etc.

Ronald Reagan is the last president, so I assume this classroom is set somewhere back in the late 80's?

I love the pencils in the ceiling.

What, no weird animal in the terrarium?

I noticed you use a lot of semi-solid brushes. Does that make a difference?

Please tell me there is a VHS copy of "Back to School" in there somewhere.

And a water zone, where, to enter, you have to execute a perfect "Triple Lindy" grin, just kidding.

Good job. I wouldn't change a thing.

A+

Not that modern, the US presidents lined up along the ceiling only go up to Ronald Reagan.
