Looks quite nice BATEMAN, the only thing I can really criticize is how sharp the transition between sand and the hole in the floor in the first screenshot. The abrupt change from light to dark doesn't look very good. |

A quick fix would be to add a decal on the ground right where the two textures meet. Something similar to the sand texture, but with an alpha layer so you could see the metal underneath. If there isn't a default blend for that sand then you could always rip the sand texture from the game files, add an alpha layer, and rename it. Other than that, though, the map looks great. |

You could also make the edges raised from the ground. There's a few ways to prevent movement hiccups if you choose to do this:
1) Any surface transition that is .125 (if memory serves) in height or shorter acts as a natural step for the player.
2) Angle the edges of the dark area to give a ramped transition. This will give the area a better "man-made" feel to it rather than just a perfectly smooth surface straight to the edge.
3) Raise the edge as high as you want and put solid face (or wedge) detail brushes around the perimeter and apply one of the transparent textures. This will also give a smooth walking transition from the light to dark area.
--edit--
Careful with applying textures to a trapezoidal face, it can cause the textures to look all warped and can actually jiggle around while in-game. I'm mentioning it because I noticed in your third image, the column against the wall in the center has that exact thing going on.
If the texture is in fact jiggling, the best way to fix it is to make the face into a parallelogram. As long as the sides opposite to each other are parallel and of the same length, this issue won't happen. |

RF doesn't do this at any height. |

I love the fact that the RF community can produce maps that look better and or play better than the original maps that came with the game. |

I could have sworn it did. 
Guess I've been out of the game for too long. haha
--edit--
I tested this out to quench my own curiosity and this does work, up to a height of .250 in fact. There's a slight slow-down at .250 and could potentially cause problems if strafing about but .125 and below are pretty seamless. |

No, it really doesn't - at least not the way that is seen in any other game. In RF, your feet are just a collision sphere. |

What is the radius of the collision sphere for the feet? ...
Its probably large enough that character "bob" is minimal when the steps are at .125 ... but there is character "bob" ... its just not noticeable |
