Righto. It is not so much a white line as the highlighted top of a beveled area. I purposedly didn't repeat that for the section the light is in, as the light itself would overlap and make the bevel weirdish. Also, any consistency issues that might have worried me are made void by the fact that the light sections are indented and aren't immediately connected to the non-light surfaces. :]

Understood and noted, but not something I'm willing to spend time and effort on while there's 8/10ths of a map to make.

I sense the slight smell of critique in that post, so I'll respond accordingly .
For a quick answer: I want it to be an FFA map.
For a long one, see the "spoiler".

I have made some progress:

Some things (most notably the lighting) are still very much WIP here. I'm playing around with textures and light fixtures. Not in the screenshots: I'm working on the blue-carpeted room and I've got the lifts working and looking nice. Too bad you can't make a brush both a func_button and (part of) a func_plat. If that were possible (please correct me if I'm wrong here), I could have made it work just like in DooM...

Looking good! It's nice to see a Doom remake that actually looks like Doom for a change.

  Also, it makes me wonder whatever happened to Devlar's Canyon (PSX Fnal Doom) remake from a few years back. Never actually saw the light of day as I recall ...

I am using some textures by others!
For one thing, the blue carpet in (what I appropriately call) the blue room (not depicted yet) is a texture by Lunaran (the one you can also find in mksteel), and so is the blue techno-stuff in the panels next to the door. Then one or two textures are default Q3 textures. One texture is from the Jdoom pack (which by the way ripped and destroyed tons of my textures, being so nice as to claim  I've actually made the mess that they distributed). That one texture is the circuit boardish stuff that is on the walls in the room that sits before the RL spawn niche.

But that's it. All other textures are by my own hand. I expect that I'll be making a lot more, but I will be using some premade stuff for rocks and light fixtures. No need to reinvent the wheel (when it's not a shabby wheel, that is).

For one thing, many people have remade d2map01, and for pretty much every other game that was released after, or previously before, DooM was. True as that may be, it is equally true that 9 out of 10 of those remakes suck worse than my transsexual prostitute aunt. Perhaps some are fun to play, but look horrible, or simply nothing like the original, but none are anywhere near good enough. Some aren't even remakes, but far-fetched remixes (like, f.i. Amphetamine's version). Most are downright horrid.
Mine, if anything, will be a nostalgia version, and if I get things right, one that won't err on the side of ugliness.

The thread is here but the screens appear to have taken a dive with the hack. Oh well.

Ahh, I remember this now Scal.  I forgot what the map was but I do remember him having a shader difficulty.

Tab:  How about a Gen party! 

Tab:  I find your lack of partying disturbing... but I find your DOOM map aesthetically pleasing.  Keep up the good work.  Darth 'Gater out.

You misread: the texture mentioned is actually one of the very few that I didn't make. The other part is correct though, my door texture is in that pack, and it's also cut and pasted good to make other textures from it, for instance.

The only real problem that map suffers from, so far, is that it's starting to get a bit themeless, a bit like a bunch of juggled brushes. I've still got it sitting around here, and there's enough acceptable sections in it to press for a release later, but I'm working on the Doom map first.

Both are pretty much on hold at the moment, though. I've always had difficulty doing one thing (studying) and another (gen-devving) without letting the flow of one slow to a trickle..
