Check if the map still runs fine in the wire frame mode. If it does there are a two possiblities (from my experience):
1. Your light radii are too big. At first, rebuild lighting only, when this doesn't help reduce the radii to 20 (Check coronas, too).
2. MyLevel got destroyed somehow. Some textures got overwritten and now can't look at them anymore (ingame you see very strange textures but it runs). Then you can't even open the textures in MyLevel. That would be bad because only deleting the brushes would help...

@Alex: Good, finally you also make a part^^. Maybe you can (try to) add a "replace me" brush in direction of editor dave temple part?
Won't it hurt the flow of the map though? In order to connect it to Dave's temple, you will have to make long hallway... unless you guys edit your parts and add some more REPLACEME cubes.

Were you Vertex Editing? That's usually when that happens to me. If two vertices are on the same point on the grid, bad things happen.

If Renegade should be right, I would like to kick your butt paper, use the well known rpg rule: "Save early, saven often"

You should bind mouseleft to quicksave and mouseright to quickload, just in case.

I recently discovered UnrealED also has an autosave feature but that tends to corrupt my groups :O

Progress anyone? I've got a week off classes so I have time to build a couple connector sections if needed. I just don't know who has what. I think at this point we should focus on "closing up" the map. That is, unless most of you want it bigger.

Looks good. Everythings nice and trimmed :) I'm guessing glowing water/lava/slime is going under the ramp.

Agreed. The floor looks grate. (haha?)
However, I would've made those "stairs" ramps or metal slats.
