I was wondering, what is the skill level needed for this? More specifically, what exactly do we need to optimize in the maps? I am asking because I've just started mapping myself and I want a challenge.

I"m sure some of the mappers will post some examples to get you going .

Well, I create a map for zombie server but i can't optimize it. When i use mat_wireframe 3 i see all rooms in the map.

Probably you have somewhere func_detail on your map.Rember func_detail is placed only on small things.Not on outside walls that lead to nowhere.Or maybe you have a mistake by making the optimiziation itself, remeber the skip texture must touch the skybox .If this doesn't help and you dont understand write so we can help you, if not ask for skype

It is easy to place hint/skip and area portal to doors and windows but my map has 2 ventilation shafts that leads to another room next to the 1st. What to place? A huge hint btw them, small ones in the shafts or area portal?
