Xiane, it wasn't meant as personal attack on your work. I just think you should put your creativity to real use, instead of recycling old maps. You know that your gloom.bsp for Trem can never even come close to gloom.bsp for Q2Gloom. You just cannot touch such maps, and not just because some of them are abominations when they were made for Q2Gloom (gloom.bsp anyone). I just would like to see more original work, instead of taking the safe route of recycling. I'm just curious as to what you would produce if you weren't restrained by the original maps.
About the patches, I would advice you to wait until next Trem release to release your map, I know I will. For testing purposes I will clip up most patches, but patches just don't really work well in the current version of Trem. I think it would be pretty cool to have a host of new maps being released around the same time as the new version of Trem is released.
