OK. Finished Adding floors for now. (there are 9 NINE! Floors now)

4 Above surface floors representing the main site.
(brightly white colored walls with only the mail lobby showing the AB color on the floor)

5 Below surface floors representing the Forums.
(With walls, ceilings and floors having textures that resemble the Forums)

I also added some outside space (above surface)

I also removed ALL the Light entities.
(except for the spots being lighted up, everything was pitch dark)

Here is a general Layout of how I am going to organize things
Code:
 _________________________________________________________________
| Updaters/administration level. In here you will find the        |
| tools/pages that the updaters use for adding games and extra's  |
|_________________________________________________________________|
| Services level. In here you can find the Gamebooks, Programs,   |
| and Other non-game pages open for site visitors.                |
|_________________________________________________________________|
| Games Library. All the games on site as a huge library!         |
| Downloadable games can be "lended out" protected ones not.      |
|_________________________________________________________________|
| Main Lobby/page. The front page, including the screenshot quiz, |
| That world map thing and of course the recent updates news.     | Ground level
|_________________________________________________________________|_____________
| Forum main index. The place for the Usercontrol panel,          |
| search, members/staff list and of course the chat box           |
|_________________________________________________________________|
| The forums/threads. In here you can find the user accessible    |
| forum sections like Abandonia.com & Community Chatterbox        |
|_________________________________________________________________|
| ISO Cellar. A separate Library like floor for all the ISO's in  |
| that forum.                                                     |
|_________________________________________________________________|
| Updates Workflow. The Forums within that section for the        |
| users that have access for that section.                        |
|_________________________________________________________________|
| Staff Floor. Includes Staff forums, Graveyard,                  |
| Moderator/Admin tools.                                          |
|_________________________________________________________________|
Now I think of it. I could still add a "Server floor" below the staff floor.
Representing the actual data server. (not the access to it via update controlls)

Anyway. this amount of floors will be good for now.
I now have to work on the individual floor-plans, (moving the walls)
Adding Doors, tables and stuff like that, (that actually WORKS!)
And some sort of admin controls etc. (like a phone to call studentis)

You can grab the current map in This Mediafire folder.
Grab the abandonia.bsp file. That's the latest.
Any map with "_##" are older versions.
