!!!'s World of Chaos

You could get a freewebs site. That's what I do.
Deathmatch starts are used for match mode levels. They are in no way related to starposts.
Ok. The first level is not yet officially done until you guys give me some things for me to change and/or fix. The game so far (1 level completed) is about 65mb. The size is so huge because of all the music that was put in to it (extra ones). You will/should see a difference in the title screen music and some of the levels (not yet but just one). Could you give me a site so I could upload this file and so you could download it and look at it?
It helps to read error messages, you know.

I won't be able to play it for a month. Can I see some screens?
The other levels...
Reply to GCFreak...
Thanks! Ok. The level will stay exactly the same, except for the removal of some of the enemies. Thanks for the tips! Those tips would bring out the other levels to be better than the first one.
The first level should have lots of switches because it's called "The Gate." It is known as the entrance to !!!'s World of Chaos. (!!! has lots of worlds; this is the beginning) There is a really high security system (the enemies). The reason they're like that because Eggman (again) took over this place. (He wants to take over the world for power, right? So that means if he wants more power, he would take over the other worlds as well.)
The Gate: Act 2 is in the making right now. Next release after the make of Zone 2: City Forest Zone Act 1.

GCFreak, I must say, you have horrible tastes in levels.
!!!, the level is FAR too cramped, and is almost maze-like. There are no alternate paths, there's nowhere in the level where you can actually get going fast, and there are no places where any of the characters' abilities are useful. You seem to have learned the technical aspect of level making (Using linedef specials, adding a thok barrier, using texture offsets, etc.), but the design of the level is just bad.
Sonic levels are meant to be open, allow for a little exploration, have secrets and multiple paths, and be easy to find your way through (That is, you don't ever have to stop and search around for the correct way to go). Just look at the levels from official Sonic games, or some of the levels in SRB2 or the level packs for it. Those will show you how to make a good level.

Just played it over again, and I'm gonna be brutally honest, now.
For a first level ever, it's OK, but there are many things you need to improve on.
Textures Pick your textures wisely. You have too many rock formations in this level and the bustable walls have weird textures on them.
Buttons Please don't use too much of these. They are extremely frowned upon in levels and should NEVER be used too much. It's OK for about 2 or maybe 3 switches, but 10 or so is not.
Size The level design should never be too small for the camera to look in. Have large, open areas for sonic to run in, remember, this is not DOOM.
Things Scenery is a must for green levels, but enemies are not. Adding too many enemies is not very good, like I said, adding too much enemies will end up getting Sonic creamed.
Length Long hallways are not very good in maps. But still, make your levels long and full of secrets to find, don't end up like my CCZ :P.
And this is just the bare minimum of things. You've got the techy side of things like FF said, but you haven't got the design aspect mastered yet.
