hmmm

its generally a good idea to scale down wall textures (that should keep room sizes down)

most of your problems seem to involve making areas too big, so that will solve some of the problems

hallways depend on what you want in them

I find when I satart a map i drop 1 info player start and use that to get the start

Well, a good height for a hallway is 128 units. Of course, I use Radiant and it has marked units... No real way to tell in VHE except by comparing texture sizes or putting down a player_start

vhe has units aswell, on the status bar at the right (i think havent got hammer open atm), it tells u ur grid size ur currently at use [ and ] to change the grid size

but yeah 128 is a gud starting size for height
