Um, you know how to bring up the console, right? You did write a guide on how to play custom maps... Just type 'buildcubemaps' as you would 'map MAPNAME'.

Would that build the cubemaps, so that when players download the map...it has built them?

Yes; after you build the cube maps, they are embedded into the bsp file. By the way, if you need to know how to switch between HDR and LDR, look up cube maps on the VDC.

It should be all fixed now. As I loaded the map, built the cubemaps via the console and then re-uploaded the file.

I've recorded an initial playthrough. Check its description for my thoughts on the map. Thanks for mapping.

Blaizer, I must thank you for your playthrough. I never realised the non-intended part of the solution in the first room.

I must congratulate you for finding an alternative method for

redirecting the laser in the third room
. I shall leave it like that as I love that as an alternative solution.

I intended for the

boxes to be hidden and to be placed to make the player explore the level more, rather than just placing obvious box droppers around the rooms.

Nice straightforward level, maybe not quite as easy as we thought from reading the comments. My daughter liked it; she figured out how to get the cube in the last room, and found the reflectocube in the second part and the cube in the first part. She doesn't like

timer puzzles
though, so I needed to finish the first part for her (which took a good number of tries :) ). Thanks!

I'm playing custom maps and record my first time of playing them. So the run is not perfect and may not use only intended ways, but maybe it can let you see how other people may understand the map or you could just enjoy someone playing this map for entertainment.
Anyways, here is the recording:
