a quite ambitious project.

Well, honestly, deisgn looks pretty poor (don't want offend anyone). Pay more attention to details, look some good SP maps. I advise to play "Citadel" by Andrea Rosa, he did a great job.
But idea is very interesting. I've always dreamed of seeing Q4 remake in Q2. Moreover, with KMQ2 engine possibilities in won't be too hard. I've even tried to make a SP map, when player get captured by Stroggs, but resqued in the last moment.
I've even made a player's model in laying position, but it got lost due to the breakdown of an old hard drive.

However, you can see it.

Try to decompile original Q4 maps to get right idea of proportions.

This project looks quite ambitious for a first release. However, it is unfortunate that you didn't nail down the basics of good Q2 level design before taking on a project of this size.

The design quality is rather subpar, and in the heyday of Q2 mapping this could even get you the mockery of being featured at Cranky Steve's Haunted Whorehouse (yes, that was a real site).

I recommend that mappers take time to really hone their design skills before attempting a large project. You should not release your first few maps, but only keep them as a learning experience. Only when you begin to get your craft on par with id's maps and the better known user maps should you publicly release them.

There's no need to decompile Quake4's (or Doom3's) maps, as they're right there in the pk4 files.

Are Q4 maps stored in non-BSP format?

There is no .bsp anymore in id Tech 4. There's the .map source file, which the game loads, along with text-based .proc and .cm files for draw surfaces and collision models, and multiple .aas files for different bbox clip sizes.
