Dunno how many JK units is in one player and in GTK.

Probably the best way is to build the level proportional the player.

One unit it JO/JA is 1.5 inches, so the small 8x8 squares that show up by default are 1 foot each. The info_player_start entity is 4x4x6 units, which is probably a good guide.

The info_player_start is the height of a human, use it to your advantage but remember the 3rd person camera adds a bit more height. Best is just to try out a map with several marked heights then see which one is best. That's how I got my idea of scale.
