You really ought to light the map, MenZa. The map would be fun for a LAN due to its really small size. But, I wouldn't play it otherwise...
<br>
<br>And you really should add some cubemaps... if you don't know how to, then place them around the map at the player's height (the height of a info_player_start). Then when you've compiled the map, type 'buildcubemaps' in the console. Et voila. Cubemaps.

Why is it that when I make a small map for gameplay and not looks everyone bashes me. No one ever gives me a good comment like "I like the idea of..." Now this here is worse looking then my map and no one has said it sucks yet. From what I experinced, I am going to give you a 6.
<br>
<br>This 6 is because I know you spent time making this map, and I'm sure its fun to play (havent downloaded it yet). But you could make the lighting a bit better. Try making it a little less bright.

No offence, but that's because your map looks much uglier than this one does (played both of em so i'm not talking about the screenshots).
<br>
<br>And yes, I have to agree that this map looks as if someone forgot to run vrad.

Please never post your first map. It's even worse if it's a FY. It's even worse if it isn't lit. And it's even worse if it looks downright ugly.

Don't ever post first maps, and especially don't post it on the front page of Snarkpit.

There's nothing wrong with posting first maps. Everyone starts somewhere, and making that first map is a HUGE step - one that we all had to take.
<br>
<br>That said, you should expect honest reactions to your creation - not all will be good. Develop thick skin.
<br>
<br>Now - take what you have done, compare it to professional quality maps. You have the abiltiy to get from 'map 1', to professional quality - it just takes time and practice.

I've looked through your comments and I'm going to release a v2 with a light_environment (I have added cubemaps.. they're just a bit silly looking, not enough of 'em)
