People join in the daytime as well -- pretty much whenever. The community seems interested in the map, but unwilling to download it via my SLOW upload rate (1 kb/s
)
I run the server straight from my computer overnight; it's just the default HL2DM server name because I don't have the money or need for a full-time server, since (I find this kinda funny) I make DM maps but suck in DM.
The server usually starts around 12:30AM Central and stops when I wake up around 6:30AM

I don't mean that ironic but the problem with dark maps is daytime play.
I like the rain. I didn't know it workd so well in HL2DM!

I haven't had anyone complain about the brightness in the public betas. forgot to tell you guys that ._. -- I leave the map running on an internet server overnight so people can check it out. Heh, I have a clan that's interested in my map :P Clan [FU]. By the way anyone know where I can get ahold of them?
Anyway, back to the map. New shots -- added rain effects, converted the slime to a pond, made some lights breakable. The indoor lights and "porchlights" are alot brighter now that I've switched to texture lighting. They also give the map a "cold" feel; in the mines it looks "freezing" because of all the blue-white.
Orph: I keep most of the old screenshots -- if I don't do that I still have the old maps. There's about 14 versions of Sublevels on my computer -- I save a new version if I do something drastic and complex, that way if I don't like it I don't have to go through and delete a bunch of crap. Later on (being on a Celeron it takes like 5 minutes to load something in HL2) I'll get some shots of my earliest map so you can see how far I've progressed.

Yea, make it much brighter. I don't even think the current lights (no matter how bright) are enough.

Don't change the brightness if you want the light to cover longer distances. Take a look at the linear option (or whatever that option was called - could be multiple others, too).

I'm still relatively new to Source mapping. The "streetlights" are turned up all the way but by the time it reaches the ground it isn't very bright. I tried turning the other lights up almost all the way as well.
Also, I tried to add boulder props and it started acting up.. I guess I could try it again though

A bit too dark don't you think? The sky's light is fine but there are very few other lights and I think they emmit a really dim light. Try adding bolders, bushes and don't forget a few trees.

The RPG is in the mines, which the elevator leads to, which is the reason for the elevator.

You could place an RPG in the elevator or similar. Risk management.
