If you had wadincluded submerged.wad, and got rid of all those bmp (!!!) files, then you could upload your map to TWHL just fine, because its under 2 MB that way.

About the map:

Not bad at all. Very decent mapping there, however, there are a couple of issues:

1. Having doors that open/close in deathmatch isn't really a good idea, it slows down gameplay a lot. I'd say keep them open, or make them open up faster.

2. If you decide to keep the doors, at least add a lip value for the sliding doors, they will dissapear in the wall if you leave the lip value 0, which is weird and unrealistic.
Doors that swing open open too slow. Give them some more speed.

ok ill try that.

Doors in a DM is a bad idea. IF you still do, add sliding doors and make them FASTER. Jexus

raver that thing with the wall is pretty random. i dont know why it happens but i will try to fix it. also i removed some unnecesarry doors and made the rest much faster

edit: added a few changes and fixes. should improve the gameplay.

I had a test play with Skals on my server, and I've got to say its his best outcome until now. Keep it like that skals !

In this map getting the most powerful weapons is what defines fun. The weapons are intelligently disposed around the map. Very fun indeed.
There are some problems here and there, near a vent there is a "hall of mirros" error, but the map seems pretty "alive" to me and that's what makes a map.
Lighting ? Excellent !
The architecture of this map doesn;t let you eyes tell you "it's boring ...", so that's a major plus. A minor problem was that it's kinda ... claustrophobic around some places. There are few open spaces and when the server would get filled of players this can be a real problem. Otherwise, it's good.
I'm a modest mapper, so from my opinion this map gets 5 stars.

thanks. i fixed the "hall of mirrors" bug already.

It looks very good and it's the best Skals map I've played, however, the lasers you have to jump over are really annoying. I would prefer there was only one laser you had to jump over or if there was a way to turn them off. Also, I expected the wooden crates to be breakable.

4.3... almost, almost 5.

True, those lasers you have to jump over are indeed annoying. Get rid of those, its deathmatch afterall, not singleplayer.

And yeah, add some additional architecture behind that big door, creating the effect that the map is bigger.

Also, remove those instant deaths. It annoys players.

well i didnt get totally rid of them, i lowered them and made them only do 35 not 10000 dmg. potatis and muzz / mighty atom, i added more stuff in that bit of the image. you should not see a big nice room not blackness.

however i do not agree with the crates. they are there as obstacles and objects to hide behind. its like that in most of the deathmatch maps. ill keep the crates the way they are.

edit: i will upload new one soon.

edit: ok its uploaded. good enough?

The new room you added is a bit square, but a lot better than nothing. You also fixed the laser problem. 4.6/5. How do I change my rating? If an administrator/moderator reads this, please change my rating to 5 instead of 4. Thank you.

thanks potatis, really apreciate it.

Everything seemed great except for those damn vents. More than once, I accidentally fell down into a vent and was forced to crawl for what seemed like miles until I reached one of the two exits.
There needs to be a ladder or something to prevent that sort of thing.

well, i designed them that way as a quick escape and a place to store the best weapons in the map, since its easy to get in but takes a while to get out
