just wanted to see if u guys could test out my map for me... we've been playing it on my server a lot... actually its quite popular... but i figured since u guys have helped me along the way, i would share with you and let u all give me some advice/comments on it... theres an explanation on the map vault page... but note: this is a DE/bomb map... cross title my maps until the final version just in case i forget to add alpha, beta, test, whatever to the end of it... this keeps people from having to go back and delete the beta/test before they can join a game playing the map...

anywho... im rambling...

So heres what I think,
I like the open-style, only when in one corner, the other corner isnt visible.
Alot of secret passage ways is always funny :).
The lighting need fixing though, its way too dark in parts, and the r_speeds go up when on open-area(try increasing scale on the ground).

ya i noticed those 900 speeds outside too... the ground isnt scaled very large right now... ill prolly bump it up to like 2.5 or 3 and see how that helps out...

as for the lighting... i guess what i need to do is reset my gamma and brightness to install defaults... thats the problem... i have them up all the way so i can see in dark spaces... so i never noticed the map was dark... now that u mention it tho... yeah, i guess it is...

Chippy,
There is a good chance that a lot of the speed in this map is caused by the slime/water/whatever.
Also, to fix the dark bit's, why not increase the amount of available light in shadow by using the zhlt switch -ambient n n n in RAD. The Dark bit's will still look dark, but the player will be able to see.
