Just a small funmap I made with some freetime.
Full idea credit goes to aveiRik
Single flag CTF,
Spawn with carbine, 2 autococker pickups.
The lighting is very ugly, I think it's just the way it looks underwater. Maybe someone could give me advice on how to make it light better?

There are no light sources. It's just bright everywhere. I don't think it will play very well. I've put it up on the beta server, so you can give it a try, though.

We played a basic version, it was very fun.
As for light sources, I tried using normal lights, they failed, so I tried sky, still looks like over bright. There aren't any leaks either, no errors.
Making b2, as spawnfix

Try adjusting the light value, or maybe use some light entities to create some variation. I don't see why normal lights wouldn't work. The only thing being underwater should do is add the caustic effects. Make sure the water itself isn't emitting light.

from the mapshot it looks really small +no cover for carbines and autos

It's underwater
EDIT: jitspoe, I tried that, for some reason it's not working. I also checked to make sure no other brushes were emitting light accept from the sources themselves.
EDIT:
Found what it was, the texture I set the base entity as was that plain white, which infact had 8000 light on it.

This map is better than pbcup_pforest..

Uploaded b3, all fixed :D

I am wondering if I can slide on ice under water or not.

Not really, if you crouch, you can slide a bit, but nothing worth writing home about.

I'm guessing you somehow made it so players don't drown here, correct? ;D

There's drowning.
This map isn't much fun IMO.

Bad.

I think a map underwater in a dome could be cool. You could make some fish swimming around it. But I think shooting underwater is not a good idea. I know aveiro wanted you to make this but I don't think anyone would ever play it and it would be a pub killer.

Nah, Asla made almost same map in oddjob version, but JMR said, he would do it better if we want.
