it looks very crazy, unusual textures and you can pretty walk on every roof.

Where are you getting your textures from?  I think you need some brighter ones.  As everybody else has mentioned, it's too dark.  The crates look super bright, though.  Overall, they just don't mix well -- some are too bright and most are too dark.  I'm just going by the screenshots.

I must agree with what everyone's saying. I don't like the lighting/choice of textures.

Jitspoe,

Anychance of loading these new maps on ev1 to see how they play? Like we used to in pick-up? Then delete them after testing. I would like to test with kal and others. I hope to accomplish instrest in newer maps.

I'm planning to set up a server dedicated to map testing, but I haven't gotten around to it yet.

Ok, took a look at the map.

- You need to put beta maps in the "maps/beta" directory and give them an appropriate filename, like kalucky_b1.bsp (to avoid cluttering the maps directory, and to make sure there aren't multiple versions of the map with the same name floating around).
- Textures are dark, paletted, and yucky looking.  Why did you use .wal files?  You should use jpeg images on max quality.  The ceiling texture looks terrible.
- Where are these textures from, and what license do they have?
- The lighting seems OK -- I think the darkness is mainly because of the textures.
- The sky needs to be higher so you don't bang your head on it.
- The roofs on the buildings along the edge should really have another side to them, and then put a clip texture or something to prevent people from going over them -- it looks weird to just have half a building cut off and then void...
- There's no map name (message key).
- The gamemodes aren't set up properly.  I tried to load the map in 1 flag mode and captured the flag as soon as I grabbed it.
- Use the "final compile" option.  The lightmap looks blocky.
