[MAP] C.Q.B. Madness

[GeneralKarnage]

This is a map that I made a year or so ago (not quite sure when). I recently revised it and decided to post it here. It's good for team games of all modes except Bomber-Ball (there is no bomb). I was inspired by real-life indoor airsoft arenas.

It's kind of like a maze, but there are some open spaces and several good places for snipers. There are also some secret areas (I might add more of these later!)

Looks a bit dark at the moment, which usually doesn't go down so well in practice.

Usually I'm the guy who complains about maps that are too dark
But here it's really dark, all the brick corridors have no lighting at all.

I quickly tried to triple the number of lights at the ceiling, and it seemed about right for me (each row offset by 8*4m, lowering the radii from 400 to 360).

Also the ceiling gets very bright, maybe you want to lower the lights a bit or add some spotlights and/or dziq's light cones?

The specular on the alpha/omega panels is super bright, what about /vdelta vshaderparam specscale 0.2 0.2 0.2 on these?

Maybe it makes sense to connect the sniper/mine room with the bases using some more corridors with stairs. Not sure if the hiding/rocket spots on the roof girders are a good idea.

That being said, I think it's nice a theme / map concept. I imagine going through the maze is slow, but gives you at least some cover from the all mighty snipers.

Personally, I like dark maps, but I can see where you guys are coming from. I do agree with the fact that the brick corridors could use some more light (I was actually considering placing some lights in there, but I wasn't sure what the said lights would look like) and the all-too-reflective team symbols. I might also reduce the fog a bit.

For those sections that are not part of the main hall, a natural solution to your lighting problem may be windows with sky texture for sunlight based lighting.

Looks like a good map for something like Counter Strike, but certainly not Red Eclipse.
