Don't spam Zoldat...at least say something original instead of repeating Rambo.

From the overview alone, I see this:
*Prolly way too big (If you have to use 2 overviews that's a bad sign)
*Is that water? Make a bottom to it, don't let it do down forever
*Shading, obviously, but not just that
*Put some variation in your tunnels...ground is too flat.
*Creating depth through shading your sceneries can make a map look much better

Also, making more than one route is definitely a to-do kind of thing. You want to be able to cap, right? ;)

I think it does has two routes. The low one right above the water and the higher one on the bridge.

Might i even suggest more than two?

It is a big map. Big maps need more routes...

First of all, .bmp is too big and take lots of time to load, so convert them to .jpg or .gif before you post.

Shading IS important, read some tutorials about it. [2] [url="http://archive.forums.soldat.pl/topic.php?topic_id=20927">[3]

Some polygons are too thin, and thin polys cause problems.

And......

More spawn points don't mean they spawn more or faster, it depends on the settings of the server.

thanks for the sugjestions, ill get to work on it.


I knew the respawn wouldnt be faster, but it's really boring, for me at least, to spawn in the same corner or w/e.

Thanks again
