Well, here you have it: I did the finishing touches, fixed the bugs. First the credits.
Thanks Soap for the marais texture, because it freaking ownz.
Thanks to everyone in #soldat.mapping who has commented on this map, and to those whom commented in my topic.
Thanks to those who actually tested this map with me, you were a lot of help.
Thanks to LxS for the layers, and chakopoko for the blank scenery lighting ideas.

Now on to the show!
The map is a small, nuubia like ctf, best suited for 2v2. Above that would be a bit chaotic I think. The alternative route is tricky, since you can get killed in the middle, when you jump to the top. I implemented barret-shoot through walls protection, but it doesn't work everywhere, and some part on the map are insant explosive. I didn't waypoint it, because I utterly suck at waypoints.

The zip is missing "laardi3_grass5.bmp".

It's a nice map, a bit small for my taste, but it looks really nice. I like the effect of streaming light and I like how the whole map is "closed in" by polys. The illusion of depth given by the lumps of ground is good.

Looks great and simple.
Love the colors and shading, and how the lil' tunnels have a black background so it looks like they're solid.
That is going to be a crapheapingload of fun!
Great job!
