Please post an overview, those three screenshots don't make one have the feeling "God, I want to download this".

Otherwise you should check out The map deployment wizard.

i still don't get a "god, i want to download this" feeling..

try deleting this, and make a new map. shade, color, layout and gameplay are the key-words.

well the layout is nice a simple but you really need to improve on the looks of your map. http://sml.u13.net/tutorial is a good place to learn how to map using polyworks. I would recommend not using highlight color clouds...however if you choose to do so use scenery killers ambient clouds, they should take the place of the crappy current ones now.

WTF is right :P

If you're trying to make a mirrored CTF map, here are some steps as to how to mirror:
-Complete one side of the map
-Open it in Polyworks
-Select All (Ctrl+A)
-Paste (Ctrl+V)
-Go to Edit>Transform>Flip Horizontal
-Line it up with the other side

And voila. You have a mirrored map.

download soldat mapmaker1.2 make the left part, copy, paste, mirror. thats all

Mapmaker 1.2 is the best for making a map, polyworks is good to tweak it..

Yea, it's something many new mappers go through and I don't blame you for that:

There's no shading at all, the bgcolors are totally off, the clouds look really ugly, there are small gaps between some polys and the map is 'square'

Don't feel offended by what I said. In fact, my first map was one thousand times worst xD
You'll see how you'll get a lot better... if you keep on mapping =)
