It's kinda funny because your own screenshots show the "murkiness" problem (which I assume is somehow related to HDR/Bloom) which is also exhibited by KF-Biohazard-Ex on this map, yet you're releasing it as final.

I tried it and, sure enough, the problem is there.

If this is not fixed, I personally can't see this map as playable at all... let alone final.

Is it really funny? At least it accomplished something.

This murkiness is easily fixed, maybe I'll do it at some point.

I'm sorry but the fact that you included the word 'Fail' in the name of your map is kind of worrying. :p

Yep, that does look better.

It's brighter than that however, taking screen shots seems to change the lighting of it slightly.

I think I'll clean up all this mess after the first wave of the mapping contest and everything quiets down a bit, if I had help it would have been easier, instead of ridiculing the map for the name and moving on.

But I digress.

I don't need help mapping, never did. I only needed help testing, which people refused to do after getting pissy with the name.

im going to test it right now.

and yes we were pissy about the name, it was "Pleasureland", a theme park with no theme or attractions. of course we'd be pissy about that. thats like saying, "heres my map KF-Disneyland", we open it up, and its a forest with some grass and trees and a shack.

ok, so far heres what i got for you:

that building with the pointy roof, and the big experimentation table in the middle. you have a woodchip texture for the floor, you need to scale that texture so it looks better

the layout is good, but with that weird lighting/bloom thing you have, its very confusing knowing where youre going.

the underground area with the corridors and rooms is very cool, IF I WERE A KEEBLER ELF! please scale that area!

PS: you were in a rush to release the map, so it looks now you have to go back, and fix these things so ppl will actually want to play it. it could be a very good map, i like the pool and how it leads to the underground, very cool, but the badly sized brushwork and the horrible bloom/drunkeyes makes it very hard to tell where im going. wouldve been alot better if you kept it at beta instead of having to do this:
