    I got an internal beta (UNLIKE A CERTAIN 2.2 BETA GOING ON!!! >/ ) and this map is pretty dam sweet. It looks really nice, but the wide open playground is just awesome. It has so many cool little "tracks" which you could take. With the exception of rocket sniping this will be a really great map.

    To create infantry cover, you could scatter some chips packets, bottles, porn magazines (like Imperial Weekly, and just put a pic of a BE engineers posing kinda ghey), dustfluffs (under tables, behind stuff, they could work like bushes), wires, etc on the floor xD

    Oh, and to prevent retarted rocket sniping right at the start of the game, you could add flags at spawn points in some location that's hard to reach for the enemies, so they'd really just capture it if they're owning... or just create cover with bottles (transparent bottles would be excellent x3), some books or a little Lego wall... O-O

    The map title just begs to have this video posted. And no, this isn't someone just putting the song on top of something, this is a clip from the play it originates from.

    Oh, and if you can get onto that lamp on the ceiling, make sure you can't build an armory up there, it'd be spamtopia.

    Make it a day map so commanders and tanks have a good time fighting in the large area's. You can still make dark bits behind furniture or inside drawers etc...

    Want me to compile the map?
    I have a quad core, and final compiles of Shadows takes like an hour and a half.
    I can get this done fast enough.

    I've tried removing all custom textures and the like.
    This seems to be a big problem. Also, Vrad crashed near as soon as it started.
    I will find the problem!

    I'm not done, I'm going to get it fixed.
    I have found introducing a leak into the map allows for the lighting itself to run as fast, where a non-leaked map crashed.
    Still working!

    If it helps, set lightmaps for everything back to 32 (instead of the 8 I set just before I gave you the vmf).

    That is, um, like, bad.
    It can be caused by funky brushes and possibly bad lightmap density values.

    Find something that looks like it's been made with the vertex tool, or has vertices off the grid, and fix it. (Cordoning will help to narrow things down, of course.)

    And lighting with leaks is faster because it forgoes a lot of lighting prettification that will make transitions from light to dark look better.
