Screenshot Ibis

Detailed description

Ibis is a map bent around a corner of a pyramid in the desert. It is a non-similar CTF map. I know that there are a lot of egyptian-themed maps on the site, but this is my first. I have tried to use some new elements and obsticals in making the map, so it doesn't look too much like other maps with the egyptsoc textureset.
9 bases, 8 jumppads, no teles, 4 green and 2 gold armor, 2 healthboosts and a quad.

While i understand the reason why some people want the main picture of their map to be small in size, i don't understand why the quality bar is so low. Is it a trick to force more people into checking out the map itself because of the screenshot? :P

Sorry that the pic was pixilated, I've replaced it with a new picture that is a bit better quality and I think is simpler and better looking. The new picture doesn't have a title or overlaid shot though, it is just a single screenshot. Should there be any standard for the map image? (besides no game text, good quality) Should a title/a collage of pics be added? The screenshots seem to vary by personal artistic preference.

Compared to other contents, the screenshot still looks very pixelated. Be sure NOT to save as .jpg in Windows Paint, use .png instead (as that could be the problem).

Lighting... I cried.
I'm sorry.

You have your one room with a central bridge and whatnot in it.
You have tons of light sources with LIGHTS on them, in this room, but then you wash that out by putting six *Giant* *Source-less* lights with the radius and brightness levels cranked to high hell. I found that after deleting those giant source-less lights, the room actually looked half decent, with a reasonable level of contrast and some nice-ish shadows.
