well lemme explain
I have to make all maps look good brightness wise with the same setting. Since my setting seems to be the average setting, I base it on what I see (and nobody but matt complained about smallcube being too dark, so I know that I'm not too dark here).
now icedemon looks good here as well brightness wise (the pic there is too dark, yes, on matts dark system again) it was overbright before.

so if smallcube for example is too dark for you, turn it up until it looks good, so all maps will look good. because all maps are supposed to look good with the same brightness setting, so you don't need to switch it every map for it to look good.

blah :)

The current IceDemon is extremely bright for me :( really can't see anything o_O

Smallcube is just fine :) have never had any problems with other maps.

To be honest, this smallcube is infinitely better than any older smallcube in both style and size :) I love it <3

Thats why I overdid the icedemon lighting. it was totally overlit. not only the brightness wasnt good. if bad lighting design hurt, this map would have killed people ;)
well it's new now. and the dark spot you see at the goal ain't there either. looks good here now.

ehm :)
the OLD one is overlit, not that one. i even have trouble seeing the ball in the old one at times...well it was a blinding experience everytime we played in there. which we actually never do due to the size which doesn't fit any of the famous game modes. sad since its a cool theme.
the guy who made it showed me a newer version, all redone, looking much much better. but he only showed me pics. that was 2 months ago or so. i never got the map and no more reply. dunno whats going on. would like to have it in
too big for 3on3, too small for 5on5, 4on4 never gets played

make two version of it? one a bit smaller than the other?
so you can play 3on3 on one of them, and 5on5 on the other?

Nah should have it's right to it's own identity imo.

And scaling/adjusting size just never works imo :(

I think its a little dark indeed. Considering its a popular map for our pickup chan could do with a make over imo :). Personally i found the old one rather nice :D. <3 the sky

the thing about hockey arenas, is there made to be so bright that there are no shadows at all, lights everywhere (a good arena anyway, not your public skating rink bs) but afaik both maps are fine the way they are, and if you find them to dark just turn your gamma up, im pretty sure you will like it better that way anyways

SC is dark. I don't like the fact that there's no ceiling either.

All maps with a roof shouldn't have ball reset...With Hole you could in theory try scoring by bouncing the ball off the roof...But noooo, it resets. If you like ball reset, then don't add a roof. For a short while IceDemon has ball reset instead of bouncing off the roof and it was shit.
