Information:
==============
There are 3 ways out of the house and 2 ways out of the graveyard in this very dark map. It's optimised for 3-6 maybe up to 8 players. The map is very detailed so if you notice any fps drops tell me, please.

TIPS:
==============
- Don't waste ammo
- Use bright areas
- The most powerfull weapon is near the crypt

Downloading now, although from the screenshots some areas appear too dark. Maybe adding a small spot light or something in some areas, not too bright not too dark? Very atmospheric looking too.

I honestly can't see anything in the screenshot. It seems very dark.

I seem to remember downloading this map off one of the servers. It was a good deal too dark overall and made it hard for both zombies and survivors to navigate. I also noticed one exploit where you could get up on the wall that surrounds the map so may want to check into fixing that as well.

As for the outside maybe try using an light_env with a dark color to give some more ambiant light outside or try messing with the -gamma flag in HLRAD to make it a bit brighter overall. Also don't be afraid to light up the inside of the house more since I think it was almost darker than the outside.

this is a new version of the map. you can't walk on the walls now and the house has more lights inside. i could make it a little brighter, ok.
here are my compiler options:
-extra -fade 150 -bounce 4 -smooth 89 -dscale 4 -gamma 0.6

Played this for a bit. I really like it because of the size, great for small games. However, it is WAY too dark. Also, it could stand to be a hair bit bigger, maybe you could add on to what you currently have.
