a lot of the brush strokes are too clearly defined, you may want to blur it

depending on how you set up your alpha it could turn out looking bad in those areas, with the grass and sand textures merging oddly

so you can see the object, but can't do anything to it? i know if you hide something it doesn't appear in the selection box, but then you wouldn't be able to see it at all

try selecting unhide all, maybe it's glitched

this isn't really halo related... you should contact your internet service provider if your internet connection is bad. you might just have a loose cable or something like that though

your message of the day file shouldn't interfere with your map lineup

paste your entire init.txt here, you probably have some other errors which are messing up the mapcycle

also, here is the basic dedicated server tutorial on halomaps.org:

i think you're just not taking the exported data from your listener window and saving it

when you export the file it goes to your listener window and you must copy it to notepad or some other plaintext text editor and save it
