Thanks man.
I really like the split jump pad idea, guess I still have some stuff to do.
On the lighting, I thought I had brightened things up enough, I guess not. It's really hard only working on a laptop. For me the map is almost too bright already, I really find it hard to judge how bright I need to make things for other displays.
On the graphically issues, that was a serious WTF moment for me!!!! I would never release a map with shader problems...and for the life of me I can't see those issues (as you can tell by my screen shots). Even in vertex mode (apart from the skybox not working as it appears in lightmapped mode) I can not reproduce what you have there. What are your game settings? Could this be a video card/driver issue? I'm quite lost here...the ripples are a shader copied from Noruen's map, and the waterfall and sprites taken from rota, I haven't altered the shader at all, apart from editing paths, and I've never had reports of such errors. The water is the same shader I used in my 20 brush map and the same script used by ydnar in his 1337 test map. I really have no idea what gives!! Does it look this way for anybody else?
The water is murky brown, not clear, the water fall isn't clear. The water doesn't do any of the stuff it is doing for you with me....I really am not sure what to do now 
Apart from the apparent shader bugs, the light, jump pad, clipping and flag platform tweaks are quickly and easy enough to fix.
Thanks again....hope this can be solved in time.
