I have no clue. Post a screenshot of the map you made.

Maybe they mean that your landscape is too round and needs to have sharper edges... but yeah, I'm just totally guessing. Could you put a link to the post that suggested this?

Could be to do with sharp polys but I dont know..  I doubt the help was in any way useful really.  Unless sharp means shade in a different language or something XD

im not at home atm, but i will post the map a bit later, dont know how to make screenshots with the full map on it, so i cant make it.
it was just my first map so i dont know how to "shade" it too or what it means...
what does shade means and how to shade the map so?
i just made the polygons, texture and scenery-gfx files nothing else,
so it's possible that he means shade^^

Shade... colors. Look at ctf_B2b, how the bottoms of the giant floating rocks are darker than their tops, and the areas under the bridges are lit while the rest are darkened. Shade. Make shadows. Don't make the polygon vertices flat-white; that's boring.

Take a screenshot by pressing the Prt Scr button next to F12 and pasting (CTRL + V) in Paint, and upload the image to your post as a .PNG file.
