I suggest you include a couple of snapshots so people know what to expect.
I'll try them and see.

EDIT: Then again, maybe not...

You have a couple of options when using the Print Screen button. But that button would be the first step in taking a screen shot of a map for us while your playing in the map. Also, try to take more than 1 for us to see. Maybe 3-5 would be nice or something, depending on how big the map is. If you need a good place to upload the images for us to see then I suggest going to ImageShack.us (http://www.imageshack.us)

The default key is F11 and that prints a screenshot in .tga format. This is (in my opinion) very inconvenient and stupid since sizes are huge, so if you find it easier, then bring down the console and type for example /bind F11 screenshotJPEG

This will print a .jpg file with considerable smaller size and which you might have more use for ;)

Okay, thanks.
Can instead of /bind F11 ScreenshotJPEG...
Is /bind F11 ScreenshotPNG possible, I think portable network graphics are the best ;) (PNG)

Oh well.
I must seem like a Real Noob, Got another Question.
How do you add lamps and whatnot to your map?
I can add entity lights but thats it.

Maybe when PNG is available in upstream: https://bugzilla.icculus.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2718

You mean models? & prefabs?

Use misc_model to bring in OA models.
