Ammo House works
ammo house or spawn house for the X ones sound good...also the one you have as bar I think it would be better to call it either the bakery or the bread house since the hotel and the blue cafe both have bars in them so maybe trying to distinguish it alittle more.

Still a good job! looks good!
This spray was done with Arial Narrow size 9. It is not as pretty but it is legible in a spray.
It's legible to most people but if the graphics settings are too high it's hard to read.
You might try a font without the fancy halos. I really like the effect in your map. They're gorgeous but your losing focus when you shrink to spray size. Notice how fine the lines are of the walls. Try making the lines of the characters about twice that width.
You don't have to join a server to test. Just create a server and spray away.
Keep tweeking and you'll get it. The map is very nice so far.

I tried with this font, but it's even worse because my background is not a plain color and if I remove the stroke around the text, it becomes unreadable because the texts gets lost in the map details. I'm still trying to figure out something, what I don't understand is why the text is smudged like that only is some places, but is still very clear everywhere else.

For a reason that I still ignore, most of the text is very readable but some of the axis text is smudged, I don't know what can cause this.
my option..
the txt is way to BIG.. i can barely see the map..
I've adjusted the background map's contrast and brightness in my new version. The spray will look a lot better once I've fixed the smudge problem.

I think the "Ammo Houses" are misleading because I've never put ammo in those spots.

Serious! on the axis side youve never seen ammo in that little nook?? Thats where noxx normally posts his spray! everytime i play thats where everyone puts ammo.
Noo...
He puts it directly to the right of where it says "Flag" under Axis Flag House.
I always see his sig right there, not at the "Ammo House" lol.
