Hmmm, maybe soon there will be enough surreal maps to have a dedicated "Surreal Tournament" server.
I can see the dropper mutator by MrLoathsome being very handy too.
eg. "errrrr, I just fragged someone and a rabbit appeared, and when killed the rabbit and it turned into a bowl of flowers :omfg: "

It's not easy to find all those hidden one colour textures in the default packages.
I need a yellow brown for the toast ...maybe I MyLevel something.

It is a bit if you use them often for testing or whatever lol:
Botpack for: red; green, black; gray. (If you use these, some ScriptedTexture's may not work if you're facing surfaces with those textures)
XbpfX for: white; black; orange-to-black shade.

If you cannot find the palette you're looking for into stock textures, you still could apply whatever texture that contains that color and scale it to the maximum, hoping your brush isn't too big(like the ones you showed lol, but you can still split them).
Probably "Belt_fx" has the yellow-brown color you need:

EDIT: The only problem would be the lighting in this case, as SzGergo said:

I made some terrain and trees in Blender and imported it over to UED2.

I used a combination of an ASE exporter for Blender and an ASE to T3D converter to get this.

It's amazing how the ASE exporter in Blender actually keeps the UV maps. It made it very easy for me to align the road textures correctly.

The second link attached/injected to quote doesn't have anything to do with ScreenShots, neither with mapping, and not even with UT99 as a goal of this forum.

It's not TOO MANY BOXES, it's TOO MANY SAME BOXES.
A little bit more variation and different kind of boxes would be good.

@Diego_HoF have you made a floor-plan of your map beforehand? You should invest more time in planing ;)
It's good that you start small and have reduced the vast space. :tu:
Now go further and work on playability.
For example in CS1.6 exists a map which consists of only wooden boxes/crates as a kind of labyrinth. Two teams start at each side and try to get the other team. The map is not that great visual wise but fun to play and the mapper put a traverse over the crates this is a risky short-cut to get faster to the other team.
My advice, add some Z-axis play into your maps.

Diego, it's totally OK to spend more than a few weeks in a map.
Some kinds of maps take months even.

You don't need to quickly assemble the brushes together in a few hours and release whatever you ended up with as fast as you can. Doing it fast doesn't make you better, it only produces rushed things, and rushed is never good.
Take your time to build something, ask questions around if you have doubts in how to do something along the way, but never rush something out.
This also means taking a look at what you just built and iterate on it (make some modifications here and there, add to it, improve it overall, add more details, etc).

A map which takes 10x longer to make ends up being 100x better.
