All you have is a skybox in that map, nothing can be seen.

lol. I was being hassled to hurry up

What I actually wanted to say above is a lot more indepth.

Worldspawn settings, are the light settings applied to your map.
They are an entity that does not require creation. to change your worldspawn settings, deselect everything (hit ESC a few times)
Then press n, this will bring up the window with worldspawn selected. This is where you enter your values.

your values will be found on the iWiki.

the reason your map is like it is, is because you have nothing in it. A skybox is simply a square which given the correct texture after compile will create the illusion of a 3D sky, although in reality it is still just a box.

You will need at least a floor for people to stand on (as skyboxes are not solid), a spawn, and a global intermission.
