Canyon a7b

Payload was screwed up. Fixed now for real

Adds 'a' to version for unique naming

Another little fix to the lava in the D point side passage

Due to huge gap to unreachable area I have to fix this quickly before next maptest can happen.

pl_canyon_a7 changelog​

Gameplay​

• Added route on far end of D deathpit
• Adds clipping to C point building
• Adds additional signs
• Adds packs around D deathpit route
• Adds details for better conveyance to C point
• Replaces 2Fort bridge with roof at Blu spawn

Bugs​

• Fixes huge gap in roof on D point
• Fixes gap to unreachable section on Blu side of C point

Huge changes to C point in this one.​

After C point has been a wet sandwich I decided an overhaul was needed. C now resides in a building you can see as soon as you enter the smaller canyon. It dominates the space to help Blu see they must go in and take it. Red is given ready access to this building, and has easy access to the third floor where Engies and Spies can hunker down. The ground floor has stairs in the back behind a half-wall to give a way up to track level on floor two. There are packs scattered around to encourage players to go around the map.
A/B point has changed a bit too. There is now a second story to the dinky buildings on the higher level providing better routes and bases to Red and Blu. This should give better opportunities to Red's setup, and Blu's push on B point.
The walkway to D on the far side of the map has been closed off entirely to provide better flow in the map. This will get players to move on from the A/B side after it is captured, but not leave them too far behind and points are taken.
