Version 2 Alpha 4: Approximately Christmas (12/26/2019)
Merry Christmas! Here's your present! An update to nobody's favorite map! Yea, it's kinda crappy. And small. And also late. But it's all you're getting, so you better appreciate it.
Map Changes:
-Modified the method by which the gate alarm functions to repeatedly test for a gatebots' presence near the gate after every alarm loop (should fix bugs where the gate alarm continues to play even when no gatebots are at the gate)
-Fixed the gate alarm not re-enabling after the gate was captured and reset
-Added new relays: route_hide_relay, boat_stop_relay
-The previous route is fully disabled before selecting a new route with any wave_init_* relay
-Robots will never take fall damage
-Fixed the base of the crane being slightly sunken into the floor
-Widened the area of the bomb route that passes by the gate and made layout adjustments to the surrounding area
-Adjusted the func_respawnroom on the cargo crate spawns to fit entirely within the crate spawn
-Adjusted some health/ammo placements and sizes
-Adjusted the pipe passing over the right bomb route just past the gate, such that giants will no longer get stuck on it
-Raised the battlements above the gate entrance and made the doorways underneath these battements taller
-Changed the floor texture in the Red boat interior areas to provide a better contrast against the walls
-Fixed a bug where players could get pushed and stuck in the ground by standing under the lip of the Blu main boat
-Fixed issues with robots struggling to jump down from spawnbot_main
Starboard Strike (Intermediate Mission) Changes:
-Remade wave 1
-Tweaked robot counts and spawn rates across all missions
-Added/removed/swapped out some robots
-Rewrote some waves from the ground up
Other Changes:
-Updated/improved the README.txt file
Known issues:

- Projectiles with projectile penetration (whether purchased, ie Huntsman, or built-in, ie Righteous Bison) will break in mid-air when entering or being fired within the bounding box of any dynamic brush entity. This includes most of the right side of the front of the Red ship. (Hitscan weapons are unaffected.)
- In some cases, spawning multiple robots from spawnbot_ocean_forward at the same time will cause some of the robots to miss the boat and fall back into the ocean.
Over half a year later, I return yet again... This time, I hopefully won't get distracted by some TF2Maps contest or event. Anyway, this version changes up the layout of the interior of the Red boat to make it more interesting and (hopefully) better fit how I want that part to play out. I think I've fixed some of the issues that were prevalent previously, at the cost of making it more open and sightliney. Even still, some areas may still feel cramped, so I'm not entirely satisfied with it, but I figured I should test it to figure out if I'm even moving in the right direction. Additionally, this update revamps the map's logic and adds numerous new features for mission developers to play with, all of which are documented in the README.txt file within the ZIP. Notably, beyond this point mission developers will be REQUIRED to include an InitWaveOutput with each wave, in addition to StartWaveOutput and DoneOutput.
Undocumented Change in V2A2:
-Replaced the giant demoknight boss in Starboard Strike's wave 4 with a chief knockback soldier boss
Map Changes:
-Removed engineer bot hint entities, as engineer robots did not work previously (they'll return soon, maybe)
-New robot spawns "spawnbot_ocean" and "spawnbot_ocean_forward"
-New recognized robot tags "bomb_carrier_main", "bomb_carrier_mannhattan", and "ocean_spawn"
-The floor of the front of the Red ship no longer has a dip; it is now entirely flat
-Redesigned the interior of Red's ship
-Reduced the time to capture the gate from 15 seconds to 12 seconds
-If the bomb reaches the bomb hatch platform and is subsequently pushed off past the shortcut stairs, the bomb carrier will be able to take those stairs back to the hatch rather than going around and up the ramp
-Replaced the bomb hatch with a closed hatch (the bomb hatch no longer functions as a deathpit)
-Redesigned much of the map's logic
-Added new relays and features for popfiles to interact with: wave_init_relay, wave_init_left_relay, wave_init_right_relay, wave_init_tworoute_relay, wave_init_tworoute_left_relay, wave_init_tworoute_right_relay, wave_start_mannhattan_relay, wave_start_notimer_relay, upgrade_forward_open_relay, upgrade_forward_open_message_relay, upgrade_forward_close_relay, upgrade_forward_timer_relay, wave_pause_relay, wave_resume_relay, wave_stun_relay, wave_break_start_relay, wave_break_finished_relay, wave_break_timer_relay, bomb_add_relay, bomb_return_relay, bomb_reset_relay, gate_reset_relay, and player_respawn_relay (see the README file for documentation on each)
-From this point forward, missions will be required to include an InitWaveOutput in each wave
-The control point now has a robot head icon overlay when captured by Blu team
-The robot critical boost granted after a gate capture is no longer applied to giant robots
-Players that are inside the Blu miniboat's destination area when the miniboat teleports will be killed to prevent players getting stuck in Blu's spawn
-Players can no longer stand on the edge of Blu's spawn dropdowns
-Adjusted health/ammo placement around the bomb hatch
Starboard Strike (Intermediate Mission) Changes:
-Updated to meet new map requirements
-Increased the health of the chief knockback soldier boss in wave 4
-Slight adjustments to robot names
-The chief knockback soldier boss in wave 4 and the giant heavy at the end of wave 6 now spawn at spawnbot_ocean and spawnbot_ocean_forward
-Added ocean_spawn tag to giant robots
-Fixed missing bot_giant tag on some robots
Other Changes:
-Updated/improved the README.txt file to reflect new map features/requirements and better convey previous features/requirements

This includes most of the right side of the front of the Red ship. (Hitscan weapons are unaffected.)
- The base of the crane at the front of Red's ship is sunken into the ground slightly, causing the feet of the base to z-fight with the floor.
- In a majority of cases, spawning multiple robots from spawnbot_ocean_forward at the same time will cause some of the robots to miss the boat and fall back into the ocean.
Version 2 Alpha 2
Map Changes:

Version 2 Alpha 1: New Beginnings
We're back! After a couple years, I decided to finally return to this map and improve it in all the ways I originally should have. I've become a much better mapper since the last version (I hope), and so we're starting over with a brand-spanking-new map, new missions, and new gimmicks, all rebuilt from scratch (and with 95% less edgelordiness)! And this time, I'm not using old.mvm.tf to make my popfiles! Yay! Here's hoping this goes better than the first version!
- Rebuilt the entire map and missions from the ground up
The front of the boat. Robots spawn from the blu boats on the left and right.
The middle of the cargo crate area. The two buildings on the side each have forward upgrade stations that are disabled during a wave.
One side of the boat, at the end of the cargo crate area.
The singular control point, which unlocks a forward spawn for robots when captured. Built into the front of the central building.
Inside the central building. One bomb route goes through the lower floor, while the other goes through the upper floor.
A view facing the front of the boat from the upper floor of the central area of the center building.
A view of the dropdown that robots take along the upper bomb route right before entering the bomb hatch area.
The bomb hatch area. Red's spawn and main upgrade stations are visible on the right.
The bomb hatch area, from a different angle.
An overview of the map, with the two bomb routes highlighted in red and blue lines, respectively. Robots spawn on the front side of the boat (right side) and move to the bomb hatch (left). Some robots will attempt to capture the gate (center) before trying to deliver the bomb.

- Robots will sometimes not spawn at the forward miniboat spawnpoint. This may cause a wave to break if the control point is captured. (Fixed in V2A1a.)
- Projectiles with projectile penetration (whether purchased, ie Huntsman, or built-in, ie Righteous Bison) will break in mid-air when entering or being fired within the bounding box of any dynamic brush entity. This includes most of the right side of the front of the Red ship. (Hitscan weapons are unaffected.)
I still have a few things on my to-do list for beta, such as the 3D skybox, but I've been spending too long on this and I need to get it out. Oh, and here's what I learned from my first detailed map: Detailing is hard... I think I spent more time detailing the bomb hatch room than I did detailing the entire rest of the map, and it shows... A lot... The bomb hatch room is probably the only thing that could be considered detailing, everything else is mostly just retexturing and lighting improvements. But I wasn't expecting to win any awards for detailing anyway.
-Forward upgrade station hand sign no longer casts shadows
-Fixed upgrade station signs not spinning
-Artpass and detailing
-Fixed robots getting stuck trying to take a path through a tight area
-Upgrade signs are now nonsolid
-New layout for cargo crate area
-Layout changes for the interior area
-Added spectator cameras
-Changes to Oceanic Onslaught (advanced .pop file)
The view from the front of the Mann Co ship. The boat on the left is Gray Mann's ship. The ramps are where robots attack from.
