Chateau x23

-fixed walkway at b forward spawn being invisible
-reduced time given on cap of A and C by 30 seconds

Okay time to make B easier to cap! Im pretty sure this will be the workshop version I just wanted to test just in case. I have to say this change feels really obvious now that I look at it lol.

I held off on this for a few reasons but mainly because I wasnt sure if it was totally needed and wasnt even sure how to do it yet. Last night I had a bit of a realization that I had actually diagnosed the problem while ago but I didnt notice. Maybe it was having several more tests confirm this that helped heh.

In almost 100% of B holds blu gets the cart 90% of the way but gets stuck on the last 15 feet to the cap. Like the cart seemingly got stopped in the same place every single time.

So I moved he checkpoint down a step on the terrain.

This should drastically increase the rate of B captures and actually hopefully provide red a little more time to setup at C. This change might be felt map wide lol.

The forward spawn given to blu on B cap is extremely generous so I hope moving the checkpoint doesnt make that dynamic weird but thats why we test.

Detailed shacks, added some supports around C and placed new architectural props and world textures

This update should alleviate the remaining direction confusion coming out of red forward spawn

-moved red forward spawns to the other side of the room and rotated them to face B
-added a few trees to the large cliff area of B for more cover
-added large red arrow signs on the tracks to C to divert players to B

Workshop Link!

-tons of new lighting and art stuffs
-reduced red B shack ammo from full to medium
-shifted lower B back flank medium health and ammo to inside the choke
-added small health and medium ammo to blu B left side height nook thing

Quick B gameplay update before the final visual push. Red could too easily flank and overwhelm blu in the beginning pre-pit section of B via the tiny left side tunnel flank. I added a one way door to force red into the pit via main if they want to interact with blu.

The second B pacing issue was the last 15 feet before the checkpoint being too difficult. I drastically widened the final push area via removing the tiny red dropdown path which removes some nasty sentry spots and gives blu more room to maneuver.

Its work in progress artpass Chateau time woo. The lighting is still a first draft with mostly ghost lights but should do the trick while I get the new sculpts and gameplay changes tested.

A
-added some trees and shifted around some of the placement
-replaced prop stairs with displacements

B
-removed the fence on upper area
-added a few extra trees
-removed tiny fence attached to main choke into area
-added a required switch back plank path to get out of dropdown area

C
-no gameplay changes

D
-added a few strong sentry spots
-removed basement dropdown room
-reworked reds right side room

Pics of new stuff

This version should fix all of the red forward spawn routing issues and spice up the C gameplay quite a bit. C should also be a lot easier to understand at a glance. The entire plank section at B has been removed and replaced with a set of upward B esque rolling hills. (Thanks Diva Dan)

Work in progress world textures have also been added with some in progress blending. No sculpting yet as I wanted to keep everything relatively the same to test the new B and C changes.

A
-fixed spawn door splashin water all over the damn place
-removed lip on lower route in A to B flank so red doesnt have any cover

B
-plank area replaced with set of rolling hills
-reworked red forward spawn to have two exits and provide better direction

C
-redesigned and simplified outside
-removed outdoor side flank to basement
-added a red side ramp to attic
-removed black one way windows and one way door on flank
-added floor window in attic
-flattened red sentry spot area next to main
-added small plank path up to winder just under C sign

D
-chandelier is now a spytech super computer

Pics

All terrain and hoodoos are now displacements.

-lowered some terrain outside red first spawn to make dropdown to A more noticeable
-hid the balcony route in blu spawn to avoid people thinking its an exit
-A to B choke blu flank is a large tunnel wide ramp rather than small switchback

Quick fix for some stuff I missed in x3

-lit up the dark spots at C
-removed confusing arrow signs at red forward
-removed duplicate invisible brush in front of red forward
-widened chandelier fins for easier sentry placement
