Overview of changes

• Redid spawns completely.
• Halved all of the spawn times as a "that'll do" fix. I'll do it properlike next version if need be.
• Made medium changes to A.
• Small changes to around B.
• Remade pretty much everything after B.

Specific changes

Map-wide

• Added white planks around the door frames.
• Redid the wooden boards/walls to be more consistent and to look better.
• Added cubemaps.

Before A

• Added some very minor detailing.
• Added a new elevated exit that looks onto the slope leading up to A.
• Changed Blu's first spawn so that there's a ramp up to it. Subsequently Blu now has a small high ground when coming out of spawn.

Around A

• Altered the building where Red's old first spawn was is now a powerful sentry spot/high ground above A point. Still kept the one-way door though, as I feel it should make the area more interesting. Got a wee bit of detailing in the upstairs bit too.
• Altered the larger part of the building where Blu's weird old forward spawn is so it's now out of bounds for the most part. However, I have added a new side route that goes through it onto A point.
• Altered the smaller part of the building where Blu's weird old forward spawn so it's now a room with a masher. Over this masher is a plank of wood with a small health kit on it. Precariously near the point, I might add.
• Added lighting underneath the alcove that the building that Red's old first spawn has.
• Added a pillar in the middle of the lower part of the building that used to be Blu's old spawn.
• Removed the stairs up to Blu's old spawn.
• Removed the small health on the purple plank that goes onto A.

After A/Before B

• Added a wooden board before the entrance to the route that goes onto A point.
• Added a prop jump up to the ledge that has the two routes that lead up to the point.
• Added some big industrial windows that would look into Blu's old forward spawn (if it still existed).
• Added some lighting underneath the underpass that leads to B.
• Added a small, bold and brash purple plank.

Around B

• Added Blu's new forward spawn. It's built into a pre-existing building that's just about big enough.
• Added lighting underneath the walkway.
• Removed an old slope that led to nothing (that I thought would be used as a decloaking space for spies). It's been replaced with a low building that has barbed wire on its roof to stop people from thinking you can jump up there.
• Removed a box near the underpass to C.

After B/Before C

• Removed Everything onwards from this point.
• Added Red's first spawn.
• Added a freight container with a prop jump to the top of it. On the said container, there is a small health kit.
• Added a small shed building with a roof you can get on.
• Altered the scaffolding/walkway on the other side of the underpass that goes towards C so it's wider and has more cover from potential sightlines.
• Added some signs that direct Red where to go that will disappear once B is capped
• Added a building that acts as the entrance to the main paths through to C. It has some nice dormer windows; the angled dormer windows were very fiddly to make but look good I'd say.
• Added a route underneath C point that opens only when B is capped, I did this because it would be enticing to Red players coming out of Red's first spawn if it was able to be accessed at first.

Around C

• Added cover on the edge of the point so that you can't immediately shoot at attackers coming out of an exit.
• Added a decloaking spot for spies underneath an alcove.
• Added a small route that goes underneath Red's spawn. Should allow for easier movement in that area for the defenders, at the cost of being in a very tight area if they are caught.
• Added an area that I expect to be a good sentry spot.
• Added a prop jump up to said spot.
• Added a freight truck for a bit of cover for said spot.
• Added some wooden boards around the higher spawn exit to give defenders some breathing room.

Other

• Added a big "Red Bread" decal to a wall out of bounds.
• Added a copy of those industrial windows to an out of bounds building.
• Removed a conveyor that went over the train tracks. (Will probably re-add, but I wanted to get this out the door)

Cool things

• I really like the way I've done the spawns that change throughout the round: I've made a nonsolid, fake door with the no entry sign texture that is in exactly the same place as the actual door brush entity. I disable it/enable it when need be. I also have signs above the doors which are dynamic props which I can enable and disable.
  
• There is a bunch of barrels you can jump off as the Scout to get onto C quickly.

Plans

• I plan to add a new, map-wide detail every version. Such as struts in the ceilings or lamps or telephone poles or something.

This was a huge ass update. I don't know if I'll be able to work on this map for a while but we'll see. I hope it plays well is all.
