cp_nautilus a5

A5 update - Completely rebuilt the connect between B and C to create a smoother and more understandable flow for both teams:

Alpha 5.0 Changes
Layout

• Added a connecting tunnel from the main room of C to a new room just outside of B
• Added connecting room between B and C which replaced the Upper/Mid rooms after B
• Increased B's area of conflict
• Removed the awkward ramp that went to a lower level of C
• Moved all of C up at least one floor so there isn't as much of a height difference from B to C
• Blocked off that little room just outside of BLU spawn
• Rebuilt C point and gave cappers / defenders a bit of cover when inside of it.

Gameplay

• Added a bunch new pickups around certain area of C

General

• Clipped a bunch of stuff
• Added a door in BLU spawn to prevent taking too much damage from snipers
• Added more signage
• Fixed RED being able to enter BLU spawn
• Fixed all visualisers
• Neatened up the stairs in RED spawn

Known Issues

• in alpha 6 i'm going to potentially rebuild the lower path to A. I wanted to do it for this update but felt a little burnt out (would also like to playtest it a little more)

A4 update - Completely rebuilt A along with the "pre A section for BLU" and updated a bunch of minor changes based on feedback

Alpha 4.0 Changes
Layout

• BLU spawn rebuilt to include setup area
• Pre A point area built, BLU should take longer getting to the point and should have a harder time reaching it
• A point made larger - raised roof and rebuilt surrounding geometry so as to feel less cramped
• Moved RED forward spawn around the corner giving RED longer to A and fixing a horrid sightline
• Added ramps out of the pit at B
• Opened up area after tunnel to guide players from A to B easier
• Setup displacements around A
• Red Team Back spawns now face direction they need to head

Gameplay

• Increase all cap times by 12 seconds (up from 5 seconds)
• Capping points now grants 3 minutes extra (up from 1:30 minutes)
• Added a bunch new pickups around certain area of A
• Added Forward spawn for BLU at B that becomes active for Point C

General

• Clipped door frames
• Oranges Crates that were causing issues have been replaced with clipped Barrels
• Added more signage
• Added more lighting
• Changed skybox (currently placeholder)
• Gave the Env_lighting a green/blue tint to give appearance of underwater

Known Issues

• C still lacks something of a "front line" for defenders. Will look into rebuilding bits of C when i have more feedback from playtests
• Skybox is wrong - it's currently a placeholder for the custom one i would like to add
• Parts of the map are still a little dark
• Still getting console errors regarding the forward spawn (they still work however)
• Respawn times haven't been changed despite feedback - want to test out the new capping time first
