Fixed an issue where lights, a grate, and a fan sound weren't packed into the map fully.

My b.

Fixed an issue where one texture wasn't packed.

I am so incredibly sorry for the update spam, I have to pack everything by hand and miss a couple things.

See title. There were a couple things missing.

Added a new rocket silo area.

• There are two hallways connecting the silo to other rooms, those being in the Lightning Gun room, and the bottom Fan room.
• It has two accessible stories, with the top story containing...

Added the Railgun.

• It's about damn time. I just needed to find the right place for it.
• Lights just outside of the silo are turned on and off depending on whether or not the Railgun is available for pickup.

Increased the height of the Lightning Gun room.

• Done mainly to make it feel less cramped.

Added soundscapes to the map.

• Primarily leaning on Half Life's iconic ambient sounds, the map is no longer deafeningly silent. Frag on to 90's sound design!

Reduced the loudness of the elevator sounds.

• For some reason, I had it set to be heard from halfway across the map. That should be fixed now.

Adjusted the sunspread angle.

Other changes I probably forgot. (Mainly just minor clipping changes, prop swaps, and optimization changes.)

Actually fixed packing.

• For some reason, CompilePal does not like my map and managed to compile it to the wrong directory. I don't know how. This was fixed by packing everything by hand.

Again, sorry for the update spam.

Optimized the map in various ways.

• This includes using hint brushes, increasing the luxel scale in a troublesome spot, and adding area portals.

Applied a more efficient form of compression.

• This just means that the initial download is smaller, now not even crossing10MB.
• No, I don't know why it was more before. Yes, everything should be packed. If anything, it's overpacked.

A few other non noteworthy changes:

• Small lighting adjustments, texture realignments, ect.

Sorry for the double ping, this is the last one for this.

See title and previous patch.

Changes in this update:

Complete overhaul of lighting:

• Inspired by the colored lighting of Gold Source, Snarkpit can get the lighting it deserves.

Closed up a majority of the walkoff next to the ammo room:

• This was done to lessen the domination that the high ground could give.
• This area has also been detailed as well.
• There are also two walkoff hatches you can take to get down.

Redid the crate cover in the ammo room:

• Now it is a multitude of small crates and not one huge crate.

Caved in the floor next to the fan-pad:

• An ammo pack has been added as a consequence of this cave-in.

Added a unique teleport effect for when you use a slipgate:

Continued some alpha detailing:

Fixed an issue where the pickups with timers that aren't the default (Crit powerup and Rocket Launchers), would not have their lights and sounds be in-sync with their respawn times:

Added more lore to the map:

Rumor has it:

• The map download is compressed, meaning that after you play it once, the map size will increase. (For those wondering, it goes from 15MB to 35MB. Main reason: custom assets.)
• To push this update out, I had to reinstall Open Fortress and Hammer++ to fix a problem that had been in effect since a2 (Yes, really.)

Extended the newly added hallway:

• This extension of the hallway also adds the Dynamite as a weapon.

Changed the map's lighting:

• Adjusted the sun's angle.
• Changed the ambient light color.
• Changed the skybox.

Continued basic detailing:

• Mainly just a few texture changes and making the dirt floor a displacement.
