hacksaw b3​

• Fixed perch spots above wooden doorways and metal roofs
• Finale siren can be heard from a much greater distance
• Fixed missing fog and soundscape transition in barn windows

• Removed red buildings from the 3dsky for being too distracting
• Moved wooden planks that were covering gameplay signs
• Moved the CP holograms to make it more obvious that the computer is the objective
• More detail adjustments

Hacksaw B2​

• Raised respawn times (from wave time 3 to wave time 6) so that defenders aren't as overwhelmed
• Lessened the time it takes to cap (slower than Alpha 6a, faster than B1)
• Fixed some stuck spots behind trees
• Fixed perch spots
• Repositioned glowing signs to be larger and more readable

• Fixed missing clipping on lots of beams
• Added more spec cams around the map, being two for each team, and a neutral one at the finale

• Disabled collision around various window frames to make them easier to jump in and out of
• Adjusted height of middle platform so you won't take fall damage when walking off
• Added a sheet of metal you can surf when walking off the sniping balcony to avoid fall damage (you could already avoid it if you were careful but this adds another avenue)

• Fixed incorrect control point names
• Updated the 3dsky
  • Mountains are higher resolution and use a rockier texture
  • Added distant mountains that cover the skybox seam

• Fixed up some spots of detailing
• Fixed offset spotlight entities
• Added howling wind sounds and particles to the cliff
• Temporarily replaced the rocket with a model that should be less buggy

Hotfix to b1 to fix missing sky (you should delete your existing b1 version if you have downloaded it)

• Detailed the map (final custom assets to come in RC)
• Optimized the map
• Added Soundscapes
• Added a welcome cam
• Adjusted resupply locations for ease of access and readability
• Receeded a cliff to prevent a stuckspot
• Adjusted little bits of the layout here and there, mainly around stairs to provide for more breathing room
• Made final push slightly slower and re-implemented visual and audio effects
• Fixed various clipping around the map
• Returned the cart to a level 1 dispenser instead of level 2

• Added fallback material for the rocket model for players on FPS configs
• Fixed gutters that players could stand on
• Fixed collisions on railings next to the rocket
• Adjusted some fog transitions
• Lightened up some sniper windows

• Fences no longer push you into the death pit
• Cliff faces around the map will push you more consistently
• The saws no longer insta kill, but instead deal rapid high damage
  • This gives players a moment to correct their mistake, and not be as badly punished for being too close to the cart when it's taking a turn, while still having the funny highlight of being caught off guard
  • The cart now gibs you, which will zoom out your screen and show you that the cart killed you better
• Tweaked fog and lighting
• Changed upper battlements ammo to medium

• Fixed blue payload triggering a red victory
  
• Fixed some visible prop fades

• Updated mid, cliff, and finale
  • Extended each team's building out to have a new hut
    • This hut blocks sightlines, serves as a harder area to push the cart through, and repurposes some of the combat flow
      
      
      
      
  • The cliff now has a small ammo kit on each team's slope
    
  • Changed the cart to go down to the cliff and loop back up to your team's side with a rollback, and then finally cross back over near the enemy team's battlements at the very end
    
    
  • There is no more elevator, its now just a normal PLR finale for the time being
    • The cart will need to be held at the saw for an extended period of time like a capture point
      
  • Added a doorway with a wooden platform accessible from the finale that allows you to shoot down toward the cliff
    
    
  • The jump pad has been removed (sorry) and replaced with a full ammo cubby
    
  • Moved the rocket from the cliff to the finale
    
  • Removed big rock at mid, making for a much more straightforward access to the finale from mid
    
  • Overlooking windows were moved out and adjusted to be clearer and more obvious while nerfing some of their reach- they also now serve as a partial sentry nest overlooking the new finale
    
    
    
• Fixed the wrong sawblade getting bloody when killing a player
• Fixed some erroneous clipping
• Closed some decorative windows and grates to help optimization
• splattered some more bits of team coloring around
• Added tons of fades to props -especially out of bounds ones- so that they don't draw if you're on the other side of the map
• Fixed large window textures in spawn

• Tweaked lighting to bring back a bit of the saturation that the removal of the color correction took away
• Fixed trees blocking a sightline between some windows
• Fixed broken areaportal windows
• Tweaked lightmap density around the map- areas with contrasty shadows will be much higher definition (below are some examples)

• added one-way doors around the spawns similar to hightower (dont bother trying to exploit as engi with teleporters i thought of that already)

• made the payload dispenser a level 2, but also made it slower
• elevator is significantly slower
• elevator boost pad launch target is now tied directly to the cart platform, so you will always be launched high enough to reach it
• blocked the ability for people on the boost pad to shoot across the map

• clipped some little things here and there
• removed the color correction for now
• the sawblades attached to the carts are now smaller, more receeded, and louder

• removed grass that somebody thought was a spy
