Hello, this post brought to you by 14bit again
  • Red team no longer immediately respawns when the cart reaches the A door
  • The door above B now opens when A is capped (again)
  • Slight cover changes around A
  • Clipping fixes
  • Detailing fixes/changes
  • Added WIP signs around final
Hello, 14bit here! I finally snapped and made layout changes in addition to detailing. abp and I are split on the changes to Blu's spawn exits, so we've left them be for now to test them along with the other layout changes.
  • Train bells now play when cart doors are opening
  • Significant reworks to the A->B area
    • Shifted the whole map past A point 256 units south to break sightlines through to B
    • This also gives lots more room for Gameplay™ to happen and should make B more fun
    • Made the river route more obvious for Red on A
  • Changes at final
    • Reworked the route for Blu to get up to Red's balcony at final to be more obvious and require less jumps
    • Rearranged the wooden stairs in the pit
    • Changes to cover
  • Changes to spawn behavior
    • Red team now immediately respawns when the cart reaches the A door
    • Red team no longer immediately respawns when B is capped
  • Added a no entry hologram to B's upper door on Red's side that disables when the door opens
  • Nobuilded a few fun, but annoying spot sentry spots really high above gameplay space
    • Notably around final and Blu spawn
  • Fixed missing patches under pickups
  • Clipping fixes
  • More detailing
  • Removed a few custom assets, replacing them with stock equivalents
  • Basic bot support
    • tf_point_nav_interface stuff to let bots know how the layout changes when the doors open
    • func_nav_blocker/geo changes in the river to stop bots from trying to use it as a flank and dying repeatedly (yes, really)
    • Bots can't figure out how to get to Red's upper deck at final since it involves jumping and I can't be bothered to actually edit the navmesh to tell them they can make a specific jump the automatically generated navmesh doesn't account for
    • They also don't understand the one-way door at final so they get stuck there
    • These issues will get fixed with a proper, hand-edited nav once we get to RC
  • TF2M Feedbackround support
    • Holograms get disabled
    • Blu's forward spawn opens
