• Removed packs around cliff
• Added skyboxes for optimization (still has bad fps)

A4 Update​

I made quick changes and ended up with new changes to mid that i wanted to try.

List of changes (that i remember) :​

• Removed one way doors
• Made the cabin give slight height advantage.
• Added rocks to block line of sights and funnel every route to the point.
• Adjusted height variations around the point
• Changed the mid to be closer to the viaduct formula
• Fixed a shack not being mirrored correctly
• Made a healthpack in an unused area more noticeable
• Lowered water
• Added skybox brush that I hope will not get in the way of soldiers and that I hope will give +2 fps
• Adjusted wall cover on the point
• Changed the hill next to the point to be less shitty
• Made the balcony accessible from mid

Also I made a video after the playtest.

After making a video on what to change about this map a while back, I decided to finally go around and... make the changes.

• Changed access to balcony
• Added a new route that leads to a wooden shack that has a one way exit onto the point
• Changed some angles
• Inevitably added obviously nasty sightlines
• Made the walls on the point too high to shoot over as heavy
• Removed the loop around the point
• Shifted spawn to hope to encourage
• Simplified brushwork around displacements for better visleaves

These changes were made with goals in mind :

• Make defense easier (stop getting mobbed)
• Make attacking seem less scary
• Make sniping not rely on abusing weird sightlines
• Give a cozy forward spot for attackers

I made changes before the retest. The changes have been altered with the feedback.
I think it should be common sense to not use condenscending tones when feedbacking thx.

• Widened mid
• Made some areas larger and longer
• Shortened spawn
• Obsolete
• Made the awkward building next to the point an open area with a death pit, and made route changes related to it.
• Made the original death pit look better and brighter
• Globally shortened spawn times

The map wasn't playable due to an oversight on my end (lack of testing).

• Made so red can get out of their spawn.
• Added some lights / brightened some lights for better lit rooms
• Made so the capture zone is visible (orange dev texture)
