shorelight rc9

whats new?

• various visual upgrades
• re-did beam-work across the entire map!
  - previous support structures looked unrealistic inconsistent and noisy, the new beams follow a consistent pattern I've used in other maps, are less noisy and more robust.
• new beam textures on the blue side
• improved radial fog support
• made doorways bigger in some areas
• replaced all soundscapes on the map with soundscape proxies for more efficient entity usage
• improved indoor lighting
• raised all pickups by 16hu, so they're easier to spot and consistent with newer maps of mine
• re-aligned the sun, again.
• minor changes

thanks to all the playtesters!

whats new?

• added nets in the ocean to mark the end of the map better
• added puddle of water in the trench route
  -this will break falls from jumping and make the are feel more wet
• added color correction
• removed rotating skybox clouds
  
  
• edited ocean water texture to include $nofog
• edited skybox water texture to include $forcecheap
• the above 2 changes were made to address skybox seams for real this time! This time the issue was addressed to implement a more resource efficient method over the previous one, there may be seam issues again, but this should not only help making the map run faster, but also look better!
• adjusted fog to be more reasonable.
