bagels back baby
beginning a new pass of polish and detail, to replace a lot of placeholder or otherwise kind of ugly bits
this map will continue to be polished
B4's focus: Mid prop
-new mid prop
--liquid australium battery, returning to the original concept
-turbines replacing what was previously dead space and awkward prop stacks
--these fix a sightline allowing me to delete some crates that previously did this job
--the rotors will spin and they will fill with australium from the point as each team earns cap time. when one team wins, the losing team's turbine will empty its progress
in the future these will vent gold steam, have audio, and have pipes connecting them and pumping the australium back into each team's base

-Aggressive clipping pass and decluttering
Hopefully there should be no places left to get stuck or have rockets eaten
Visuals are not done for this, so its b5a not b6

-Massive clipping and decluttering pass
-Replaced a bunch of placeholder crates with closer to final crates
-Switched a few blockbullets clips over to invisible displacements. This was done for backend reasons but additionally it functions like a blockbullets brush that only affects explosives, so bullets will no longer disappear in those spots.
-Adjusted fade distances on a lot of props to make them less jarring
-Improved lighting on blu concrete
-Minor detail adjustments

The clipping above the turbines was poorly conveyed and intrusive to jumping soldiers. It has been pared back and marked better.
-Improved clipping around top of turbines
-Added pipe to better visualise clipping

While the map itself is good, it is too small to fit into a 6's playstyle. Especially the mid section lacks places to properly position yourself imo.
As a soldier you can only really play battlements and hut, the latter one hidden behind a wall so that you can't even spam the enemy team.
Overall the map fits more into a 4's situation due to not everyone being crowded at mid.
Still, neat map design

my apologies i thought this is how competitive players talk to each other
i do not work for ETF2L and this map finished competitive testing 2 years ago, I'm not sure what y'all are directing this at me for
eh I'm not super interested in making a map for competitive at this point lol, it takes a couple years of development time to find out if your map just doesn't work and thats time i dont wanna spend any more
the halloween version of this map played well in casual 24-player so i switched tracks to just making it look good and work for casual play and trying not to break anything for those who might try to play it competitively again some day
but alas the experience of making a map is that years later people message you asking why you dared enter your map in their league (i didnt) and asking for massive sweeping changes you cant really make any more (and this is not the only map of mine that's happened to)

This was going to just be a Jump Pad visual update but a major splash clipping issue was discovered that required overhauling a lot of the existing splash clipping. (If you were wondering, Invisible Displacements are solid to players, grenades, and stickies, but not rockets).
-Jump pad visual update, including new particles. (Thanks pont for the rumble)
-Some minor visual and lighting updates
-Collision meshes created to replace old splash clipping on complex shapes.
-Minor geo change in house to make splash more consistent
