Welcome to beta! These changelogs are really low effort but the map has gone through many more changes. Also the map has been massively optimized.

Middle:
  • Improved clipping on solar panels
Second
  • Alot
  • Staircases to spire chaged
  • Detailing
  • Much easier to sack in second (hopefully)
  • Catwalk closed off
  • Main raised to help attackers into second out of last
Last
  • Point centralised
  • More detailing

Refinements and detailing
Most of this update is fixing issues that people had with b3a and adding in some extra stuff. I am Looking for feedback on the transition area from choke to second.


Detailing

· Added a dome to the map, may be disorientating/unpleasant but would like feedback on the theme.

· Changed sun

· Lighting improvements

Spawns

· Last spawns moved more to the right to help rolling out right side

· Middle forward spawns moved backwards to stop accidental opening of the door.

·

Middle

· Capture zone extends below the point

· Mini health pack on perch’s

· Shack and barrels have been moved to decrease the power of sightlines from the new room on middle.

Second

· Given attackers into second from quake room high ground

Last

· Flank side improved for holding

· Improved detailing

· Added catwalk on the wall above under

· Added window to lower

· Added high ground behind the point

· Increased height of wall flank side

· Added a platform on combo side

Middle Flank

· Added an open window that players can use to enter the new room. (Intended to help players to stop flanks)

· New raised platform for detailing/gameplay detailing.

Choke

· New raised platform intended to help pushes through choke, whether pushing into second or middle.

Quake Room

· Decreased the amount of doors into second to 2

· Made traversing the room easier

· Doors are larger to stop meds getting forced

·

Catwalk

· Added Jump pad modelled, animated, and textured by /dev/zero

· Moved health pack

Window Room

· Added second floor for detailing purposes, makes the room slightly (very slightly) more choke-ish

Hey man, great map you've made so far! I wish I was able to play test in PUGs, but NA players have too small of a brain to learn a new map ;P. Anyways, I've found a few SMALL things that could be polished from roaming around the map on my own.

In no particular order:

1) There's a small ledge a solly or demo can jump up to on 2nd

2.1) You can stand on the lights on the wall in the room between last lobby and 2nd point

https://i.imgur.com/rnHvYMb.jpg


2.2) You can stand and walk on a small ledge at the top of the slanted windows in the same room

https://i.imgur.com/vYv5KTY.jpg


2.3) There's a small gap in the windows (literally unplayable)

https://i.imgur.com/JiDajKV.jpg


3) Most of the decorative doors could be clipped to be flush with the walls

https://i.imgur.com/vIZvab0.jpg
https://i.imgur.com/IxkfN8o.jpg


4) Clipping on a door from mid to "2nd lobby" isn't complete. (Not flush on one side, and missing on the other side)

https://i.imgur.com/4tbEYK8.jpg
https://i.imgur.com/MwTsts1.jpg


5) Maybe remove the hitboxes from these lights in last lobby? (Did a really good job on removing all the other lights hitboxes tho c: )

https://i.imgur.com/dD2Foxd.jpg


6) Maybe add a small slanted clip over the displacement at mid to make it more predictable (Maybe, idk. Probably just being picky here)

https://i.imgur.com/crHeKrc.jpg


7) You can shoot through these shards on last (literally unplayable)

https://i.imgur.com/gIN0i4C.jpg


8) I think this room should be darkened b/c it is not accessible, but looks like it could be

https://i.imgur.com/IxkfN8o.jpg


8) Lastly, I think a lot of the glass should be made darker to indicate its not a playable area and make it clearer there’s a wall there. Maybe its just my game settings, but it can be hard to tell sometimes if there is glass/ where the glass starts/stops.


Thanks for giving this a read, hopefully it was somewhat helpful. Like I said, they were small things. Really great map!

Cool Theme. There definitely needs to be something going on in that big flat area on mid. I see how you put both high grounds on far sides to keep sight lines low. You can something similar in the middle by putting a wall in front of some high ground in the middle.
