b1 changelog:

- artpass
- added missing tag to wave 4 giant KGB heavies - they should no longer try to path through areas without enough clearance
- attempted to fix bots getting stuck in a corner against the train and ignoring nav_avoids:
-- added nav_prefers to the shortcut doors that open beside these corners
-- added push triggers to forcefully dislodge stuck bots
- added kill trigger at back of map in case the train pushes bots or players through the clipping
- reduced cash dropped through wave 5
- fixed an issue where giants climbing up the catwalks would hit their head on the gantry
- fixed wave 5 boss soldier's taunting lines being triggered by BLU team deaths

ouhghgh wanting early beta for a contest like this isn't a great decision imo

add triggerhurt with 0 damage and zero damage force and parent it on a train that moves. it will pickup the money automaticaly when train appears and goes over money. because right now you may miss the money only bcuz bot died and train blocked the money

fastener came first in guardian dynamica! for a first try at mvm,wow, that went pretty well.

moving forward, i hope to continue fixing nav issues, add support for engineer robots, and to write a few more missions of varying difficulty. with the contest out of the way, i look forward to the freedom of experimenting a bit with what's possible.

I tried to run the map on a listen server but I didn't know how to get it working. Theme is really neat, and it looks pretty darn good too!
