Financial - A capture the flag map

I've decided to continue working on a new version of ctf_financial which I originally made for the 2022 72Hour Summer Jam, fixing the issues it had (I'm not updating the original 72h Jam download because this version has a some major changes).

Uses the London Content Pack.

Hey! Just downloaded the map and I'm afraid to say that it's nothing but errors and missing textures. Thought I'd let you know.

Call_Me_Meme updated Financial with a new update entry:

Version A3a Recompiled (should finally be packed now)

Recompiled, trying out CompilePal instead of Hammer & VIDE to see if that finally fixes the packing issue.
Should hopefully include Cubemaps as well.

Thanks to @That1Yoshi for pointing out the issue!

Call_Me_Meme updated Financial with a new update entry:

Version A3b (aka. I used the right CompilePal settings this time)

The "I finally fixed the stupid mistakes I made!" update.

Fixed the whole 'Red Team being trapped in their spawn' problem.

I had forgotten to change the drop downs in the settings for the lower Red Respawn Room, Func_RespawnroomVisualizer's and the filters for the doors.

I also realized that I had used the wrong CompilePal preset last time that didn't pack the map, and it should now finally include the cubemaps now.

Version A5 - Major Rework

I only just realized now when writing this that I skipped releasing version a4 (and I don't remember publicly testing it), though that was probably for the better. I've been working on and off this rework for the last while.

• Pedestrianized the Middle area, alongside adding a new middle structure (that's more effective at blocking the previously horrific sniper sightlines)
• Reworked 'Foyer' areas in the both teams bases, with a new, more direct path to the intel room
• Made the...

Call_Me_Meme updated Financial with a new update entry:

Version A6: A few improvements (and hopefully fewer stalemates)

• Increased the initial round timer from 5 minutes to 10 minutes (should hopefully result in less stalemates)
• Added new one-way door infront of the upper spawn exits to hopefully reduce spawncamping
• Added new exit from lower spawnroom to directly to the Subway area
• Less harsher lighting overall, especially the HDR lighting in the vents
• Reworked vents to make them less maze-like. All basement vents now connect to a central...

Version A7: Tweaks and some Despaghettification

It's been a while since the last update (thanks to a mix of uni work, life, and just not having much motivation for mapping and just needing some time to think).

Changes:

• Replaced left elevator shaft drop-down - replaced with vent shared with the "Computer Room" next to the intel room and concrete "janitor corridor"
  • removed now redundant upper walkway connecting the retired elevator...

Version A9
