Are things actually getting (B)etter?

-fixed some areaportal issues
-small lighting tweaks
-made the walls on the point thinner
-made the planks near the point thinner
-fixed a bug where you could walk on top of the sawblade without dying

Now that it looks like most fps issues have been resolved, it feels likethe map may be nearing it's final stages before rc1. Fingers crossed.

It's (B)een way too long...

Finally, it is here.

It's been so long I barely remember what I changed since then. All I know is I'm still trying to improve fps performance and it's not getting better and I'm only starting to care less. I think at this point it's just the map's flawed format that isn't optimal for good fps as a consequence of my substandard map making habilities. Whatever, let's just see how it goes.

Besides fixing that, this update only includes minor lighting and clipping ajustments thanks to recent feedback. Let's do it right this time.
