Everything he knows about lighting he learned from me!

Well, congratulations to both of you. I know you said before lighting was your weak point, Crash, so it's cool to see that you're getting better! :)

After watching that video I was wondering might it be a good idea to compile a version of the map for comp players with the calls for different areas overlayed in those places kinda like those Level Overviews people made for CSGO like:
7C3D5A561010CE70989F59A57D3E14A16C8731BD


Like maybe not so huge over the floor, maybe idk. Just heard plenty of miscommunication because people seem to take to long to figure out what to call a location out as.

My understanding is that a lot of the calls end up being created by the teams over time. It's not something I'd want to force on them. A few areas have already gotten named from what I've gathered. Garden, garage, sewers/ basement, lower lobby, upper lobby, mine.

It's been fun getting to hear what they take out of it, and it's helped push me to define each areas detailing in order to help them come up with a call for it. Maybe if it gets a bit more widely adopted I could end up doing something like that with what they use, though.

I wasn't saying to make your own up over already named areas but I heard people pause over what to call the mid-2nd mine/tunnel flank, what name do you use for that and not use for the lower tunnel from outside 2nd to last for instance. Anyway, it's just a thought after watching most of the PUGs you've put up

Oh yeah, I didn't mean renaming already defined things either, it's just that I don't want to try to get them to call it one thing when it'd be more efficient/ make more sense to them with another name. A lot of maps share names. "Sneaky" is a call I hear a lot of maps have for a particularly sneaky route.

I'd rather let the comp nerds do their thing and see where it ends up.

B8 is out, links in OP.
All new screenshots (except for overview, which didn't change much) in OP as well.

Beta 8
3d Skybox! Woo!
Added some minor sneaky trick jumps/ paths
Fixed some symmetry issues
Cleaned up some cubemap problems
Optimized visleafs/ fixed accidental world brushes
Fixed missing clipping/ added to clipping
Cleaned up a ton bunch of details
Toned down color correction
Tried a bit to give the map a more overall cohesive feel detailing-wise.
Implemented a bunch of minor changes based on feedback from Bloodhound. Thanks, bro.
Bunch of minor adjustments, I dunno.

This is most likely the last version before RC1, so if you have any feedback, get it to me soon!

That detail area in BLU's yard just doesn't meet up with the ground and it irks me for some reason.

Not sure where you're talking about.

Not sure if you can see it too well from here but here's a pretty bad screenshot of it:

It's minor, but the ground there doesn't seem like it goes up to where the concrete is.
