Harboreal - Payload version of CoD1's harbor

Hello,

INTRO
This map is a payload version of the original Harbor map from Call of Duty. The general buildings are in the same spots but there is many many changes to make it fit tf2's and payload's gameplay. On the original map part, there is way more secondary path and verticality. I also added a building in the top of the map (where the last point is).

LORE
While I don't have the model and I haven't done the detailing, I imagined the lore to be something like the Thing (John Carpenter)...

FEEDBACK for the test of the a4 on the 08/09/2022
First of all, thank you guys for testing the map
1 - The main feedback that I got was the lack of focus given to players. There has been a lot of fight in the tree hangar where I though only backdooring classes would go until the cart arrived there.
-> To solves this, I think blocking blue access to the last hangar until the last point. To do that, the blue entrance and the bottom entrance would only open at the third point (right at the entrance). The other two will be given one-way door, this should reduce spawn camping from that side while still allowing escapes.
In the same direction, I think closing the bottom garage (below the metal structure in front of blue spawn) would be great, at least until the second point is capped (at the dock near red spawn). Almost no fights happened there so this should no be a huge issue.
Some billboard with the arrows pointing at the current point should be added.
2 - The cart can block people
-> I need to find how to stop people from getting stuck in the cart. Also, some doors where the cart passes need to be slightly enlarged so people can go around the cart even when its in the doorway.
3 - Blue spawn door not opening
-> I messed up in making them and they only unlock on start, you need to go in the trigger again. I will fix this
4 - Blue spawn too big
-> I don't think this mostly compounding on the focus problem, but I'll look into it.

If I missed something, please feel free to remind me.

version a8 - Changes from tests

Changelog
MAP :
-> Overall height of floors has been reduced, making building less tall.
This is a feedback from play tests. This should reduce power class dominating some area too easily and make movement around the map easier for scouts. The overall layout is unaffected by those changes.
-> Remove "truck area" as well as entrances connected to it. replaced it with a non-accessible building with props and entrances to give BLUs cover in the alley.
The idea was to channel blu on...
