Aarmastah submitted a new resource:

Hightower Snowy - A winter-themed reskin of Hightower for Smissmas

This is a winter-themed reskin of plr_hightower (technically plr_hightower_event due to its additional features I borrowed) for Smissmas, featuring the Snowman bombs from Coal Pit. Name is very much non-final and subject to change. Feedback much appreciated!

Hi, thank you for your map! I found some minor visual issues on your map, here's a little video about it. Make sure you have subtitles turned on, just in case.

Hi, thank you for your map! I found some minor visual issues on your map, here's a little video about it. Make sure you have subtitles turned on, just in case.

Thanks for the feedback, it's much appreciated! The clipping on the big pine tree under the tower is intentional; it's to prevent players from hiding in it. The triggers on the other trees are nobuild.

I'm putting together another compile to fix the issues you mentioned in the video. Thanks again for pointing them out!!
