PASS pass_plexiglass a9

[Shears]

Shears submitted a new resource:

pass_plexiglass - 4v4 Passtime map.

Unlike other 4v4 Passtime maps, Plexiglass has a large clear wall in the center, and 4 ball spawners instead of two. It is significantly wider than average, encouraging curving, side-to-size jump strings that make good use of the mega surf ramps at either edge. The map rewards strong positioning, rocket jumping, trimping, and gamesense.

Shears updated pass_plexiglass with a new update entry:

pass_plexiglass_a2

CHANGELOG:

Shears updated pass_plexiglass with a new update entry:

pass_plexiglass_a6

------------a6 release---------------
CHANGELOG:

-Nerfed medic jump pad trajectory and cooldown time (from 4 to 6 seconds per pad) to prevent infinite chaining between pads and reduce offensive power somewhat. With very precise movement it is still barely possible to chain two together from a certain angle.

-Fixed inconsistent goal behavior (ty Kaden)

-Fixed slight misalignment that could lead to players bonking their head where the high side walls meet the skybok (ty Russian)

-Improved goal geometry

-Added more ammo on the ground towards the corners

-Added rudimentary hurtbox at the very top of the map
