Penthouse - The other CTF-CP hybrid nobody asked for!

Latest entry in my continuing saga of CTF improvement, cap the point in the center of this rooftop courtyard to open a gate to your enemy's intelligence. The gate will be replaced with something cooler later.

Also, if anyone knows how to fix the cap point's HUD, I will love you forever.

It actually looks like an interesting concept IMO.

Hey, folks. Thanks to my dedication to entering and losing this recent slew of contests, I have been working on lots of things that aren't ctf_penthouse. Well those things are over now, so I'm back, babies! I know it's been over a month, but I have a lot of things planned, including a HUD improvement and some layout changes.

Also, here's the napkin I wrote on when I got the original map idea while thousands of feet over the midwest

After two months in development, hopefully it's been worth the wait.

Here's what's new:

-HUD 2.0 is here, now showing how many intels each team has captured! Many thanks to Yrr for extensive help with making custom icons, and to Ym for the original idea to use cp's to represent points!
-Can't make engineer buildings in the laser corridors now
-Mid now includes drop downs to lower level. Layout of lower level changed to make travel time longer.
-Air conditioning units removed from mid
-Sliding glass doors and round sofas added to lobbies. Pianos removed.

It's 5c because I am really bad at figuring out how icons and packing work and I was too lazy to recompile. Lemme know if stuff's missing.

It was tempting to wait a few days until it was exactly FIVE WHOLE MONTHS since A5c, but here it is anyway!

Here's what's new for A6:
-Safety doors put on laser tunnel, which will hopefully reduce accidental decapitations by at least 20%.
-When a team owns mid, the other team gets decreased respawn times.
-Most light entities replaced with light_spot entities.
-The "pile of ramps" is now a single ramp. Also the AC unit sorta came back.
-The mission briefing and gamemode goals now should mention the control point. If anyone reads them.
-Various possibly confusing signs removed
-Minor changes to elevators, spawn doors, roofs, one way exit triggers, mid textures, and the stairwell in the abandoned section.
-Pics for clics:
