This map looks amazing, I really like the theming!

I was just wondering how did you get the snow effects in gameplay like in the first picture, and also how to you get the clean overview shot of the map with the black borders?

Thanks man! The snow effects are a particle effect, from either snowycoast or coldfront... they're really pretty!

how to you get the clean overview shot of the map with the black borders?

I'm not entirely sure what this means, unless you mean having HUD on? cl_drawhud 0 turns off the hud and then cl_leveloverview and for this map I went with size 5

Fourth public version before its first public playtest hehe :)

- Moved red forward spawn from white shed behind first to flank building near second
- Moved fence on docks to block REALLY LONG sniper sightline (though it wasn't too powerful)
- Fixed issue where cart would retrigger a speed modifier making it completely unpushable for the rest of the round
- Adjusted pick ups around first to make the hut less crowded
- Moved cover around on second
- Added sniper window and shifted wall to back window in second cap flank
- Adjusted a LOT of cover and platforms around for a better defence
- Added a second staircase to the back of last into upper
- Slight detailing changes for scene setting across the map, nothing too drastic

KNOWN ISSUE: There is a missing texture out of bounds near last, it's fine, it doesn't affect any gameplay and will be fixed in A4

First playtest went SUPER well, super happy with how it played

- Windows to docks now visible both ways
- Widened stairwell in right flank into first
- Added a few small health kits in common attack grouping locations
- Raised sign at B to better allow for sentry destruction
- Removed 2 fences, one near A and the other between A and B, to open up some additional angles
- Removed original door into veggie room, instead connects via spiral staircase and thus prevents nasty sighline out back into B
- Removed crate jump in veggie room, once again a staircase
- The open balcony from left upper flank into last has been walled over again
- 2 windows in last have been boarded up to hide some information from defenders below
- Fixed 2 nodraw issues

- Adjusted doorways in blu first spawn, added catwalk to bypass first doorway
- Opened gate to A, testing a version where the cart doesn't need to stop and open the door
- Revamped last, pushing red spawn further back into the corner, opening up many angles, and rerouting attacker's initial highground around to the left.

- Clipped rocks on second to prevent weird falling bug
- Adjusted snow texture on roofs to be the less shiny texture
- Added new cubby to A
- Shifted A cap forward 500 or so units
- Re-enabled the A dock door, it allows blue to retake the docks and regroup before pushing into Town
- Adjusted clipping around doorways across the map for easier traversal
- Moved last one-way to the right, preventing door peaking from snipers
- Moved red spawn points to the lower door while defending second, should save a second or so travel time and in a better location to push out
- Opened up crate gap in blue spawn... what could be behind?
- Closed highground for attackers on last, reopened left window
- Changed right flank into defenders highground on last, now has staircase down to final instead. Highground has a drop down window into the room
