Finally the stuff that was planned for improving workshop, are live!

Future way of packing nav files into bsp and getting them to work properly with workshop + elsewhere

I reported a bug to Valve about workshop maps not getting their nav files loaded, when the map file is used directly on a gameserver by loading it through workshop or when a player loads the map up with "map workshop/mapworkshopIDhere". So that the players should not need to copy it from the...

Mappers: Can this be used to get custom models for entities that normally don't have a parameter for it, or under circumstances where the game would override them? I'm specifically wondering about pumpkin bombs (including gibs) and health pickups.

Yes, you can now pretty much replace the model of any entity that has a model now! From what I understand, this was added primarily to allow mappers to set the models of Halloween bosses, since Valve was having trouble with plr_hacksaw_event's custom HHH replacement failing to work during their compiles, due to the hacky way the map was replacing it. This makes it so you can just fire an input to change it.

For pumpkin bombs, we've already got tf_generic_bomb, which is a pumpkin bomb we can change the model/particle on, though this new input should work on normal pumpkin bombs as well. The example use of SetModel provided in the tf.fgd in the game files shows how to replace an ammo pickups' model, so I assume it'll be the same for health kits!

SetModel doesn't work on Engineer buildings, while addoutput modelindex does.

I seem to recall looking into that when it came out and discovering they don't automatically respawn like the real ones do, so you have to resort to all kinds of scripting nonsense to kinda-sorta-but-still-not-quite recreate the behavior.
