August 16, 2016 Patch
- Adjusted the height of the ceiling in the room behind the second control point.
- Added some slight visual detail to various concrete rooms throughout (team color stripe).
- Adjusted the height and width of various doors throughout the level. Mostly focused on primary paths into combat areas, with an eye towards standardizing door sizes where possible.
- Fixed an angled playerclip brush above 2nd control point that players could surf on (thanks Photon).
- Adjusted height of 'tank' in L room behind 2nd control point.
- Moved two tall spotlights back into a clipping brush at mid to avoid very small collision issue (thanks Bilbert).
- Adjusted some clipping issues by turning rooftop brushes into displacements/func_brushes throughout the map and disabling collision (thanks Bilbert).
- Clipped off some glass windows at 2nd.
- Added crate to cargo containers at mid, allowing Scouts to get onto the highest cargo container.
- Added props to the clipping ramp around the final control point to indicate collision.
- Replaced brush fence on the platform in alley with a metal prop to solve an asymmetrical shadow bug (thanks Bilbert).
