INTRODUCTION
"Refresh:" is a series aimed at making maps more suitable for 6v6 and other gamemodes. We took the opportunity to use our experience to fix the issues with map geometry as well as minor aesthetic and performance improvements. We humbly invite you to try out these changes and offer your feedback, so that together we are able to increase the quality of the competitive map pool.
SUMMARY
Warmtic has been around a while in Highlander but we noticed it was getting quite low reviews from players in ETF2L's last poll. Most changes you'll see here aim to only improve gameplay, not change. All perch spots have been kept in, besides those above the spawn doors.
CHANGES
Show Content
Lighting:
•
HDR has been lowered slightly.
• Removed unnessarcy lighting left over from koth_arctic.
Optimization:
• Slightly better FPS (maybe lighting entities left over from koth_arctic have been removed,
these are necessary anymore because the map isn't at night)
Detailing:
• Given props that need it prop fade.
• Improved when props fade out.
Clipping:
• Most props/brushes that created movement issues have either been deleted, clipped or
had their collisions disabled. (Perches have stayed, however perches above the spawn doors have been clipped off.)
• All stairs have been given blockbullets
Mid:
• Gaps on side of the point have been filled with concrete.
• Little pole like object that sticks out on the ramp to the point
has been removed and the ramp has been extended to the shipping crate.
• Wooden platform connecting shipping crate to balc has been smoothed and clipped.
• Lower has been clipped, lights have had their clipping removed.
• Clipped ceiling in side rooms.
• Fixed texture bugs
• Removed broken window
Dropdown:
