yo! been talking to a lot of people about what they think should be done about last and I'm gonna be doing pretty much exactly what you're saying, sideshow:
removing double door and making it into a single door choke, slightly wider, pushing it back a tad to open space up without extending sightlines.. & actually making it so all the sightlines on shutter don't exist anymore, removing box, extending gap under fence a little. one thing that some people might not unanimously approve on is that I'm removing secret, but in my eyes and in the eyes of many others it was just a dumb spot where a sentry could be put and not much else. optimization is also going to improve as well. the teleporter bug is gone for rc8, clipping all over has been smoothed out as much as possible, and various bits of visual clutter are being removed.

there are tons of other minor changes too, like one-way spawn windows and differently oriented spawn doors ( | | instead of _ _ ) and they're all coming for rc8. test versions are being distributed locally, hmu on steam if you want one to run around in.

I am aiming for rc8 to be *essentially* final, but reserving the "_final" name for what the future may hold. could be a little brash to hope for that, but there is always a possibility that an rc9 may happen due to anything that could need fixing; although I feel like this version may be the last big update. this has been an amazing journey, don't hesitate to leave any and all feedback for me so I can fix things as much as possible before release. I'm very happy with how the map has turned out and I hope you all will be too. Cheers!

to everyone who hates these skins: you realize that some of the money used to buy the passes will be distributed to community mappers, right? it's a plus for all of us. the skins look rad.

"A portion of the sales from Campaign Passes will go towards our hardworking TF2 community mapmakers."

also the weapon balances are so much to take in, it's incredible

snowplow is official now nice way to cave in to peer pressure valve :^)

gross.

weird to think it happens like that in gully though (is it the same bug? is it different? idk) because gully is all stock/default textures. i think the sv_pure 2 thing is the same mechanism that sometimes causes the custom props to turn into wireframes...? idk much about how all of that work, wish it was fixed so ppl didn't always come complaining to me about this problem that seemingly can't be fixed

i wish i knew the mechanism that made this happen so i could put together some sort of solution to fix it in sunshine

as far as i'm aware it's a bug with the game or engine and has nothing to do with the maps *specifically*? although i could be wrong.

I'll be there, dunno if I'm good enough to play with others who show up but I'll at least be able to give/listen to feedback. Excited to play (or watch) logjam again, haven't played that map in forever.

I found the issue. It will be fixed for RC8. Apparently it's a as-of-before-now undocumented engine bug.

I have absolutely no idea why that's happening. That was in no way on purpose and if it's a glitch with the engine, it's one I've never encountered before. If anyone could clue me in to why that's happening (especially in some of those areas that should absolutely have enough space to tele through) please do. I'm going to have to try to dig around for an answer.

Sadly I can't update OP as it's not my account but here's B2:

It might not be stupendously better, and it still has flaws, but I'm expecting the map to flow better overall. Second and mid have had some pretty big (and TENTATIVE!!!) changes to them, all of which can and probably will be edited and changed in the future. Have an open mind while giving feedback. There are bound to be a few glitches and bugs this version, just calmly present them to me and I'll sort them out. Thanks!

changelog:
removed water, added a valley on second
added a bit of raised ground over second
changed area in front of left choke
various touchups on second
added stairs on last
edited multiple stairs on last from 1:1 to 2:3
changed mid a bit
opened up paths in buildings on mid

All sightlines mentioned in this thread with references to where they point (for example: the ones Mangachu posted) are and will be fixed for RC8/next version. I realize that these are not the funnest thing to play with on RC7 but rest assured they're going to be removed/fixed next update.

The only pair of those inlet clipping spots I am planning to fix are the two on choke, since sticky traps in them are pretty much invisible to players pushing in. The rest, not so much of a big deal. Market isn't as bad as you'd think, most new players to the map learn you can't get up there pretty instantaneously - even in pubs.

Remember to post pictures of any sightline/issue that has not yet been mentioned in this thread. I'm not perfect, I can't predict everything that's currently wrong with the map (although I sure am trying).

Edifice is up on the workshop, for everyone who wanted me to continue working on the map - this is a good sign for you.

Filesize optimization is definitely a good chunk of what I'm going to do for RC8. Lots of lightmap stuff and hopefully taking out most of the custom textures/props that aren't mine and replace them with stock ones.

A good deal of those clipped things are for detail, yes, and I don't think they're an issue - anyone who spends a couple minutes on the map will learn what's clipped and what's not. If there's any particular spot that really looks like it should be walkable (but isn't), feel free to post screenshots here and I'll see what I can do.

Sounds good to me! Glad to hear other people are having the same thoughts. That's definitely one change I'm most likely going to make for next version, as well as a few other things on last to make sniper less powerful. I know of most of the sightlines everyone is talking about so I'll definitely be doing something about it! No worries, thanks for posting about this!

Have you tried rebuilding cubemaps in-game in SFM? I would have no idea if that would fix the problem, but it could be a possible solution.
