update notes:
- map should no longer time out.
- changed bloom intensity in caves
- toned down orange lighting cast from lava

left to do:
- fix the pathfinding for the bots

Are you telling me @rockdude86 that after what, a decade or so, it's really done?

[rockdude86]

Apart from a few last kinks yeah this is done (for now ) 

apparently people are having server timeouts due to long loading times (bug caused by re-packing the map for compression).

Since releasing an 800mb pak file is a bit too much the map is quite crippled until epic fixes the cooking process.

So no online games yet and sucky bots offline (damn you murphy!) 
Anyway what's another couple of weeks on a decade...

Maybe @2d-chris can help with some tips?

Man, I remember being impressed by the Source version of this. Then I remembered these.....

I looked at it and really liked the aesthetic of landwalks going back and forth, up and down. When I saw the images from Source @sprony posted I realised that they for some reason were so much easier to read and I figured that might be because all the edges in the Source version has a texture with a lighter contrast.

So if I were you I'd make sure to give them a little color tint or contrast in comparison to the other wall texture the edges connect with.  I made a very quick and dirty paintover just to clarify what I mean.
