DM-TaiSheng - Beta

[Luv_Studd]

Name: DM-TaiSheng
Version: beta v8d
Compatibility: latest patch
Description: Asian/Colonial influence period TDM - sprawling map
Comments: This was also a UCMP5 candidate though it wasn't as far along as Dante]I[.
Updates:

beta 8d:

• added many, many blocking volumes
• adjusted tiny steps near lift so easy to double-jump to (near stinger)
• fixed lift sounds
• tweaked terrain levels
• removed collision on various meshes that have blocking volumes around them
• removed dynamic shadow from water wheel

beta 7b:

• added music
• added various ambient sounds throughout level
• added sounds to lift
• added additional blocking volumes & deco to support flow in/around Udam area & jumpspot (thanks J3FFyB)
• updated lighting in dark spots & corners (thanks Juggalo Kyle & cUnNiNg_StUnTs - let me know if it's not enough)
• updated thighpad area - more deco
• fixed default text on earthy-mesh (near link)
• added 2nd bio and link gun near Udam area - bio on ground level; link on other side of bridge, opposite flak
• moved shield belt so not visible from steps and corridor
• added a wall/deco (near stinger) and added deco RL areas where bots were getting hung up on steps
• other minor updates

(I know there's a couple spots needing more attention - ie: bv's, as you can get stuck...)

beta 6:

• switched the belt with the vest; fixed wrong texture on floor where belt was also
• moved the RL to where the Flak was (near the thighpads)
• moved the Flak to where the sniper was
• moved the sniper to where the upper Bio Rifle was (near jump pad)
• centered the thighpads on the ledge where it always was - put a health vial on either side of it, took out the 5 health vials in the L-shaped corridor that led to the thighpads and replaced with a med health pack.
• replaced the 2-board ramp with steps; near where the Udam was previously
• fixed lighting on the bridge where the Udam is currently
• removed floating roof meshes
• fixed bot pathing around Udam area and elsewhere to improve bot performance
• centered round lantern below Udam, and tweaked ground/added steps to remove double-jump to lower ledge.

beta 5:

• Moved Udam and overpass where it laid out to be above RL location
• Removed Invis
