======================================================

FINAL 3.0 CHANGES:
BUGFIX: Players can no longer get over the Cp wall behind stage 1 and become trapped in a void area.
BUGFIX: Players no longer see invisble walls when on top of the CP2A mini-walls.


FINAL 2.0 CHANGES:
General-
-Better optimization added to all 3 stages.
-Most models have their fade distance set, so rocks across the map won't be drawn anymore.
-New scoring system now in place: a point is added for each CP capped.
-Detail added to the spawn rooms.
-Decals changed to overlays, improving their quality and making them visible to all.

Stage 1-
-Windows added to the towers in stage 1 and 2.
-A large castle wall has been added behind the stage to prevent excessive drawing from stage 2.  At the right dropdown, FPs increased about 20.

Stage 2-
-An alternate route for blue is now in place before the traditional starting hallway.  This should stop it from being a huge chokepoint, as there is already a chokepoint later in the stage (breaking through RED's spawn waves at 2B)
-Area mostly retextured to distinguish it from Stage 1.

Stage 3-
-The keep walls are textured differently to give the area some variety.
-Minor see through brush fixed.
-Smoke cloud is slightly less intense.
-An alternate door at the side entrance to CP 3B has been added.
-The CP stand for 3B has been lowered.  Scouts can now double-crouch jump onto it from either side (the front requires the boxes)

----------------

FINAL 1.0 CHANGES:
Stage 1-
-Added small health/ammo to far dropdown entrance of inside castle.
-Added a wall inside the castle to prevent excessive sniper spam.
-Wood fences added inside the castle.

Stage 2-
-An additional CP has been added to this area half way through.  It will add 4.5 minutes to the timer when taken.
-More crate cover added to far path.
-A wall has been added to the far path to block LOS to the red resupply, cutting down on sniper spam.
-Tweaked some health and ammo packs.
-The wall leading to the last CP has switched sides in attempt to bring better flow to the CP.

Stage 3-
-The main bridge has been redone visually and now has a cover over it.  This should also help with excessive sniping.
-Soldiers can no longer unintentially get on top of the starting wall.
-Tweaked some health and ammo packs.
-Some wall locations have been adjusted inside the final fortress to increase flow to the last CP.
-Additional signs added.

General-
-Visually many details have been added everywhere.
-More optimization added in every area.
-Sun brightness reduced slightly.
-All areas now have 18 spawn points assigned.
-Many flatter areas have been modified to be more uneven.
-Rocks have been recolored to better match the surroundings.
-All CP's now take 6 seconds to capture.  This is a small change only to area 2.
-Timers have been revised with the addition of the double-CP areas.  The net result is mostly identical timings, but it has been streamlined.  They are as follows:
Area 1 - Start: 7.5 minutes
Area 1 - Capture: Add 4.5 minutes
Area 2A - Capture: Add 4.5 minutes
Area 2B - Capture: Add 4.5 minutes
Area 3A - Capture: Add 4.5 minutes

-Extra exit added to red resupply to prevent excessive spam.
-Tweaked the size of some ammo and health, and added some health/ammo for offense.

Stage 3-

-Tweaked the size of some ammo and health.
