Version 2.51
- Added stringtabledictionary to .bsp ( ZzzzZzzz)
// This might be important. There was a console warning the .bsp needed stringtabledictionary rebuilt
// This will still be considered version 2.50 becuase nothing really changed

Version 2.50


Changes shared in both maps:
- Fixed some transition bugs between map 1 to map 2.
// Doubles of pipes bombs and weapons were appearing map 2.
Possibly something to fix but couldn't figure it out:
// For some reason the map won't transition over carryables like gastanks, propanes, or fireworks unless held in hand by the player.
- Made a window in the atrium twice the bigger.
- Added more details to the non-playable street area around the Apple Inn.
- Fixed a typo in the soundscape "appleinn.1stfloor.sidewing"


Map 1 changes:
- Updated my ko-fi "advertisement" poster to something much better looking I made with Blender and Gimp and moved the advertisement to above the benches in the player start area.
- Changed the lighting in the Northwest wing 3rd floor hallway to better direct players to the fire escape door.
- Changed the lighting in the northwest 2nd floor hallway to better direct players into the busted pool.
// Areas you not supposed to go have lower light levels
- Added some nodraw collisions around some more furniture like beds around the map.
//so molotovs and pipes etc are not rolling away under the furniture.
- Added a new sound effect for the electric room switch.
- Decreased the smoke around security room ceiling window and added a bright halo glow to the refridgerator below.
// Helps guide players better into the ceiling hole.
- Moved Nick 1.5" westward to stop a tiny bit of his shoulder clipping the door frame on the intro.
- Added some posters around the book shelf to make it more memorable then other areas of the map.
- The fire in the lounge will now set infected on fire.
- Added ceiling inferno particle effect to the lounge area.
- Fixed Tank-only gate in atrium not activating the generator when broken.
- Added timer which will attempt to recompute the nav again when all players are in the safehouse by opening the book case and unblocking the func_nav_blockers there
// As a fail safe in case its broken for some reason
- Modified the boiler room office to move the door frame a bit
// Seemed kind of crowded and annoying and needed more space and positioning
- Added a named light that turns on/off depending on route in the northwest 2nd floor hallway with the pool and security room.
// Will be off if the security room doors are open making that area dark so players don't get confused and go toward the pool after fueling the generator.

Map 2 changes:
- Added a "strongmen effect" to the hanging signs in the finale. When they are hit by a tank rock and swing 180 they will give a small chance of a zombie hoard appearing.
// Adds +1 to the polling of the director anger query (LDQ)
- The special infected (SP) are now pushed off the rescue vehicle when it takes off.
// A SP, like the tank, should no longer be floating in the air where the rescue vehicle was parked.
- Removed the trigger teleport hacks around the finale exit. Survivor bots will no longer teleport through the doors and come back into the hallway.
// Using now a func_nav_blocker there that doesn't affect the flow
- Increased the damage of the explosion when the rescue vehicle busts the exit open. It deals now about max 40 damage if too close.
// stops camping in there
- Added some nodraw collisions around the benches so pipe bombs around are not bouncing underneath them where they are useless when they explode.
- Added invisible walls for throwables outside the windows. So molotov, pipes and jars are not flying into the unplayable area.
// Useful for player wanting to chuck a throwable quickly out the window
- Increased HDR brightness of red tail lights on rescue vehicle
- Added an dirty smoke exhaust particle effect to the rescue vehicle to make the hallway more atomospheric
- Removed about 30 unnecessary entities.
// Some things like the bookshelf prop were dynamic and could be static in map 2, some things could just be deleted like all the paintings in the lounge stairs.
// Some cubemaps and old logic_relays could be deleted too
- Added a fire sound effect, smoke and red light coming from the closed louge gate.
- Moved a physics lobby cart that was catching players in the north east corner of the finale atrium
- Added some military crates to the northeast corner of the map to create a safe "tunnel" area to duck out danger

Version 2.40

Big Changes:
1. Reformulated the structure of the finale waves and tanks .It now uses logic director queries (LDQ).
// Difficulty of the finale will now be based a bit on how well the survivors are handling each wave of zombies and tanks.
// The global total amount tanks allowed will be 3 tanks for the whole finale.
// The finale will now last randomly between 4 to 5 minutes.
// The amount zombie waves depends on how angry the director is.
// If right away your doing terrible, like a survivor dies with the first tank the director won't be "angry" and it might skip a zombie wave and give you a 30 second pause with nothing happening and then send the second tank.
// But if the survivors are doing very good with no damage and kill the first tank right away the director will be very angry and might even send all 3 tanks one after another with a zombie wave, it might be moderately angry and send the zombie wave right after the tank. It all depends on how the LDQ is interacting with the finale logic.


1. Added more detail to the street for the window view in the atrium. Like a crashed bus that says "EVAC" in the route display.
2. Fixed the fire alarm HUD hint from appearing after the alarm was already used.

10. Capitalized the word "finale" in the missions.txt
11. Optimized things in map 1 to stop "Too many vertex format changes. Whole world not rendered"
12. Added the autoshotgun and hunting rifle to the finale
13. Added a collision to the finale ceiling glass frame.
// Solves two problems. The signs spinning unrealistically 360 degrees through the frame
//It blocks the tank rocks thrown from the roof, it wasn't realistic that the rocks were flying through the frame.

Version 2.4
- Fixed a typo in the map sound overrides
appleinn_py_m3_level_sounds.txt changed to appleinn_py_m2_level_sounds.txt

// This problem was created in and only existed in version 2.30. Didn't catch it before uploading 2.3

Version 2.30

- Big Change.
1. Made the finale a second map.
// Makes arrival upon the finale like a saved checkpoint.
// This should make the finale more fun if failed, it can be immediately play it again.
// Will reduce entity count and complexity in the first map.

2. Gas cans needed to be collected increased from 3 to 4.
// Collecting just 3 might be too easy.


Small Changes.

4a. Also added some windows to one of the far walls in the finale where a infected ladder is.

6. Added a new jockey music
7. Add a zombie groan ambiance to the outside soundscape.
8. The large signs hanging in the finale will move and swing when hit by tank rocks.
// It looks better and is kind of funny when they swing around.
9. The electric switch now will either disable the fire pipe in the security office, or will spawn a machete and boomer bile in the pool drain depending on the route picked.
10. Added some green "army crates" to the finale area which can help block tanks rocks.
// Still felt like getting hit by tanks rocks in expert was unfair. There should be enough spots to duck out rocks now.
11. A first aid kit will always be now located on the room service tray on the first floor near the burning lobby door if the long route is picked.
12. The pill medical cabinet is now removed in the bathroom with the TV if the short route is picked.
13. Added water to the room below the busted pool.
// The pool drained down below so there should be water down there.
14. Added an animated character now seen driving the escape vehicle.
15. Changed the design of the Apple Inn facade in the escape scene from red brick to more of stone castle look and added an "Apple Inn" floor sign.
16. Added a second random camera in the escape scene.
17. Decreased a majority of the fires to deal 2 to 4 damage per second.
// But a couple spots remain where it will deal a lot of damage. Like short cut spots such as the burning sofa (58 damage per second) near the elevator or the fire at the drop down from the second floor to the first floor with the burning hole in the floor remains at 25 damage per second.
18. Spaced out the distance between the weapons in the security room gun rack
