The Office Park - Beta 0.5 to 1.0 Changelog

A lot of work has been done to The Office Park since the original release, and a lot of changes have been made to the original design documents (some of which will not be seen for another release or two). This isn't a bad thing, but testament to development as a process. From inception, we gain experience, learn, adapt, and - hopefully - succeed.

Inadequate record keeping means that a more explicit changelog is impossible, but I have made an effort to glaze over some of the more notable changes in this post.

Changes from Beta 0.5 to Beta 1.0 are as follows.

Gameplay:
-Entire courtyard reworked.
-Weapon spawns adjusted.
-Additional vents added inside administration building.
-More decals, overlays, and props added for detail.
-Locked two rooms in administration building.
-Removed unfinished alternate route on ground level leading outside the office park.
-Removed exit to balcony from starting location - players can still look out to the courtyard via peephole.
-Extra door added in administration building between rooms.

Technical:
-Lighting adjusted in numerous areas.
-Cieling light textures that were previously lit when off were fixed.
-A number of textures were adjusted.
-Changed a number of prop_static entities to prop_physics entities.
-Changed some func_details to world geometry.
-Changed some world geometry to func_details.
-Adjusted func_viscluster in courtyard
-Navmesh edited for greater functionality. OBSCURED marks used more liberally and open areas were weeded of excess navigation squares.
