 Further development
-------------------------------------------------
> First Playable 3
- General
	* Added Axis Win animation.
	* Added various ambient sounds.
	* Added few big bushes for gameplay.
	* Added a new Command Map (Thanks Tardis!).
	* Lanterns and lights are now solid, making metal sound while shot.
	* Added some details, such as decals (Paper, bushes on walls, leakings).
	* Added the locations file, adapted from antman's 1944 Nordwind locations file.
	* Added Truckyard icon on the Command Map (Thanks IndyJones for the tutorial), as well as a Tank Hint on it and debris.

	* Lightmaps are 512x512 now.
	* Revised shaders quite a lot.
	* Fuel dumps provide the fuel for poels.
	* All buildings receive electricity from cables now.
	* Tweaked some textures so they make better shadows.
	* Removed the ambient lighting from Worldspawn, reworked lighting by the way.
	* Truckyard door is again Covert-protected, and the related room totally remade.
	* Replaced brushworked ramps by cylinders (Auto Phong Shading), and clipped them.
	* Players can't be stuck in windows or on buildings, some Clip added on these locations.
	* Disabled the first Allied spawn when Truck past the barrier to be sure no one spawn there, even new players joining.
	* Tweaked the .PCX so the Foliage is better reparted on the grass texture around the road and mountains...
	* ... But finally removed the Foliage shader and placed manually models like in original one, some to avoid spawnkill, some for quality.

- Objective Narrative & Mecanisms
	* Removed the Cracked Wall.
	* All events have wm_announce for bots easy scripting.
	* Reorganized the ojective narrative, based on Gold Rush objdata file.
	* The Allied Team Door of the Truckyard turns into normal door when Tank has destroyed the Gate.
	* Added the Warehouse Gate icon on Command Map for Allies, so they know if it is destroyed or not.
	* Made and added VO sounds for both teams to help following the objective. Used one or two from other maps
	 (Radar Summer VO for Tank Damaged for example), most of them are done with default VO edited with Audacity.
	* First Truck Barrier materials will appear during 5 seconds at the underconstruction state, so if somebody is there when
	  Tank has past it, he will notice something will happen very soon to him, and he have time to move out before the thing happens.

- Tank & Truck Related Stuff
	* Fixed Tank Build position.
	* Added Tank turret animation.
	* Added a second Truck Barrier.
	* Objective 2 cameras follow the Tank.
	* Objective 4 cameras follow the Truck.
	* Added some trigger_hurt from Tank cannon to Truckyard Gate, and around Truckyard Gate itself.
	* Added a Tank Barrier, barrier itself and materials can be used by both teams in a way or an other ;)
	* Tank breaks a wooden barrier near the Warehouse Gate while turning, for realism, like walls in Gold Rush.
	* Tank and Truck will stop often, since more splines have been added, and spline controls (+14 for Tank, +35 for Truck).

- Optimization
	* Caulked more surfaces.
	* Reduced Tiny Portals (51/72 -> 49/70).
	* Added some more Hint/Skip brushs.
	* Optimized T-Junctions (Thanks ailmanki for the link, and Ifurita for the tutorial, see link at the bottom).
	* Put a lot of Caulk structural brushes inside the mountains and hills: two times less portals, quick -VIS, more FPS.

> First Playable 2
- Fixes
	* Sky can be seen through windows now.
	* The ice pond is now solid, and slicks.
	* Fixed solid and build decays on the Tank.
	* Fixed/Added some texture and model shaders.
	* Fixed the custom generator skin not appearing with MD3 Viewer.
	* Fixed Warehouse Gate dynamite icon not disapearing while destroyed.
	* Fixed Warehouse Spawn not appearing (Forgot to edit the team_WOLF_objective in the script), and the possibility to move on.

- General
	* Retextured the terrain, so the snow_dirt fits the road.
	* Truck Barrier buildable on map start fixed, and is available earlier.
	* Roofs makes clanky foot steps noise, some textures make gravel noise.
	* Modified the ammo/health house near the Truck Barrier: Axis can no longer shoot from it to Allied Spawn;
	  Moved the back entrance to the left and replaced it by a non-breakable window: Axis can see Allies but can't shoot them.

- Optimization
	* Filled buildings with some Structural Caulk brushs to reduce the amount of portals generated.
	* Turned some objects into Detail brushes, cut with Clipper Tool many more.

	* Added the road for the Jagdpanther and Truck, using same textures as original map.
	* Added Clip brushes under tables and other objects, and behind Tank Depot, to avoid stuckage.
	* Added platforms and doors arount dumps for gameplay and realism (3 dumps, no access to have safety check?).

- Tests

	* _lightmapscale 0.125 or 0.01 on some surfaces.
	* Added a test Hint brush in Axis Spawn, and few others.
	* Restored the original skybox, it seems to give the map a better atmosphere, with the Wurzburg Radar shader.
