Its a bit hard to see the updates in quality without raping my internet downloads, any chance you could post a video and maybe 1 or 2 images with major differences? Cause after being disappointed by other maps and videos a couple of times I'm less likely to push the play button if I don't know you

You should copy/paste the "skip" shader and rename it to "hint_skip" then find/replace skip with hint_skip. you will then be able to filter hints with ctrl + H rather than filtering translucent.

Quite a few of your hallways are a bit tall, you should try reduce a few of them or maybe add in a LOT more trim, upper and lower trims so that the walls don't seem so "spacey"

The metal fence by the ticket booth should be nonsolid but player clipped instead of being solid.

Not sure I like the blue metal texture, seems weird and doesn't fit.

The head height ledge in the arrivals section should be clipped so its rectangular so you can grab on the ledge.

I'm thinking with the glass at the cafe, you should make each individual plane a func_breakable, but set bombable to 1 and the type to glass. that way you can shoot through it but it wont break. I seem to hate glass which you cant shoot through :x Make sure you don't select all of them and make them a func_breakable together, just do it manually for each individual plane.

Other than that, I think the layout is great. The spawns might need to be spread out, cause they only seem to have 1 exit each.
on the note of spawns you should have 16 spawns for each team :)

Hey thanks for that Del, that really helps a lot.

I've deleted the shops and ticket areas (with the big roof) and I've started to rebuild that section. I agree about the blue paint, I did try to change it once but Rylius nagged me to put it back, I think it needs some love to make it look better. I'm remaking all the railings as a model which is boring and I've used raynes metal texture for this, it looks pretty nice and might make a good replacement for the blue.

I hate the upper corridor with the glass ceiling and I'm close to remaking all that as well, perhaps with a curved ceiling, I've been looking for an interesting reference picture before I do it.

Great tip about hint filtering, I'll do this.

The cafe and the hello shop is a single model at the moment, it's just got a massive lump of weapon clip over it.
