ctf_al_fresco

First version of my map CTF Al Fresco. Unlike the other official ctf maps, Al Fresco offers three flag spawn points per team, two spawns per team, and one capture point in the middle of the map. Most of the map is outside with trees as cover. Each end of the map has two large buildings with two smaller buildings in front and a small building in the middle that houses the capture point. There is also an underground flank behind the first flag's room. A complete download with a nav file can be found here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/k8ta88tqjjubuch/ctf_al_fresco.zip?dl=0 (if you choose to make your own nav file through nav_generate the bots will not be able to climb out of the underground passage and will likely get stuck in the 2nd spawn and rarely at the capping point. They will also get stuck trying to go through the one way doors.)

This map was initially made to combat the main problems most people have with ctf maps: Turtling, repetative movements, and spawn points too close to the intel. This map addresses turtling by denying buildings in the third intel room and giving most sentry spots sightlines from multiple areas. It addresses repetative movement by having three different intel spawns and it addresses the issue with spawn by moving spawn to an outside building once the team's first two flags are captured. The intel also has a shorter return time (10-20 seconds instead of 60) and picking up a dropped intel then dying does not reset the timer.

This map isn't complete as it lacks a propper skybox and some optimization points, but is otherwise complete and now requires testing for some balance issues (such as when the 2nd spawn becomes active, sizes and placements of ammo/health, size of underground flank, lack of or excessive cover (outside and inside), etc... Please leave suggestions and bugs in the comments or discussion page (No clue how the workshop works which is why I'm uploading without a proper skybox).
