Hightower Expanded and Enhanced

Description
A small project that aims to improve Hightower without massively changing its design.

TO RUN: type "map workshop/3402308500" in the console.

Changes include:
-Improved clipping in certain areas.

-Stairs now have block bullets clipping, which should improve the reliability of rockets while firing towards stairs. (Suggested by mrswormsweat)

-Railing added in patches on the cliff, requiring a greater sense of timing if one chooses to camp as Pyro on the cliff.

-Fast classes should no longer bump into the spawnroom doors as they open.

-Minor visual changes and extra props.

-Health pack rebalancing, both in location and flow.

-The back hallway has been expanded.

Mistolfo, as of very recently you can easily play workshop maps with friends! Once you've played the map / installed it, just press the Create Server button in Find A Game, make sure Steam Networking is enabled, and choose "plr_hightower_expanded" as your map.

is the area behind the house on the cliff finally accessible?

mrswormsweat, that's a good point. The main reason its not more common is because block bullets brushes prevent the "splintering" particle effects when firing at something with a hitscan gun. (It might also *slightly* effect rocket jumping, but I can't imagine how a rocket having to travel a few milliseconds less to explode could mess up any jumps that a human could consistently make)
However, I think I speak for most players when I say I'd rather have consistency in gameplay than in visuals, so I went back in to change it.

You should use block bullets tool texture instead of player clip brushes on stairs. Block bullets also block rockets and grenades and an explosion from a rocket or grenade is traced to the player, if anything including steps are in the way no matter how thin, it causes 0 damage, which is why to use block bullets on stairs. If you can be under the stairs and can shoot between stairs from over to under and vice versa, then a player clip brush might be better in that case but neither option is perfect by then.
