Bizory by Rappatix

Hi Rappatix;
i can see the changes you made over my revision of the map Bizory (mainly with the strategic points); which are all fine, as far as i have tested.
However; there are a few things i would like to draw your attention about:
1) The main loading screen of your version is the default CoH loading screen, meaning that the original loading screen was lost in your editing process.
I am referring to the following loading screen:
The reason it's very important to maintain this loading screen image, is because it contains credits of the map creators.. as highlighted in the image.
(observe the red arrow)
You can go back to the current live version (v5.3.2) & extract Bizory before your edit.. then take a copy of the loading screen .tga file, and use it when you re-compress your edited version using Corsix.
2) Another thing is the "info description" button, i can see you added your name there:
That's of course completely fine, however; while the line you added has a nice sense of humor.. it does give a very different idea of the map core.
Originally, Bizory was a winter map with a completely different sector layout painting and features.. so it was revised by me into a summer version, with the current sectors that you seek to modify... So, me mentioning "summer revision by Tiger" means that it's a summer conversion. Not that the revision took place in the summer season. And therefore, if you mention on the other hand "Winter revision by Rappatix" this means that you converted it back into a winter setup, which is obviously not true.
Let's keep humor away from this stuff, please stick to the credits formula.. i'd suggest you add "edited by Rapptix - late 2022"
That said;
i am more than happy to provide advice/guidance or support with your mapping efforts, so feel free to reach out to me in case you needed any help.
