I created the thread again so people dont miss the b2a version. As I mentioned in the previous thread, I accidentally managed to place 8 Axis spawn points. Version b2a now has 16. Humble appologies to all who grabbed b2!

Here is beta2 of dod_claviers. Basically I have spent a great couple of weeks playing the map (thanks to SS, UPA, 907th and others), and I have taken on board a lot of gratefully recieved constructive critism. Beta2 is a result of players reporting problems, mostly related to gameplay (the map was generally Axis biased). In beta2 the Axis spawn has been moved back, not far but just enough to add a few more seconds on their reaching the centre flag. Also new routes have been added to aid in the Allies approach to centre flag, including a route through the buildings from Allied 1st to centre and a new entrance in to the hotel so Allies dont have to go into the alley way to get inside. I have also re-introduced the tunnels which I took out of b1.
I have also tried to optimise a little. I have hint brushes arranged, but they are probably still done wrong. I await de-compilers comments on this :) I have also tinkered with model view distances, but I havent finished this yet, and I appologise if you see a model appear before your eyes. Anyway despite optimisation being incomplete I have personally gained a lot of FPS. I now command a comfortable 40-60 average (2800XP, Radeon 9600XT, 1GB RAM, 1280x1024 res all details high trilinear no AA no HDR), peaking at around 90 and dropping no lower than 30 (except for next to the Jeep at Allied spawn where swap buffers shoots up to full and FPS drops to 22). A playtest on sunlit revealed that everyone else is getting far better FPS than in b1 and the changes were all well receieved.
Thanks to: all those who suggested improvements and pointed out bugs, and to ultranew_b for the mountain panoramic.
