-Removed some obstructions that prevented explosive jumping through flank area.
-The flanks now proceed much closer to the point with a new exit.
-Decreased original doorway exit size from flank to point.

-Overall clipping and bulletblock improvements.

koth_avalanche_rc9 changelog:

- Removed the farthest side route from yard so the choices are more obvious.

- Removed the arched ceiling from the room with the small health pack near lobby and expanded a door frame in that room to make it so you could double jump as scout without hitting your head.

- Removed all corrugated metal from transitional walkway leading to mid from lobby.

- Raised the height slightly of two sniper fences on wooden platform at mid to help cover what the corrugated metal was covering.

- Added side passages at the back of the broken building on mid and added stairs going up above them to give a bit more things to play around.

- Removed narrow broken wall at the front of mid as it could be used to make taking rockets extremely difficult. I smoothed out the front of mid's building as well to make getting on easier and bombing onto easier.

Thanks to b4nny for reviewing rc8 on his stream!
