Basic requirements for a DZ map

trigger_survival_playarea at least 300 units above the highest point in map, this trigger should cover the whole playable area, playable area of Valve's Blacksite is 16384x16384 units.

game_survival_logic this entity is core for the game mode, actual purpose is currently unknown.

point_dz_weaponspawn scattered around the map, there needs to be some distance between these otherwise they might fail to spawn.

Note:There seems to be a required amount of these in order for the map to not crash the game upon selecting deployment location.

Note:The number required of these is speculated to be between 90-230. Valve used around 530 on Blacksite.

Limiting area where players can deploy

This is controlled by a png texture which should be in csgo/maps/ with name format dz_mapname_spawnmask. It should represent overview of the map, black filled areas block deploy points.

Spawnmask texture used for Blacksite

Adding overview image for tablet

A texture of vtf format that represents the map overview needs to be located in csgo/materials/models/weapons/v_models/tablet/ with name format tabet_radar_dz_mapname

Note: The tablet overview image is not same as map overview image, it needs to be roughly 30%(?) smaller in order to line up with world.

Todo:  Figure out how to make tablet overview to line up with actual map.

Adding overview image for deployment selection

A png texture needs to be located in csgo/materials/panorama/images/survival/spawnselect/ with name format map_dz_mapname.
