Map Overviews
Limiting area where players can deploy
This is controlled by a PNG file that needs to be located in csgo/maps/ with name format dz_<mapname>_spawnmask. It should represent an overview of the map, where black filled areas block deploy points. The surface area covered by this image corresponds to the play area trigger.
Adding overview image for tablet
This is controlled by a VTF file that needs to be located in csgo/materials/models/weapons/v_models/tablet/ with name format tablet_radar_dz_<mapname>.
Note:A VMT is not needed.Note:The tablet overview image is not same as map overview image, it needs to line up with the entire world. One pixel on a 1024x1024 image corresponds to 20 units on a 20480x20480 map.Adding overview image for deployment selection
This is controlled by a PNG that needs to be located in csgo/materials/panorama/images/survival/spawnselect/ with name format map_dz_<mapname>.
