zs_siege_opt Zincoshine

[Pufulet]

Sorry about another topic but I think its required...

Pufulet: Finally I found someone who could help me with my problems in mapping mainly to do with optimization. I worked with him about a week and finally finished it. Thanks Zincoshine ur awsome >=D. Oh and btw zs_dump is on its way

Zincoshine: pufulet did a lot of changes after zs_the_siege, but he still failed to optimize the map. I succeeded however, with his permission and VMF which means no vmex bugs!

The map will be released soon with a few images.
