[ RADAR ] - Spectators' radar was replaced with a minimap, allowing for better orientation and action-following without resorting to the overview. - When playing competitive or with sv_competitive_official_5v5 set, the minimap will show player hotkey values like the overview map does. - Added convar cl_radar_always_centered ( default 1 ) then when set to 0 makes more efficient use of the radar at the expense of moving the POV away from the center. - Added 2 options to the radar, allowing players to change the scale and orientation. These are exposed in the Game Settings menu, or directly with the cl_radar_scale ( default 0.7 ) and cl_radar_rotate ( default 1 ) convars, respectively. - Added convar cl_radar_icon_scale_min ( default 0.6 ) that allows radar icons to be kept large when the scale is reduced. - Moved the planted bomb icon from below the radar to the timer. - Fixed radar showing above or below on a player when spectating them from chase.

(/cs will search for all hostage rescue maps) -An asterisk will search for a map name suffix. (*_se will search for any map ending in "_se") -A double slash will search for an exact map name prefix.
