Various bug and exploit fixes for the first 3 maps.
Added survivor respawn closets – some temporary while we work on the maps.
Added navigational aids to maps.
Changed the first map’s ending as an experiment – please give feedback!
Added alternate route around boat mast – please give feedback.

To help with public testing, we fixed more bugs and exploits than we normally would on maps that are still in a transitional state. We are holding off on many changes to the finale right now as that map will change the most.
