Yes, I know a fix for this map has already been made by GHW_Chronic, but it is very incomplete and some of his long methods aren't needed. My version is complete and it uses the strings that are associated with the entities as it is made for. In result, no PreThink is used and it's really lite on resources.

Re: surf_icebob2 fix by Firippu

hooking trigger_teleport touch is a bad idea IMO. you can create info_teleport_destination, on origin you want, give it a targetname, and set the target on teleport, that would be good, same for those cycler's teleports, create trigger_teleport's in them

EDIT: I see there is 1 gay spawn, you can hook its spawn and move it to new origin, so you wont need to always reset player's origin, also i think auto respawn doesnt fit into "map fix" plugins.

Re: surf_icebob2 fix by Firippu

@Jon,
It's from taking too many PEELS.

@xPaw,
I didn't want to hardcode the teleports because when you enter one it'll face you in one direction only no matter how you entered it, it won't have random destinations either. With my method, how you go in is how you come out, as it is in the xxl servers. Also, this method is a must for moveback and moveback2 or else it would be retarded walking through them and then flying out with a trigger_push trying to emulate how it's supposed to work.

As for the spawns, I suppose there's a better method, although it really won't make a noticeable difference.

I can see why auto respawn doesn't fit under a "map fix", but it's optional so I don't think it's a big deal.

If you know how to work with entities, it will be easy to fix. I'll take a look on that map later.

I'm very good at working with entities. While knowing nothing about amxx scripting, I figured out how the map worked in 2007 and hardcoded a fix into the bsp. In 2008, I made a plugin that had the same method, but I was unhappy with it because the gameplay didn't feel right because the teleports were hardcoded. Then in 2009 I finally figured out how to make the teleports feel like they do in the xxl servers using touch with the atm models. And it seems impossible to spawn a deagle with amxx, so I used touch for the guns, and I believe that the xxl servers uses the same method, I know that they use touch because when you try to pick up a weapon while already carrying one it'll print in chat that you already have a primary weapon and so on. There is very little game play difference with my version and the original one that the xxl servers have.
