[b]Useful Menu Patch:[/b]

"What is the Useful Menu Patch?":
In a rush to get this mod out in time, I missed adding the useful menu which contained many of the bombs among other things. If you want this menu back you can download it above. The readme will explain how to copy it into your PHX2 folder properly.

It's not FakeFactory quality, It's Episode Two quality.

DirectX® 9 level Graphics Card (ATi 2xx0+ or Nvidia 7x00+ Recommended)

PhoeniX-Storms 2 (Low Resolution)
The low resolution copy of PhoeniX-Storms for those of you who own a low end computer. If you are having crashing issues and or low framerate with PHX2, download this copy or the patch below. If everything is working great, ignore this version entirely. It's a downgrade.

Minimum Hardware:

Code:

1.7 GHz Processor
DirectX® 8 level Graphics Card
Windows® Vista/XP/2000
512MB RAM

FileFront:

Garrysmod.org

Not possible at this point. It'll most likely be considered a duplicate upload.

Texture [b]Downgrade[/b] Patch:

The Texture Downgrade Patch allows you to downgrade an existing copy of PhoeniX-Storms or the High Resolution PhoeniX-Storms to it's low resolution counterpart.

PhoeniX-Storms SVN (PHX3 Developer Repository)
This version only comes in high resolution flavor.

SVN:

https://phoenix-storms.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/phoenix-storms

Code:

How to use SVN:
1: If you do not already have an SVN client, get one. I recommend TortoiseSVN.
2: Create a folder in your addons directory called "phx3".
3: Right click on your newly created phx3 folder and hit "SVN Checkout".
4: Enter the SVN URL found above.
5: You're done, let it download everything.
6: Profit!

Screenshots: (These were taken with the high resolution version.)

What is PhoeniX-Storms?:
PhoeniX-Storms is one of the largest and most widely used model packs for Garrysmod, now with over 100,000 downloads. This model pack enables people to build amazing new contraptions with extreme precision and professionalism.

Whats new?:
Everything has been updated to work with Garrysmod 11. PHX no longer requires override to function, and thus adds no extra load time to Garrysmod. It also has nearly 40 new props, new maps, and much, much more.

Exactly how big is PHX2?:

When uncompressed, PHX2 is 260MB.

When compressed in 7z format, PHX2 is 55.2MB.

When compressed in Rar format, PHX2 is 75.6MB.

When compressed in Zip format, PHX2 is 89.5MB.

These do not properly represent the SVN or low resolution versions of PhoeniX-Storms.

PhoeniX-Storms compatible mods:
(Conform to the PHX standard size, PHX compatible, or useful for building PHX contraptions.)

Tiled Building Blocks (By hunter_hunte) (Now included in the PHX SVN!)
Primitive Mechanics (By joebloom) (Now included in the PHX SVN!)
XQM Model Pack (By x-quake) (Now included in the PHX SVN!)
SmartSnap (By Syranide) (Officially supported by the PHX SVN)
Easy Precision STool (By hunter_hunte) (Now included in the PHX SVN!)
SpaceBuild ModelPack (By The SpaceBuild Team)
Massless Thrusters (By JetBoom)
Physics Performance and Speed Settings (By Jinto) (Allows you to beat the 115 MPH speed limit in the Source Engine, and more.)

I'll ask for permission to list these eventually, If you want them taken down for any reason, PM me.

Insert random joke about eating babies here.

So by over 40 new props you're not talking about the tri pack and phxtended are you?

Those aren't really new if that's what you mean. :/

Did anyone finally fix the untextured part of the tower?

I crashed when loading the map.

Edit:

I think the map's file size is too big for my gmod to load.

At this point, it's not possible.

That one collision model isn't much of a problem though, It's not really hurting anyone.

(And, Think you could lower the size of that jpeg?)

Thanks!

Just delete your gmod folder and backup your "addons" folder.

Are these models compiled properly? I'm not exactly an expert on these things, but many of my better-informed accquaintances tell me that PHX-Final had icky collision models, etc., and as such could crash servers.

It worked. However. This weird icon error. It seems to happen with any new custom models. Everything is all fucked and have weird graphical glitches.

Try refreshing them one at a time.

Just a quick question. I put PHX 1 in my materials/models/etc... folders, rather than in the addons folder (Strange, I know, but it always worked).

Do you have a list of the old files so I can find and remove them? (If I just go for the easy "Clean GMod" method, I'll probably just do it again)
