I’ve agreed that if it’s good enough it’ll replace gm_construct in the big GMod 13 update.

Key Features:
-High-Detailed 3D Brush-based Multi-Level Enterable Buildings.
-Different shadow-casting in the world.
-More grass and slopes to build and play on.
-Lake size and depth increased.
-New Room under Garage to Build in (with Mirror!)
-New easter egg room.
-Other great things!

Will you release the Source VMF for the map?

The source files have just been released, you can find them here:

Oh please, I passionatedly hate that building, as long as that building is gone, I'll rest assured I won't kill.. someone..
Straight to the basics ; I turned off all the lights in the mirror room and it still appears as if they were on.

Eventually, yes, if garry still wants it there. HighVoltage is working on making the brushwork for it, but has a fiery passionate hate for it.

They work correctly in Episode Two, we are not sure why they dont work in Garry's Mod 13.

This reminds me of someone...

Garry, can you redirect the link on garrysmod.com to this thread now, and update the image on garrysmod.com to the main image in the first post of this thread?

Much appreciated! Also, please test the map and give some feedback when you can.


Edit: Link has been redirected. Just the image left.

Small lighting bug

Also perhaps change the texture of this, for some reason it doesn't quite suit a balcony, perhaps a glass texture?:

[powback]

Are the shadows on the outer wall are reflecting too much? Or perhaps the sunny parts of the wall are too dull?
Either way, it seems wrong... They look wet...

Oh! And by the way: I LOVE the map! It's brilliant! I believe the mapmaking is in good hands. Keep it up!

You have to change the skin of the lamp model per input (the light switch button).

Accidentaly posted, remove this

I hate it, its so annoying trying to remake it

Which is what it does, but it doesn't work in Gmod

I'm a huge fan of this room, but not really a fan of the lights.

the lights (old round ones in basement): replace models with florescent tube lights? possibly make them so you can shoot them out?


reposted because of 21 agrees but no response



this never got fixed i think.

Darkassassin0 posted:

your stairs are way smaller than garry's could you make them bigger?

Highvoltage posted:

I'll change them anyways to match the rest of the stairs

[Mr.D.M.C]

Hey highvoltage, can you do a tutorial on how to map for the beta like how to set it up for mapping?

[Darkassassin0]

nothings different then mapping for gmod 12 it uses the same system.

[Mrcookiejar]

Wow, amazing, stunning AND AWESOME LIKE COOKIEZZZZZZ!
Edit: Lol my comment ain't dumb :(

[DinoJesus]

Are you guys going to try and reduce far off texture repeat patterns. It isn't a big deal but I figure it would make the map prettier. If you couldn't do that for optimization reasons then maybe you could just try to vary the grass textures a bit in certain spots. It looks like you've done it a bit already but I mean to a more noticeable degree. I'm no mapper though so if any of this is just stupid wishful thinking then just disregard it.

I replaced the models with florescent one, I didn't earlier because I couldn't find the model for some reason.

The problem is that doors wouldn't change colour with the room.

-Stairs-

I'll do that right this second, I must of been messing with something else at the moment when i said that.

[ColossalSoft]

Water should be expanded a little. Not saying an entire ocean, but a little larger than it is.

[Chippiewill00]

As far as I can tell a lot of people liked my submarine area suggestion in the last thread so I'll just leave it here as a reminder.

There's this massive brick wall here, it'd be cool to have a little area for submarines to go into. Maybe one of Garry's tunnels could lead round into a little room underneath here.

Semi-Major changes like that should be left up to Garry's discretion when he gives feedback on the map.

make them the same as the walls,is there a flag to nocolide with player or something like that?,mat the out side with something different (just to tell its there and to see thru)
(no buttons to move them just have then permanently there.)

i agree it would be nice to have like a gloomy under water cave that leads up into an air pocket (possibly with stairs or some other means of transport into the spawn building or garage) and maybe access to the air vents.

and by cave i mean no straight edges make it completely out of displacements.

I mean that they won't change colour at the same time as the wall. Also it would colour the other side of the door making it look bad.

ah then maybe make the other side of the door nodraw? and couldent you just make the hole wall just 1 brush then make the wall brushes as they are now to stop you walking thru it anywhere but the doors?

[ = door
| = NC'd wall (colorable)
I =Norm wall (invis)

I|
[|
I|
I|
I|
I|
[|
I|

so just make the wall as it is now completely invis, add 1 more brush over the hole thing make it colourable and NC'd

you could even leave space for spectators:

[ = door
| = NC'd wall (colorable)
I =Norm wall (brick)

I |
[ |
I |
I |
I |
I |
[ |
I |

i think the one with a gap would be better tho so you can walk thru any spot on the wall not just the doors

[Skerion]

It's about time you guys made your own thread for this. This is awesome.

[FLy1nRabBit]

I'm really going to miss the old gm_construct, but then again we do need something new. Either way I'm going to save the old gm_construct just in case :) Either way pretty cool map! Keep the good work!

[Daniel Smith]

So awesome. I will check out every new revision each day

[Loures]

Is there gonna be a secret credit room aswell?

At least move the switch.

[Darkassassin0]

it would be nice if the line between grass and sand wasn't so straight (dont change the shape of the lake just the material so its a little more random like a real beach)

Edited:



miss-aligned texture (may be a cube map tho)

[Daniel Smith]

This is the first bug that I've noticed, you are probably already aware of it though.


That brush shouldn't reflect.


Tuning down the HDR would be good.


One of the sides isn't quite touching the ground.


Age-old bug, should be taken care of.


The stairs leading to the expanded dark room shouldn't reflect.


Not quite matching the width of the other one.


Maybe it should be invisible?


You can see this while flying above, try lowering the displacement a bit.

for the last -snip- time the mirror will NOT work in gmod 12 you MUST have gmod 13 for it to work!

Colton Rappe posted:

Can I test for bugs playing the map in Garry's Mod 12 instead of Gmod 13 Beta?

You can, but there are issues that arise by running the map in Gmod12, such as the mirror in the mirror room being glitched. So we discourage it.

Damnit!

[DarthTealc]

I'll repeat what I said in the other topic -

I'd suggest putting a solid wall behind the mirror with a texture which says "Mirror requires Gmod 13". Nobody with Gmod 13 would notice the difference, but Gmod 12 players would see it.

This will stop Gmod 12 users reporting it as a bug. An alternative would be just a solid wall with no message - it is better than no wall.

[Robotboy655]

The floor in the mirror room is reflective too (when lights turned off) which i think shouldn't be.

[cprossu]

I'd suggest putting a solid wall behind the mirror with a texture which says "Mirror requires Gmod 13". Nobody with Gmod 13 would notice the difference, but Gmod 12 players would see it.

except those who noclip through maps to look for such things...
I say leave it the hell alone, gmod 12 will be gone soon enough.

this will not work for 2 reasons:

1) there is already a wall there if you noclip out
2) its not that its not appearing in gmod 12 (if it wasn't you would see the void) its just not reflecting correctly

[Spencer Sharkey]

Continue the red footer texture thing up the wall there?
