You can generate the Navmesh urself by typing in console "nav_generate". AI Nodes are already included and i optimized them in last update. Thanks for the suggestions

navmesh? AI nodes? Maybe some pretty deep tunnel/sewer system? Maybe even make it more spooky the deeper you go?

One of my favorite set pieces from the entire game, thank you for making this!

If it makes you feel any better, Valve didn't even bother to compile LDR for about half the maps in HL2. Ravenholm & the Coast maps are almost all HDR-only.

@hellwire

It's alright, a lot of people do it so I don't hold it against you. It's not like Valve documented anything related to HDR anyway. It's basically implied - but never said - by Valve to use no more than a 0.85 HDR brightness scale on lights.

1.0 HDR brightness is what causes the retina-burning washout effect that a lot of maps have, especially if the lighting is brightly lit.

Just simply turning down the HDR scale is enough to make a massive improvement on a lot of maps, but due to the comically steep learning curve of Hammer very few people know that.

@hellwire

The file size is negligible. HDR also looks like crap most of the time, so I prefer to keep it off.

Compiling the Map in LDR would greatly increase filesize as it gets stored seperatly in the BSP file and i dont know any reason why not to use HDR instead as looks much better and gives me greater control over the lighting. I will note and update in the future! Thanks

1. Is there a reason you didn't compile standard LDR lighting?
2. The bloom on your HDR is blinding, set the HDR brightness scale in the light_environment to 0.8

yes

do you have the episodic content mounted to gmod? hl2 ep1 & ep2.

i can see an error above a doorway in a room with the fire place can anyone help?

nvm my dumb butt forgot to enable HDR

When i type "Mat_fullbright 0" in the console it refuses to activate
help?

I did... you just have to type a console command in order to disable the full brightness.

You need to enable High Dynamic Range (HDR) in the video settings.

Why is this fullbright ? Apparently typing mat_fullbright 0 in the console then typing restart fixes the problem.

I use the Life Mod

Set HDR to full

In the graphics settings under advanced you can enable "high dynamic range" <-- HDR

In the graphics settings, I believe.

quick and perhaps idiotic question: how do i enable HDR?

make sure you have HDR enabled

No.

for me it works just fine ? do you use any graphic enhancer mods like Life Mod ?

Lighting broken, its like fullbright is on.

Is anything required?

ingame the map name will be gm_underground_industry ( not the best name but who cares ) in the next update that runs through vvis currently .... so i will do my best to upload as soon as possible ... should be in the next couple of hours ^^ i will also post a full changelog in the description.

I realize this is a stupid question but what is the actual map name? There's no gm_underground_industry and I literally have 700 addons worth of maps I reeeeeally can't comb through to find the map.

Probably one of my favorite scenes from Half Life 2. Thank you!

AI Nodes are already on this Map

is there AI Nodes and a Navmesh? if not could you possibly create them for this map?

Yeah that are future plans i also want to increase the amount of space by adding more rooms and merge existing maps and i want the moving platform "cables" to be destructable but that is work in progress ^^

Are you planning to expand the map? I really enjoy Half Life 2 map remakes where there's multiple maps mixed into one
