@portalfan

Yeah, i've heard about crashes alot on this map but ive never been able to reproduce the issue on my end. I wish i could so i could fix it. my guess is the dynamic lights might be too much for some computers.

i still love this map...but keeps crashing

@Asriel the Protogen

Thanks, im glad to hear you like this map. :3

epic map, awesome stuff :3

@Blue Ok, thank you xd

@Remix187

well, I mean...you asked if content was packed into the map. the description says the answer. so obviously if your asking, you didn't read the description (or possibly dont realize that a bsp is the map file)

@Blue

Xddd i know that

@Remix187

read the description.

Is the content packed in the map?

@turrhita

thanks. :D

beautiful p2 map

@baller

its suprising. in hammer you can basically spawn the exact same entity as gmod lamps use, called env_projectedtexture.

it causes some performance issues on a couple older computers here-and-there but other than that im not sure why more gmod maps dont utilize it. its a great feature

this is the only map i've ever seen with dynamic shadows in gmod. literally how

@vyktorubuntu

thank you. :) im glad you like it

this map is vary good i was looking for one years now this one is vary good good job

@Neplioz

thanks. :)

very good map i enjoyed visiting it

@omniversequirk

its alright, im mostly just tired of explaining it over. :P

@FenFox ah, shit, yeah probably should've known you wouldn't have liked that. Sorry, man /gen

@omniversequirk

I didnt name the facility after that at all. its just a coincidence.

it is another term for aperture; and i named it iris because when i first made the mod this was based on back in 2014, it had a story about an alternate universe version of aperture named similar-but-differently.



tbh i wish people would stop automatically comparing this to the iris project or the hidden or whatever else based solely on the name. it doesnt even resemble the horror stuff people keep comparing it to.

@Kinsou76

ah ok. thank you for clarifying. i will have to think about it. it depends on the type of modifications you want me to make. in the meantime, you can fill out a comission form here:

https://checkpoint.cc/fenfox/commission-form/custom-portal-2-map_902

(this one is for making a portal 2 map from scratch; but you can specify the modifications you want to make to rp_iris and i'll review it and make a decision later)

@FenFox Yep

@Kinsout76

oh, i see. so you mean like a paid commission to modify this map for a specific server?

@FenFox Specials commands for server, modification in exchange of currency

@Kinsou76

what do you mean by getting a modification of the map...?

@FenFox Is this possible to get a modification of the map ?

@Kinsou76

yes. but this map might not be; atleast for now. i'll work on it when/if i feel like doing so

hello here, Fen are you alive?

i hope one day you make more Portal themed Gmod Maps.

Fair enough, looking forwards to seeing what you come up with.

@Destroyer_V0

there are a couple doors in this map that are locked or sealed shut; in a future update im planning to add additional rooms there. i havent found a concept i really like for them yet though

Curious as to the planned expansions to potential island external areas?

@H.Drescher

Not even remotely.

were you inspired by the name IRIS from the hidden: source as well? I've always thought it was a neat name.

@cammee616

Glad it worked. :) glad you liek the map, too.

now, if you dont mind, im going to delete some of your comments just to tidy things up slightly. if you have other issues post them in the discussion thread instead or contact me on discord

ok reinstalling them didnt work but mat_specular 0 did work thanks alot btw cool map

i have a missing textures problem in the map at spawn on the walls where the metal square thing is at spawn heres a picture to show what it looks like https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/917964732319809537/972147190292185138/unknown.png?width=674&height=379

@Peter Vs Serial Designation N

Yep. the soundscapes packed into the bsp are all just portal 2 soundscapes, but i wasnt able to find a reasonable way to pack the sounds themselves, so thats why people with portal 2 (or at least it's sounds) will hear the soundscapes, whereas nobody else will.

i have portal 2, so the sounds have a high chance of working i guess

very cool and interesting map

This certainly is a map

@TheOgre26

as an additional note; this is only necessary for people who dont have the right hardware to run dynamic shadows and stuff natively, and not good advice to follow for people who do.

i dont want people to follow your advice blindly if they dont already have issues because then they'll complain about an issue that this caused, without giving me any way to help them figure out what is causing it.

@Jimmy
what errors specifically? also, did you download any other addons at the same time you got this map? if so, please unsubscribe from this, then clean up your gmas, then let me know if the issue persists. there is no way that i am aware of for this to cause issues on any other map, however it may still be possible.

i downloaded this and it crashed when i was on another map it started spamming errors and made my screen black

For the map's shadows, paste this in the game's properties in advanced settings.

-force_vendor_id 0x10DE -force_device_id 0x1180

ok

@Dr.Lawrence

you dont need portal 2. :)

..that said though; the soundscapes might not work wihout it, but thats a pretty minor non-issue.

Question, does the No extra content or games needed, does that mean you do or don't need portal 2?

@[REDATCED]

already answered that question.

Navmesh?
