im lost]

yo

cant find the map

like how it's going so far

this map is so deez lol xd

ben rooms would be cool too...

It was, hypothetical. But good to know!

@Apis The goal of this map is to have multiple levels and the entrance (+ the Doors add-on for the appearance of infinity). Unfortunately - the problem with the backrooms anomalies on a map like this is that the Doors ARE pushing the source engine's physical limits. It would take a frankly insane amount of editing to the pathfinding code to create NPCs that work through the portals. I think it'd be better to just make it from scratch at that point. I gotta agree though - that would be pretty cool.

Someday, I want to see a backrooms map that pushes the source engine to its physical limits. A map that truly gives the feeling of the backrooms. One with multiple levels, async threshholds, easter eggs from many youtube found footage videos, and, best of all, I want to see a nextbot pack with many backrooms anomalies across the canon to do it with, some of which might be 2d, some 3d, some killable, some indestructable! And, oooooooh, what If they made a TFA swep for the double-barrreled shotgun from "The Escape!"

That would all be so cool!

And it would be even better if there was a small portion of the map that was just forest or something, which would represent the real, normal world before the backrooms that you would spawn in.


This isn't a suggestion to this map creator specifically, it's more of a lament.

@Apis Not too big right now, but I'm expanding it in the next update.

How big is it?

thats alot of subscribers, congrats

maybe you can make ben so it would be the ben rooms? idk. its ur map

@anunn75 This is a sandbox map. I haven't created a navmesh, but I might in the next update. The issue is, the doors aren't actual portals (obviously) meaning that navmesh doesn't interact with them. That means, if you go through the teleport, enemies will suddenly stop following you and go the other way.

is this a horror map or a sandbox map and is there a navmesh?

when ur on ur big break maybe add kv31 perhaps?

take things hard actually. it'll be funny

Take things easy until then.

@Disappointment Things are going alright. Like I said, just other things in life that limit my free time. Hopefully I'll get a bigger break soon so I can work more on this.

Hey man, how's stuff been going? You doing alright?

Sorry, no specific date. Hopefully soon, but I've got a lot of things happening that limit the amount of time I can spend on this.

when update though. can you give an exact date?

@karambit Update is a work in progress.

when update

finally! a place to put my toilet!

A really cool area might be that expansive gap with all of office corridors, like in that one backrooms found footage video. Not sure what that section is called but is has real ominous vibes.

@Hazardous Like I said, extra levels are in progress!

you should try to add the extra levels like habitable and pipe dreams

I see. Best of luck though, this'll definitely be fun to mess around with friends in.

@Disappointment I did attempt that, but unfortunately the lighting position must have been wrong or the environment had an effect on it. When I expand the map further, I'll try to make the transition cleaner.

@tylermgyt I'm working on making more levels, actually! Once it's done, there will hopefully be 3 different levels (and if I have enough time, maybe an entrance outside where you spawn? not really sure).

I wonder how many times people did backrooms maps.

You should probably put lights behind the teleportals from a bright to dark area. It makes the transition a bit cleaner.

by some like darker wall, there are a few, you go to a new level.

would love other levels!

I haven't created anything in the way of NPC support yet. As well, with the way the Doors addon works, NPCs won't follow you through the portals; I'll see if there's a way I can fix this in map creation, but until then, support is limited.

Does it have Nextbot support?

yeah theres another gm_backrooms map i have installed

@Nestunk Nope! It doesn't require anything except the Doors addon which was listed in the required items.

any games needed?

@karambit That's actually a good idea. I'll keep note of that once I publish the new update.

try renaming it to gm_backrooms_doors, maybe?

this map is cursed, cursed in the highest form that only a gmod map could ever be. it's basically purgatory.

the carpets sound totally soaked through, and the walls could very conceivably be lined with mold, as if the building were flooded at some point.

the lights are obnoxious but as with many obnoxious sounds, you stop hearing them after a certain amount of time. i just hope that happens before it causes us all to collapse mentally and start beating the crap out of each other in anger and confusion.

Do you think I should try a different map name? gm_backrooms probably isn't uncommon, so I can try renaming it next update.

WAIT I HAD A MAP WITH THE SAME FILE NAME
SO IT WAS OVERRIDING IT

wait now its there without disabling

Until I can figure out what's going wrong, I'll revert to the last working update.

Also, @oliversvenerik this is sandbox/roleplay, meaning no NPCs.

I've just checked, the map is in sandbox for me and I don't have the map in my files under Garry's Mod. I don't know why you aren't seeing it, I'll try to do some more tests.
