this map was promised 3000 years ago

This map still being updated for optimization?

крутая гора, спасибо!

I can't get the map to work unfortunately; I don't know if its the events on the map conflicting but it causes a data crash on my gmod setup and I managed to make some progress deleting old and unused files, but it crashes as soon as I log in.
Is it possible to make a copy of the map that doesn't include the events so I can work with it? I just think that the events scripts are overloading my PC

this map is extremely interesting and i appreciate the connection of math and god

this is crazy you did a great job my dude!

I hope to update this map and publish a sunset and night version with better performance. I think typing gmod_mcore_test 1 in your console will boost fps.

Good idea, bad optimisation

ישראל מחפשת גיבור שיכול להוציא אותנו מהבורות אז אני נותן לזה הזדמנות.

I should also add that the groaning sounds are from ghosts, where one sits where the skeleton is (shine your flashlight). They do nothing at all, so they're unhelpful.
I won't spoil much, but the entire purpose of me making this map is in the center of the heaven. There's also a bonus puzzle but it requires decompiling the map into .vmf (see under the lapiz pedestal) ;)

The skull is blue actually, which can be located through moses's altar (one w/ 12 pillars), which the skull unlocks the stone door to Aaron's tomb. The HK tablets are XY coordinates for the seismographs. Press E on those tablets to reveal which color pertains to the flag color, and E on the seismos to get the P/S wave delay to get the circles' radii. If you want to skip the math part and activate God, (1) "check the boundaries," meaning there is a tilted post among hundreds others that has a secret button on top. Use "sv_cheats" > "wireframe" if needed, but I recommend narrowing down the selection with your desmos circles.

The shofar ram's horn is a sound I made, and it can only be heard when God descends on the mount (it's really loud and egregious btw). Then upon the appearing of the lapiz stone pedestal of Aaron's staff -- pressing E -- will become an inter-actable prop, that when returned to the ark of the covenant, will teleport you to heaven.

I have to say having completed the first section of the puzzle I'm having trouble with what comes after

Is the groaning sound by the skeleton in the fire dump supposed to be the "goat horn" the purple light mentioned? Because if so the pedestal on the mount isn't rising after I activate it. Is there something else I need to do? Maybe something with that "H K" tablet?

To give everyone a hint which is a little easier to follow. You're looking for a single teal skull

You're just substituting the h and k for numbers, and graphing P and S to get r (graph located in map's Alef stone and hint 4 in description (note x^{0.5} is the square root of x)).

Sorry, yeah, I'm terrible with Math, can someone help me out with the puzzle?

congrats this is cool

It really reminds me of some of my favorite things. The aesthetics of the Gerudo Fortress from Ocarina of time, the shape language of the Forsaken Fortress from Wind Waker--and most importantly, the chaotic, seemingly never-ending layout of those wooden playground sprawls everyone was building in the 90s.

וואלה

The architecture was mostly experimental, but here are some reference photos I used:

By the way, where did you get your visual reference for that mud brick fort-village? I've been looking for reference for something exactly like that, though it looks more like Mexican Pueblo than anything middle-eastern.

@Cathode Ray Kobold That is the table of shewbread, with twelve loaves of unleavened bread of the twelve tribes prepared for the sons of the high priest. But we keep history fresh american style, so have some happy meals ;)

This is a very fantastic map, it's honestly one of the most unique in GMod just for what it is combined with being well-made.

I didn't know the Jews had cheeseburgers.

A sandbox version so people can play rp or whatever would be amazing. The map is super cool, I love the village, mountains, and caves

I'm evaluating the lag problem originating in the dump, since there's a ton of physics props and ragdolls. If there are specific scripted events that get anoying, I can take them out (except of course, the puzzle).

This map is amazing. Any way you could upload a version without scripted events or maybe scaled down so it gets good fps for mp?

never mind, just as I went back to looking I found it

I found 2 of the h,k markers (red and green), but I'm having a hard time finding the last one.

ive been on this map for 2 hours and have not made any progress

Still got very bad fps drop

Hopefully this mitigated the drop in performance. Let me know if anything else changed.

indiana jones vs fritz

I'm planning on updating the map's asthetic. I'll fix the fps, as 650mbs is almost twice the necessary bsp size.

fucking beautiful goddamn, but like optimization anytime soon?

templeos vibes

Would literally be the best map there is had it not be for how laggy it is...

I actually recognized alot of the stuff that I wasn't expecting. Nice!

nice!

amazing map but gets very low fps

This is amazing 🔥

It's unorthodox for gmod. I hope you love math, history, and seismology ;)

its cool tho

this is crazy
