i did smth like fnaf 1 vs fnaf 2 in this map it was awsome 10/10 would do it again but with fnaf 3 and 4

fix the ai nodes

Try typing "mat_hdr_level 1" into the console. If that doesn't fix it, let me know.

why is there blinding white light at certain parts of the map? Can this be fixed?

Good afternoon. I really like the idea and concept of the map.
I am very interested in it's VMF. As I have read you are open to communication regarding "custom variants".
So I am trying my luck and asking you to further discuss it through private messages.
Thanks a lot, have a good day/night.

Nice job lad :)

Also could you add brighter interiors? I use a mod to add a day and night cycle

i don't even get a message that the navmesh and ai nodes are there which is why I posted this

They work for me... I'll have a look tho

Navmesh and nodes don't work

essa

@penetrator salah You may be the first to let the child rest. Well done.

i found a message which is quite confusing

@penetrator salah Looks like you've uncovered something long forgotten. I wonder if there's more to it...

why did the baby just spontaneously combust in my hands?

@REDHOT There are errors that are aroung the grassy area of the small body of water. I'm not sure what's causing it

@blakesbc Mind elaborating?

There are errors near the lake

@samuelgronevelttab With friends or NPCs!

how to start the war?

Super cool rocks im a big fan of rocks. One downside tho i wish there were more rocks... 4 stars

@Engi Man The harsh light fits the oppressive setting, If you don't like it type "mat_hdr_level 1" into the console.

yes but the windows are like extremely bright
sometimes breaks and becomes PURE white
cant you just change light_enviroment lightning level?
maybe even use the d1_trainstation_05 wasteland settings
the act of light shiver

@Engi Man the HDR level is as intended. If you know about the command, use it :)

please fix the HDR a little bit, i know about the hdr level command but still

lights gates

(probably) works well with melonwars (i haven't tested it)

@Mark V Landship Gaming @femboy angry munci Thank youu, have fun!

insanely good

Cool map man!

@REDHOT I'll give that a try. Thank you.

@BuddyLach You likely have an addon that messes with areaportals / textures is my best guess. Try disabling all of them and load the map back up to see if it persists.

@REDHOT The lower base behind the initial spawn point, specifically at the giant door after opening and the open slits / windows.

@BuddyLach that's extremely odd. Never experienced that, mind telling me which places?

Really like the map, but noticed that if I stand in certain places in one of the forts my whole screen goes black.

maybe add some more spawnpoints

But ultimately if you stand in certain parts of the map you can see almost everything and that's just the nature of its design, seeing almost all of a massive map which has reached the brush and entity limit seems like a hopeless thing to optimise.

If I get the chance I'll see if I can reduce the number of func_visclusters I use, as most of the open air is filled with them meaning the engine thinks most of the map can be seen at once (which it basically can, anyway, but it might be worth a shot). Only problem is that the compiler crashes whenever I try to render without the visclusters lol.

Framerate in source is a lot more reliant on your CPU than GPU, as a ton of the game is handled by it, including rendering effects. Mostly a byproduct of the era the engine was made in.

I have an i5 3570k, a 3rd-gen intel chip, from 2012. Not great by modern standards but more than enough to handle Source standards at hundreds of frames per second on maxed settings at 2560x1440.

Having a ton of portals is sometimes worse than having none at all, if overdone; much like func_detail. It can result in the game trying to figure out what adjacent rooms it should render/derender if it has a lot of portals connected to it.

I appreciate ALL the feedback. If I'm able to figure out any new ways to improve fps I will, but I've built to the brush and entity limit which makes such a prospect seem unlikely. I'd have to massively simplify one of the bases for that, basically. Maybe I'll release a simplified version down the line. Thank you all for playing, though!

There definitely isn't a leak anywhere but I definitely did detail a lot of the bsp for the sake of reducing portals. Whilst a map like nycity can have areaportals splitting vis between each building and alleyway, this map is basically just one giant open room with a tall skybox and displacement ground making it almost impossible to optimise. I've certainly tried my best but know that it could be improved. I've not personally experienced single-digit framerates anywhere (I have a 1080).

I do wish I could optimise it more but I feel completely out of options

the guy below me is right i think there might be a leak in the map

This map is really cool, not often we see a huge map with a unique style in gmod nowadays.

That being said, there is likely a leak in your map somewhere, and I noticed a few brushes (especially on curvy building parts with visible holes) have suffered some truncation from saving in regular Hammer. Some rooms in this map drop me to single digit framerates due to the presumed leak (I hope you didn't func_detail all your bsp).

i get around 50 - 70 fps on this while on nycity i get around 200 fps

@Doomslayer No worries! You might have been playing on an older version of the map - a couple of old updates were slightly corrupt.

@REDHOT I'm sorry for the inconvenience when I first played the map many things appeared wrong but the second time I loaded in, the errors where not apparent
