Then you shall forever remain ignorant of the truths out there...

i have no idea what that word means etho, ima level with you

My home mall looks just like this, I don't know what you mean...

Besides, its a HIKIKOMORI Mall, not a normal mall

Etho, im sorry bro but this is Hardly a mall

i think this style called "wacky pomo"

I'm not really sure, there is many names for them, mostly I just heard "Weird map" or "weirdcore"
or just "hangout" kind of map, or trading map but I don't think there is really a specific word exactly for them as far as I know

What's the genre of these types of maps

I have already downloaded 15 gigs, but not just to play a single map (I have gone insane from no updates)

I am downloading 15 gigs just to play a single map

Ok

i aint downloading 15 gigs just to play a single map

Yes

AI Nodes & Navmesh?

Sure, I use env_soundscapes with custom soundscript file in your "scripts" folder, in this case for hikikomori mall, it was "soundscapes_hikikomori_mall_a4" which I used to play music instead of usual sounds they would be used for

Example of one in the soundscript would be like this for each song:

"mall.song1"
{
"dsp" "0"


"playlooping"
{
"volume" "1"
"wave" "#hikikomori_mall/music_YMCA_clean.mp3"
}
}

I think"dsp 0" is what makes it fade in but I may be wrong, that could just be a default thing for source engine.

Remember to add # at the start of a song so it acts as music (which lets you change the volume in options menu too!)

Hope this helps.

if you dont mind, how did you set music to play contained in certain areas and smoothly fade in/out? been trying to figure it out and i just cant!

The cartoony furniture? They were originally made for a VRChat world I made called "Slop & Slime" Which you can check out if you want to see them all how it meant to be!
I made each of them in Blender, and used Paint.net/Krita to do the scribbly textures for it.
The rest is just using Crowbar decompiler + Blender source tools to export into TF2

how do you make the furniture? it's really pretty :]

ITS FUN TO GET YOURSELF CLEEAAAAaaaaaAAAAn

ITS FUN TO GET YOURSELF CLEEAAAAaaaaaAAAAn

young man! you can get yourself clean
i said, young man! you can get yourself clean!

i love the random stanleys and the cheeseburger room

yay!

Thank you, im glad you enjoyed it! I cant wait to share more soon. If you ever feel like it, you can always submit any fanart and stuff on my community discord, and maybe I will include it in my future maps/updates!

i like this map, full of mistery, is big, a lot of traps, good ost, full of static/png NPCs, memes and digital art.

full of slime girls, heavies, stanleys, pizza tower "things" and pixelated girls

i would like to be a part of that but i lack of quality and creativity, aniways 10/10 the map, i still need to find the secrets and fun/scary stuff.
i hope you have a nice day and i'll see you next time, peace out

okay, future updat will be cool

It should have one, last I checked, its not very good though, maybe in future update I will make it better

can you make a nav mesh for this map, it doesn't seem to be Lambda Players supported, or the nav mesh is broken if there was one.

Lol im glad to hear, thanks for playing it!

Dude this screams early trade server maps and i laughed at every single thing in this map

Not sure, sounds like you didn't do it properly then, it should simply be download tf2 then mount it in gmod menu.

Do you have the props in gmod that you can spawn in sandbox mode? If not, that means you didnt do it right

I downloaded and mounted tf2 but errors still show up. How do I fix this?

My dreamed place

Yeah... wow

wow

Yes that would be me

was this made by the same guy who made Slop N Slime??

okay ty!

Yes it says in description you need to Team Fortress 2 to play this, as it uses models and textures from it.

Also im getting errors do you have required mods. Those are all the questions now im done talking

imma give this a like for support just incase you have a goal to create more maps cause these are great!

Yes I would think so

also quick question are this maps a little nostalgic?

ok tysm

Look for one called "Lethargy Pools" thats probably the one you are thinking of

Wait didn't you have a map like this except it had slides you can slide down in

Thx

In the meantime I can add a discussions post with the hints in a bit

Yes, it actually used to have it but I delete it by accident before uploading.

I will try to add it back in a future update.
