[Into The Fire plays]

this map is sick as hell

finally I found it

Quake 1 looking ahh

why do i get 10 fps on this map specifically :(

amogius

reminds me of that one armored core mission

gm_quake 9.6/10

Cool

im always scared that your maps have fricking jumpscares lol

IF YOU CAN'T BREAK THE LIGHTS: Use the pulse rifle

i won't even lie, this would be a great map for NOAMZ style survival

i figured it out, good ol trusty pulse rifle did the job done

@mancer ah yeah, my bad, sorry about that, I set it to "bullet" but even stuff like the shotgun doesn't work with it, but I just didn't want them to all break if a nuke goes off or something, lol

damn, i tried a couple different ones including an anti-admin gun, after that i didn't think it was possible lmao

@mancer the triggers for it are a bit finnicky, some weapons don't work properly for it

stuck on second phase of puzzle, correct lights are indestructible

runs perfectly with lambda players, exactly what i was looking for!

One of the coolest maps in the workshop. Not only it's big and atmospheric, but also has A LOT of hidden lore. I eve found 3 QR codes (first gives a lot to read, second doesn't work, third send you to a video). Again, one of the coolest maps.

Game crashes every time I open it.

this looks like an ultrakill level and i absolutely love it

I'm going to update the map to tweak the secret slightly (to fix some bugs and to make the step after placing all of the chess pieces a little more obvious, there is a very subtle map change that is difficult to acknowledge), and to try and fix some small things, it should be live soon. If your npcs have trouble entering certain areas, I recommend deleting and letting the game re-generate the .ain file as some areas are a bit finnicky, but hopefully it should be better.

@OnTheMatter Huh. Apparently doing a fresh install of gmod worked. Nodegraph loaded in and NPCs function normally again. No idea why that worked, but hey, I guess it works.

@OnTheMatter Yeah, the navmesh works, the Zeta nextbots I used function normally. I already tried to verify files, didn't work. I'll try reinstalling gmod to see if the map stops having a fit over NPCs.

lol ignore what I said about the map slowly rusting

I don't know anything else to do but to jump into the hole but it keeps teleporting me back to spawn or the lava

am I slowly going insane or is it that everytime I jump into the hole the map is slowly oxidizing. (I found all of the pieces, threw the doll on the spike thing, and opened the large door)

approved

@corruptphoton Does the navmesh work for you?

@Jonnyhawkeye Yes. I added the max amount of ai nodes (4096), ground and air nodes.

@corruptphoton I have no idea as well what the problem is in that case, as there really isn't anything different on this map than the node networks I set up on gm_heartland and gm_obselisk, which also had 4096 nodes and they work okay. Sounds very funky, maybe try verifying files? Very strange issue.

ai nodes?

letmeout

I Still Dont know What Source They Use?

0-5 CERBERUS

@OnTheMatter So I went ahead and uninstalled all my addons. I've forgotten how fast vanilla gmod loads and runs lol.

Anyway, it doesn't seem that the nodes load either. Or at least, I couldn't tell, because apparently every time I spawn NPCs in the map, they act like I disabled their AI even though I didn't. They just stand there and do absolutely nothing. I have no idea why this happens only on this map specifically, since even on maps with no nodes, the NPCs at least blindly follow and shoot at you.

love the funny little secret you put in the vents

@corruptphoton Maybe you have an addon active that is breaking the generation of one, etc, one should generate on its own when you load in without the .ain file. If you find out what the issue is do let me know as I don't have any idea what would cause issues here but not anywhere else personally when it comes to the nodes, as mine generate and so do those for other people I've played with. This map is at the node limit but hitting that/exceeding it just cuts-off any excess nodes, and gm_obselisk and gm_heartland are both in the same boat but I haven't had/heard any problems with the nodes there as well.

@OnTheMatter I went to garrysmod/maps/graph and there was no gm_oxidation.ain, so dunno about that. I also used ai_norebuildgraph 1 but it also didn't work, and I checked the console but zilch as well.

can someone tell me the locations of the chess pieces?

@corruptphoton Hmm, normally the nodegraph should generate on its own just fine but maybe it got screwed up by something, try going to garrysmod/maps/graph and deleting gm_oxidation.ain to see if it will generate properly next time you load it

the info_nodes aren't showing up for some reason

HYPED

Gosh, this is beautiful. I've only found two pieces, and the whole atmosphere has me motovated to find them all!

@haha! 420 is the drug number!!! Ah, no most of this map was already set up by the time that map released, it just took a long time to polish it up and add more side-rooms, plus just general-busy-ness, it got dragged out longer than I expected. Also, thank you!

@grimwit You need to be able to damage things for some of them, and some are in awkward places that require jumping but I don't believe you need to noclip for any of them, there is one in particular that is more involved than the rest if you want it without cheats

Reminds me of gm_Vacant_Industry. Is that just me or was there some inspiration from it? Either way, I love the map. Good work!

Two quick Qs: Are all six pieces there? Is it possible to collect them without cheating (noclip and such)? I only found two and can only collected one.

Cool map, found a baby neat

DOOM 3, Half-life 2 beta vibes. Love it! Good work with sounds, great ambient. Very well defined style. Very cool. A little lack of details. But giving the size it doesn't really matter. I wish there were more maps like this and of such high quality. Great job dude!

@StrawWagen Thank you! I tried to add the navmesh to the vents myself for a while but I couldn't get it to work properly and eventually scrapped it, I appreciate it! I'll add the workshop link to the description
