[HRCS] HL2 Train Station (d1_trainstation_01)

It seems that screenshots are being deleted from all my addon pages, I'm not sure why. Please note that there should be groups of 3 screenshots for every scene, one of HL2, HL2:U, and the current addon map respectively.


This the first map from Half-Life 2's campaign. I strongly recommend having played the original game first before experiencing this and the following maps.

Another map where I showcase the maximum extent of the Source Engine's static lighting system using GMod's 64bit compile tools. Features 256x256 resolution cubemaps and the highest resolution shadows possible without the compile tools throwing errors due to to many vertices or faces being to complex for lightmaps. This map would've been the second or third map in the series if it didn't have so many issues, but after working on other maps I was able to figure out how to solve all the problems.

Compiled for LDR & HDR and retains full functionality as long as you have Half-Life 2 purchased & installed on Steam, and mounted in Garry's Mod.

Completing the level as you would in Half-Life 2 will take you to d1_trainstation_02_hrcs if you are subscribed to it.

Map name is d1_trainstation_01_hrcs, and can be found in the "Half-Life 2" map section.

Misc info/trivia:

• I went out of my way to make the map visually consistent with d1_trainstation_06, since it's basically the same map, just later in the chapter
  
• There was a model hidden in the map geometry for some reason (removed to save precious kilobytes), along with a lot of misaligned decals, supposedly holdovers and oversights from when this map was originally created some time in late 2002, and then heavily revised.
  
• This map is not from a decompile

If you don't have Half-Life 2 mounted, it's possible that scripted sequences will not play.
