(i'm literally only keeping this map up because of archival purposes, gm_cinema_v2 is better in every way, go check it out)

---

A basic map designed to function as a cinema of sorts, with an inside and outside part.
Intended for use with the Media Player addon; the hole in the main room and the hole outside fit the Huge Billboard screen perfectly.
This map was my introduction to the Hammer editor so it's quite basic.

gm_cinema features:

• A large screen room with a viewing area in the back
  
• A lights room with a view right into the screen room, with switches that operate the stage and screen lighting
  
• A bathroom
  
• An employee lounge of sorts with slots for the small and medium Media Player screens
  
• An outside area with a Huge Billboard mount for players that like to watch outside
  
• One (1) very hidden easter egg

This map uses only default textures with only a few custom textures already packed into the .bsp

PLEASE READ

To make Media Player work, you need to be on the x64-86 beta branch of Garry's Mod

You can switch to the beta branch by right-clicking Garry's Mod in your Library, clicking Properties, heading to Betas, and selecting the x64-86 branch from the dropdown menu.

To set up the screen, open the spawnmenu, head to the Entities tab, open the Media Player tab, spawn the Huge Billboard, and use the physgun to rotate it appropriately
