Garry's Mod Version: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=720208714

This map was originally made for the 2015 Halloween special "Crit or Treat". After some troubleshooting and a lot of experimentation, here is the SFM version of the map!

Features:

-A medium-sized, swamp-themed map, with some minor SFM-specific tweaks.
-Detailed, atmospheric environment.
-Three enterable houses + other minor points of interest.
-Custom water texture - water so dirty you'll probably get cholera just by looking at it! The texture supports real-time reflections as well. (see the Known Issues section, though)
-Upgraded cubemap resolution.
-Toggleable doors - just touch them in in-game mode to operate them.

Known issues:

-There is an engine limitation which limits the amount of "expensive" water rendered to one per height level. Since the large bodies of water and the the swamp pools are at different altitudes, SFM will render either of them as "cheap" (ie. fully opaque). This is an oversight I did not account for when I originally made the map, and unfortunately fixing this would require me to rebuild substantial portions of it. That means you may have to work around that with camera angles and such.

-For the same reason (I think), the underside of the water surface will (partially) show up as solid beige color when entered from a shallow angle. WORKAROUND: move the camera into the water while looking straight down.

-Additionally, the water appears fully reflective from underside. No idea what is causing this - the issue persisted even with vanilla water textures.

Feel free to use this in your own videos and such, including monetized ones (does NOT apply to stuff hidden behind a paywall, as per Valve policy). However, I'd appreciate it if you mentioned the map name in the credits and/or provided a link to this page.
