I Suppose a Boss type encounter that's small enough for the map to handle could be either a Warrior or a Praetorian type Xenomorphs with 2500-5000 hitpoints respectively? if the player count is small then a warrior, but if the player population is high then a praetorian? However you'd see either alien coming as stealth isnt their strength but rather brute force.

This map causes TTT2 0.14.0b to error when using voice chat due to a conflict in lua/autorun/client/b-draw_lib.lua

An error occurs in gamemodes/terrortown/gamemode/shared/hud_elements/tttvoice/pure_skin_voice.lua due to draw.GetAvatarMaterial being undefined.
draw.GetAvatarMaterial is defined in lua/autorun/client/b-draw_lib.lua

Man seriously... amazing map! My friend and me was expecting a final boss ending, the innocent win broke my heart, its funny to play like a coop mod and try to solve all the secrets. Next time try to put the last boss. Take care dude.

No problem! Yes every model used is packed in the addon, mainly to ensure consistency between the server's addon model files and whatever replacement addons the client might have installed.
Sorry but I don't think the map will be of much use outside TTT for that reason and because of the scripts involved.

Hello Alex, the addon contained files/models from the main hl2 line, like for instance c17 props.
This could overwrite models that have already been overwritten by other addons. Say for instance a remake of the combine health charger. for a higher poly or better on camera scene. Albeit I don't believe that is in the city 17 directory.

I did recheck the files to see what was included in the gma, and I found that the models/props_c17/chair_office01a and models/props_c17/consolebox01a where included. These aren't common props to be remastered or used. So I do apologies on that part. I was just wondering why those props were using the default texture when I was using a addon that re-does most of the textures into a beta aesthetic during the time I had it installed. I will admit I had it installed while running a different map on sandbox. So I do apologies for my inconvenience of misusing the addon when it has embedded lua.

Hi Umbree,

Sorry there was no description yet for the addon as I hadn't finished writing it up.
I am not sure what 'basic hl2' models you mean, there should only be custom models packed into the GMA can you maybe describe further what files you're talking about?

All of the additional models, materials and scripts in the add-on are for custom weapons, items and the aliens.

And when you say "scenic replacements" are you trying to play this map in a non-TTT mode? It is a heavily scripted TTT map so it will likely break in other gamemodes.
Umbree 2 Jul, 2023 @ 1:35pm 
Why does this contain server data and lua?
It has basic hl2 models and stuff inside the GMA file, causing it to overwrite all those models in our games which could use custom models for scenic replacements.

Besides that, why hide all this server content as a map? I'm not well versed in the gmod community so I apologies for asking that.
