Description
Venture through the dark and derelict underground sectors of City 17 in gm_exordium.

Introduction

gm_exordium is the remodeled version of the City 17 Underground in Half-Life 2: Episode One, featuring many unlit areas, ruined underground tunnels, and a collapsed parking complex with some areas holding Antlion Nests. The map has the following features:

  • AI Ground and Air Nodes for all in-bound (and some out-of-bound) areas
  • Minor AI navigation improvements
  • Minor audio improvements
  • Detailed lighting effects
  • Cubemap reflections
  • A functional Combine Forcefield in the Combine Mine
  • Combine Forcefields that Combine Soldiers can pass through
  • 3 Functional Antlion Nest Spawners located across the collapsed parking complex
  • A small vent system in the underground tunnels
  • Unique soundscapes
  • Dev Room (For use with toggling certain events; located underneath the middle of the map)
  • Hidden easter eggs

Note: This map does not require any games to be mounted.

For the Dev Room, there are three buttons. Two can be toggled:
  • The left button is the "Antlion Spawner." It toggles the Antlions to spawn from the burrows.
  • The middle button toggles the Combine Forcefield that is located in the middle of the Combine Mine.
  • The right button plays one of the soundtracks from Half-Life 2: Episode One.

Conclusion

This map took some time making. I pushed the editor and engine limits to the point where I could no longer add on to most areas due to a risk of overflow. The Combine Alphabet font used in this map is not owned by me. If you have any questions or concerns, please do ask.

Credit goes to Valve for the models, textures, sounds, etc.

Another map is already on the works. So far it’s looking pretty good.

I don't want to be rude but i just can't stop myself from asking when you will make next map cause the previous two ones are simply gorgeous.

@Yeetus_Feetus I do have plans on developing more maps, yes. Though I am currently working on other unique Garry's Mod projects that I hope to release by the end of the year.

This is an amazing piece of work, and i cant say anything bad about the map, Although, are you (the creator) planning to make moew maps? as this is really cool and i also enjoyed gm_cessation

An amazing map! I love the half life 2 maps you combined into it. I really appreciate the small details like the combine security cameras! great job and keep up the amazing work!

Disregard my previous comment. I completely forgot I had atmos installed lmao.

I'm really curious. For some reason after a while of playing the map the soundscape just decided to layer the thunderstorm sound on top of the already playing one. I doubt this is intended since it's underground, and I don't think I have anything installed that would do that unintentionally to the map.

frosted regions in HL2 EP2 would be an excellent map especially for realism shooting videos
