Description
There was never a warning... whether it was due to the nature of the site or simply complacency, it didn't matter. By the time the communication blackout was noticed and a response team notified, it was already too late. Even if the convoy had made it to the site, and even if they had known the true nature of the breach, the odds of a full containment were slim at best. The former "inhabitants" of Riverside township scattered across the countryside, leaving the town abandoned, and dark secrets below...

gm_engarde is a moderately large exploratory sandbox map. While it is not expressly a horror map, as you play it, you will find something’s just not right...

[OPTIMIZATION]
The majority of the surface buildings have area portals, trees and other props fade out at varying distances. The surface river poses a significant threat to high frames for some users, therefore, I recommend that anyone experiencing low fps near the river to input the console command "r_waterdrawreflection 0" which should improve frames considerably, at the cost of real time reflections in the water. The underground is well optimized and should run smoothly even on lower end systems

This map includes full navmesh and AI nodes (Have fun!)

[REQUIREMENTS]
Most of the content is packed into the map
L4D2 recommended for full functionality (certain decals and a single prop)

Yeah unfortunately my attempts to optimize the map have yielded only marginal results. My pc is also pretty good and even I get sub 100 fps on the surface. My next map has thus far proven to be considerably more optimized so hopefully I’ve learned from my mistakes.

Really cool map, my PC is quite decent but my frames tank a bit, maybe I've got too many mods installed

@wessidegaming20 that’s weird, the map has almost all the content packed in now, and even the things that aren’t packing (for some reason) in are included manually. Do you have any mods that might alter textures or cause conflicts? Otherwise I’d try verifying the files if it’s a widespread issue and not limited to decals

Thanks for your kind words Minijar! I love me some SCP and there’s definitely a lot of inspiration even though it’s not directly tied in that universe.

There's so much story here that's hinted at. I feel like this map deserves its own SCP wiki entry honestly going into the facility and what happened!

I do have the game left 4 dead 2 but somehow the map and the models and the buildings are showing missing textures or colors if I could put that to words but it’s good map and I had a lot of ideas for it but I do hope it’s gonna get fix but take your time and let me know if I needed to download something else to help the map but I’m not trying to insult you or anything just being a bit informative or something
