You need a second addon-- the content pack for this map-- for the map to work properly without errors. Find it here: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=679843970

Skybox not working in multiplayer? This is because you have a weather mod, replace your lua/autorun/client/rp_industrial17_snow.lua with this: http://pastebin.com/86B4BGjn to fix it.

This is because the map files were so numerous that I had to seperate them into two different addons. This is only the BSP and will not work properly without the second addon.

After moving up to the north, I was met with my first snow, an albeit large Winter Storm Jonas. Inspired by the 3 feet of snow I got to be buried in the entire winter, I started working on this map.

Over 5 months later, with a hatius in between, setbacks, glitches, errors, and issues compiling, the map is finally complete!

I had to not only add displacements to every single inch of the map, but I had to create custom materials, models, decals & overlays, along adding pathways of footprints along the ENTIRE map. This is not mentioning the compiling, testing, and mounds of bugfixing I had to do. (Source did not like the amount of detail I was going for!) Finally, there are some small layout changes, and more to come in the future!

V2 Changelog:

- Modified ambient lighting for outlands.
- Surprisingly, the most difficult thing to do-- this actually took me about a week to solve, as I had to figure out how to make the skybox work with fog so it wouldn't look bad, make the skybox itself ACCEPT custom coded fog, then work out having the fog toggle between the outlands and the city. This was a huge pain in the ass, but it looks great. Added complete new fog to the outlands.
- Fixed some outland models where there was not snow on the roof.
- Considered adding streetlamps to the outlands, but decided against it as the changed ambient lighting and fog adds enough visibility.
- Added a brand new building and bunker to the outlands.
- Added a new room to the Cyber Cafe.
- Added side door to the Terminal Hotel.
- After three hours of debugging and troubleshooting, fixed an issue with some propper models (converts world brushes into models) not compiling collision properly. It was a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ sign that was 0.5 width and causing my collision model to be ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ convex instead of concave.
- Rewrote skybox changing code to have wayyy less functions and networking. Also added fog and other things for it. Fixed an issue with nodrawed entities not networking and thus not being able to be changed multiple times.
- I ACTUALLY SPENT DAYS ON THE SKYBOX CHANGING CODE REWRITING IT OVER AND OVER AND OVER WONDERING WHY IT WASN'T WORKING PROPERLY-- IT WAS BECAUSE I HAD AN OLDER VERSION IN /ADDONS/ OVEWRITING MY /LUA/ VERSION. On the plus side I rewrote the it so many times it now is optimized more in terms of how much networking it needs to do. It also now doesn't rely on the client and thus PVS and will work properly with Clockwork and other gamemodes which have you spawn out way (50,000 units to be exact) far from the map.

Credits for gm_coolsnow, the map that was integrated into ours for a nice outlands.
-Dr. Spud: The tree branch textures I used
-Stiffy360/Planub: The mapper
-NebuLa: Guy who made Snow and Rock textures I used.
-Mr Chop/Colter: Guy who made the awesome skybox
-Progsys: The nice mountain
-DasMatze: The road texture

Note that the skybox will be broken if you try to use the map. This is fixed on Novabox, and I might release the code sometime later. EDIT: Public and a part of CONTENT.

Goes best with a weather mod, I recommend SimpleWeather by Disseminate.

Cheers!
