so this is like if artisans went through what myst went through in myst end of ages

@Cilantro LOL; it is January 11 2021 now. I'm reading this
comment actually for the FIRST TIME in five months; this is
literally the LONGEST time I have ever waited to check on
a comment LOL

(How the heck did that happen? XD)

@Spyro I'm again amazed people still manage to find this old thing. I posted it 8 years ago and am actually kinda embarrassed by it. I cringe whenever I look back on it. On the topic of the player model, I think this might have been the first and last bit of content I published for Garry's Mod. I never really got into the whole character modeling or anything and have never been into the whole Sonic.EXE thing, so if I were you I'd ask someone who actually knows what they're doing. That stuff was never really creepy to me so it never held my interest. I haven't made anything for the source engine in years and don't really have any plans to do it again. Mostly been doing Unity and VRChat stuff. I wouldn't say I've moved past making ugly things, but I've definitely lost interest in making Garry's Mod content.

@Cilantro I really love this. It's like a scary "Sonic.EXE" version of the Artisan Home,
except it's Spyro. It might not work anymore, but still, I really like it. Could you by any chance
make a scary "Spyro.EXE" playermodel to use with this?

@shellygribben It requires Half Life 2: Episode 2. But this map is also horribly outdated, I posted it 6 years ago and don't even have the files to update it anymore. I wasn't very good at mapping back then anyway, so I suggest you go download an actual good version like the one here:
https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=430356401&searchtext=spyro+artisans

Can't believe people still manage to find it to be honest.

its all errors and none texters for me do i need to download something else?

Hmm... I suppose after 20 years of disuse, it got run down. But with the trilogy remake comming out some time in september, I'm sure it will be fully restored to it's former glory.

What the hell? People still manage to find this? @Gem Finder Its Half Life 2 Episode 2. Its a game. One of the base games Garry's Mod runs on. Its currently $7.99 on steam. Buying and mounting it on Garry's Mod should resolve the missing textures. I'm just baffled that you have Steam and Garry's Mod and have no idea what Half Life is.

So to get the textures to work you must have Half-Life 2 Episope 2, and it costs? I'm not even sure how to find it. Not having the Half-Life 2 Episope 2 (game or texture pack?) is why there are purple and black blocks in the textures right?

Wish there were more people porting those levels into games.

Hint. Hint.

Yeah he has some pretty nice stuff, also lol sorry about the name mixup, my brain tends to shut off when reading :P

Well yes, but... wasn't there a Spyro game where the final boss battle was in a decaying Artisan's Home World anyway? Also, I got Ep 2 installed, no idea if it's mounted... I'll give it a gander sometime.

Also yeah, I just checked it out. He directly ported it, which is pretty awesome. Or he recreated it, or something. Point is, it's amazing.

...turns out, he also made the Spyro Skyrim mod. Interesting!

*DDM, btw

@LC-DMM Oh its no problem at all, I honestly feel that my map here is pretty horrible. I've gotten a lot better at it since then but I've also run into a ton of problems with SDK too so at the moment I have no new content that I can release. Do you have HL2: Episode 2 installed and mounted in Garry's Mod? If not that may be why you're getting missing textures.

Here's a link to the GOOD map by Morganicisim
https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=430356401&searchtext=artisans

He seems to have a bunch of other Spyro stuff too. I'm gonna check out what else he has too, I'm pretty interested :P

Oh, really?

Mm. I'll keep this as well, for storage purposes (despite me getting missing texture errors). Still, with no disrespect intended, do you happen to have the link for it?

@LC-DMM I believe someone already did that, I uploaded this crappy version back in 2012 and I think the real port for it was just uploaded earlier this year.

Mm.

How about porting off the original PS1 level?

Oooh, looks rather dark.

Reguarding new versions of this map:

If source SDK ever decides to like me again, and allow me to work with it then I will totally make a new one. However SDK has not been functioning properly for a long time for me. Believe me I would love to get back into mapping but none of the fixes I've tried have worked. Some of them made it possible to use hammer again... Somewhat possible anyway... but it just doesnt want to let me work without say... incredible amounts of lag, crashing, or compiles that change nothing.

So I will say that If I get it working properly, yeah you can have a daytime, closer to the orginial version. But with SDK in its current state it would have to be a no for now.

Same as Josephfratliff, I would LOVE the original, but this one is pretty chill too

i would like to have the oringinal please it would mean a lot to me if you did cause i am a big spyro fan

@Tristen the shadow dragon, Sorry I've never played Legend of Spyro :(

@!B0XY To be honest when I made this I was horrible at lighting, so I made everything dark lol, I don't have the original file anymore for this map. Though if I did want to revisit the map I would probably remake it all together. Not saying I won't, not saying I will either though.

Source SDK seems to... Absolutely hate everything about me... Sooooo... Who knows, maybe I'll get it working properly and then make a new version of this. My god its been 3 years already o_o

can you make a awesome map of the LOS version dragon city is what i had in mind
if you can do that that would be awesome and there is not allot of LOS version of spyro stuff in the work shop ps sorry for grammer kinda sloppy

Can you release the original spyro one for me?

@maximoran1996, Thanks a lot :D But I'm just noticing a bunch of things I left out that were in the original. Damn my inaccuracies! Next time I try something like this I'm going to make sure that I have every detail, like that blatantly obvious mini castle thing I missed that is missing in the screenshot.

Really cool take on the level.

Nice to know you got it working. Thanks!

Nevermind. I got it to work now. ^^;

Hi. I downloaded this map and I have Half-Life 2 Episode 2, but the textures and all still aren't there.

thnks

@the8-bitmushroom64 Um, er... H-half Life 2 Episode 2... The only source game that has "Episode 2" in the title...

episode 2 of what?

Hmmm, are you looking for the right name? I did not include an icon for it and the actual file name is std_artisans_home. Try finding that.

Oh hey Dave, Sorry for the late reply. It should be in your map list under the "other" category.

Oh and FatherJango, I have no clue what you're talking about haha, I dont remember putting music anywhere.

*UPDATE* Forgot to mention that SDK likes me again so I will be working on more maps sometime here whenever I actually get some time. I like to get alot done during a sitting so hopefully sometime soon I will have a few hours to get back into it. Its been fixed for a while, just kept forgetting to post it here. Who knows, maybe I will remake Artisans, despite one of my earlier comments. This map is about 2 years old afterall. Just know that I have not started anything yet and it may take a lil' while to get the ball rolling.

You're welcome. Oh and if you're trying to grab the Skybox vertex paint. It has to be converted into .ply format using meshlab. OR you could just use the Spyro viewer and screencap the Skybox. Instructions on how to use it is F2

Damn Tilters, That looks sweet, thanks for the link :D

This looks cool...almost: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=THkI6FJ2jDc

i can hear music in one of those rooms, can i maybe get a name of that spooky music?

oh ok :(

[Poké☆]Dr Zenburg, I wish I could, I don't know where I could get access to those textures though. Also keep in mind this was uploaded in Oct 2012. I no longer use the same computer this was made on and I dont feel like sitting through the half hour startup to open a laggy outdated SDK that would take another 5-7 hours to update all the required games. Who knows, I may start from scracth at some point if SDK decides it likes me again and is willing to work. Not promising another Artisans, but maybe other homeworlds from this game.

:o can you make it like the original like the old ps2 game with the same textures?

what about legend of spyro

I guess your right,the only bad thing to me about the game is the fact you cant jump without using pads and the stupid qoutes the skylanders make.

Cowansm3, Not just that we hate what they did to Spyro, it is also just because it was a bad game.

I dont get why people hate skylanders,its the new age and old spyro probally isnt gonna come back,might as well adapt to your enviroment like animals.

Autum Plains may be a possibility as soon as hammer stops being a douche bag.

autum plains from spyro 2 as a map plz!

Looks like it could be a Zombie Survival map.

the new version makes more sense for a dragons lair, if its bright and cheery, people (and dragon slayers) will try to move in. if its dark and scary its all theres!
