Hello, I love your map! I would like to use it for a map I am currently making for a Manga RP server can I have your permission?

Am I able to edit this for my server?

no wonder the defenders lost

so how to close the Big gate???

AI noode?

map doesn't appear in the sandbox tab

how do you close the gate

I have no clue but I want to know.

This should be the updated DeGroot map for TF2

Not by me, but here's the AI nodes.

ai nodes?

Is it possible to shut the main gate?

Not sure what the issue is, but when I reloaded the map for the first time, all the doors became stuck where they were, but only visually. Like I can walk through them, and when I try to open or close a door, only the handle moves which does have collision. Is there a fix to this? Otherwise cool map.

is there a way to shut the front gate if no can u make it happen?

ai nodes?

( *To the guy 4 comments below me *)
@McFishy, Well if you're experiencing texture problems like that? I would recommend getting:

"Age of Chivalry"

If there's anything that noticed as soon as I loaded this map is that it uses content from Age of Chivalry, try installing that game and see if that will help you.

how do you close the front gate?

The tables are missing textures for me and the console spams

Material models/table_01/wood_pattern01 has bad reference count 0 when being bound
Material models/table_01/wood_table01 has bad reference count 0 when being bound

Anyone know what's wrong?

Another issue I found, which is more quality of life than anything, is the fire-baskets. I'm not sure why they are there, but they are always in the way.

The fire-baskets on the ground are sort enough to burn even short player models that are snug up beside them. The ones on the castle are tall enough to not burn the player, but are positioned right up against the castle wall, denying archers certain angles of fire they may need to kill the attackers.

On a similer note, the barrels on the northern wall and the trees around the castle are a bother to work around. The Barrels deny the use of that portion of wall for the defenders, and the trees are impossible to see through.

The trees do make the map prettier I guess, so I can only complain but so much about it.

Not trying to be mean, just offering some critique from a attacker/defender point of view.

After a lot of thinking, I got it. This map would do well to have AI Nodes, but AIs can't climb ladders and maybe not be able to open the doors (if the doors aren't set to be openable by NPCs). However, there could be a solution. Stairs.

Assuming human NPCs have the same limitations as players, they cannot walk over an obsticle over 45 degrees of an angle, or is higher than 18hu, right? But if a invisble stair case was built incasing the ladders, every step no higher than 18hu, but can be as thin as 1hu (front to back) the NPCs can "climb" the ladder.

Overlaying the Func_Ladder over the stairs should make using them as a player normalish, but I'm not sure. It's one of those test and see things. An AI node on the bottom and top of the ladder, allowing ascent up the stairs would help a lot.

Crazy idea from a novice mapper, most likely won't work without a lot of expirimentation.

Hey, why is there a tree with a missing texture on the left of the castle? Please help.

@Benigane

@Slitherpro86912 Nope, they'll just stand at the base shooting up at you, unless they have a node graph telling them to go up the stairs and the doors are NPC openable.

Thanks homie @Herr Doktor

can npc's climb ladders in gmod?

I'm pretty sure the castle from this map was used to make this crappy map. https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1436110845&searchtext= It's a direct lift.
Bloody coward disabled comments on the addon as well.

Thought you should know.

My framerate gets a bit lower than usual on this map.

Is there a night version?

You can't, i tried.

how do use gate
