Thanks for pointing that out, i will mention it in the description if i don't forget it :D

You actually don't need Watching Paint Dry, you can use this addon: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2393633994&searchtext=watching+paint+dry

ok thanks man

Theres a dark menu mod somewhere on the interwebz

how do you get get the menu in black in the main menu

You ported a mod (well, not really a mod...) in GMOD and I'm happy because I love this mod.

That's a problem of the maps being run in GMod. i think they would need to be modified

For some reason maps have no load zones. Not sure if this is a problem for the maps themselves or this addon

Ok that makes more sense

Lemme explain it then, this mod does not contain ANY maps. it just groups the map into a so called map pool, so they're not listed under the "Other" category. If your game finds any of the listed maps within it's mounted games it will put it in the "Watching Paint Dry" category instead

No lol, I was just letting you know that there was a more recent version and then this argument started

Did you even install the addon yet?

Are the old maps in the addon?

Waaaait? How are they supposed to confuse people? They don't show up if they're not installed

There's literally not a single reason to play them though. The only one I can kind of see justifying to keep is the old version of the narrator layer, since it's a little bit different stylistically. You should remove the older maps because they're overall unnecessary for the addon and will just confuse people.

Why are you insisting on removing the old maps. Some people might prefer them and i'll just keep them in there for them, but i'll add a little indicator to wpd_st if you insist :P

And still remove the old maps

Just put a "Start Here" on wpd_st and keep the rest the same

If you can give me the full map order for the full version i'll do overlays for the thumbnails so people know the order

Because when people see "watchingpaintdry" they're going to load those maps first. They aren't gonna know that wpd_st is the actual map they should load. I've already seen someone do this, they had the Update 1 map loaded but with Update 2 sounds. And there's really no reason to play the older versions of the maps, they're just more barebones versions of the Update 2 maps.

> Correction, anything that starts with "watchingpaintdry" should be removed.
why is that? as long as these are valid maps for the old version that someone might wanna play. I mean in which situation would it be bad to add those maps?

Correction, anything that starts with "watchingpaintdry" should be removed.

Every map after "wgg" is from the first version. They can be removed. ("hallway" should also be removed")

This is the current maplist
"hallway|wpd_uni|wpd_tx|wpd_tp|wpd_sp|wpd_pr|wpd_nh|wpd_mn|wpd_m|wpd_f2|wpd_de|wpd_d3|wpd_zm|wpd_d1|wpd_asc|wgg|watchingpaintdrylevel5|watchingpaintdrylevel4|watchingpaintdrylevel3|watchingpaintdrylevel2|watchingpaintdrydark|watchingpaintdrybg01|watchingpaintdry|watchinggrassgrow|narratorlounge|wpd_br|zombiepaintdry|wpd_st"
Am i missing something?

I'm saying that the map names are different in each version

What? No my tool adds each map one by one and doesnt use prefixes

Btw the maps from Update 2 are in a completely different naming format (wpd_st instead of watchingpaintdry), so if you just added the maps without removing the old ones it won't work

I have added the maps of WPD2

Thanks, i'll look into it :)

Link?

Not sure if you intend on updating this anymore, but this only includes levels from the 1.0 version of WPD. There's a 2.0 version with more maps.

oh ok

In no file, its just for reference

in what file does
"watchingpaintdry"
{
"base" "base"

"maps" "^watchingpaintdry|zombiepaintdry|hallway|watchinggrassgrow"
