Could you please make a cleaned up map with no npcs and scripts for rp purposes please? maybe copy paste a room or two, please man

@MARK2580 get your fat neckbearded ass off steam and get a life, you're so chronically online you brag about being addicted to an electrical BOX for 11 years

@MARK2580 get a damn life and don't brag about your "11 years of experience". xD

i'm not sure why its not allowing me launch this map.

ive never seen something as good as this! budget half-life 2!!

@legoj15
Note, I didn't say that this card is bad, but the brightness of the sources should definitely be reduced. Just try to adjust the tonemap controller more correctly.

@Ripper
I see you are a professional mapper. You must have a bunch of maps in your workshop... oh no, you're just an ordinary stupid schoolboy loading save and duplicates. Don't argue with a mapper with 11 years of experience.

I mean it's a problem that not only your map has, I found out flatgrass to be too bloomy as well recently

I recently found that my lights definitions file was configured incorrectly and probably was one of the culprits as to why everything was too bright. Next time I recompile it, I'll make sure everything is less harsh on the eyes (that one hallway light is egregious)

Don't mind him, he's just an asshole. Shadows are good, same with reflections n lighting, but low down the bloom

Just for the record, I refuse to touch HL2:U maps other than to take comparison screenshots, every map I post is based off a vmf of Half-Life 2 for the Xbox 360. As for the overbright HDR.... yeah that's just me being lazy, which is why I compile a LDR version too, incase people hate the way the HDR looks. It takes too long to get it tuned "just right" (since I have to recompile every time I make a change; simplifying my compile settings doesn't give me an accurate depiction of what the final map will look like), and idealy I wouldn't compile HDR lightmaps at all, but considering some of the god awful things people do with ReShade and HL2:MMod, I felt like I could get away with this.
Once I get a better CPU, I might revisit all the maps and tweak the HDR lighting but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

You just took the hl2 update map and added more bloom, it looks worse, you need to know the measure of the brightness of the light sources.

Truly, a high-definition addon level for Garry's Mod.

I can't believe I'm the first one to say this here, but this is unironically the best fucking map on the workshop
