Steam Community :: Balloon Farm (Gmod)

Well, only difference is those were made in blender and unity with Vrchat in mind from the start. This map was not. You could recreate it but it would be way more work.

I think we need more Vrchat Worlds to Gmod, That'd be so much fun ^ ^ I wish to see maps in gmod from Vrchat like the Great pug, That house map with that one basement where There's like anime stuff in there and waifu pilows, Hens Mclag's water closet. etc

Ethosaur [author] 1 Oct, 2023 @ 8:06pm

Yep! Funnily enough I actually started by making the geometry for the map in hammer first, and exported it to vrchat, so making it in tf2 was not too difficult!

Basically went full circle

eyy balloon farm, I recognize that from your VRChat world!

This maps title alone reminds me of a skit by Steve Martin. He literally said Balloons grow in patches, and the bigger balloons are so dumb you can distract them to grab a small one by saying something like "Hey, look at that good looking inner tube over there!"

Glad to hear, and yeah its actually on timer, that will play it once it ends. However, its controlled by the music slider in your settings, if you want to turn it down, without affecting sounds.

Otherwise you can go in console, and delete it through entities

Just did a Admin cleanup on the map and i'm hearing it loud and clearly.

Man, thanks for this lol. Rhubarb is one of my all-time favorite pieces by Richard. Song fits the scenery perfectly, too.

Ethosaur [author] 18 Mar, 2022 @ 12:54pm

I think I put it right about in the middle of the map, on top of the control point.

NickEx 18 Mar, 2022 @ 12:52pm

Where's Aphex Twin's Rhubarb playing on this map? On what spot exactly?

Ethosaur [author] 22 Feb, 2022 @ 10:29am

yea

KAROX 22 Feb, 2022 @ 10:22am

funfact: this map is real painting art

Ethosaur [author] 4 Feb, 2022 @ 9:41am

No, this is something I made for TF2, which was originally made for a world I made in VRChat.

"Balloon farm" is teased in PTSD 2 though, at the very end, which is a mod I also made, so yeah.

John "know'nt" Palinody 4 Feb, 2022 @ 7:20am

isnt this from ptsd mod for hl2?

Ethosaur [author] 3 Feb, 2022 @ 10:12pm

Great

degroottalan 3 Feb, 2022 @ 5:02pm

Oh I did not see it thanks it works now!

Ethosaur [author] 3 Feb, 2022 @ 10:07am

Well obviously if you fall out, you are gonna take fall damage...? Just turn on godmode then, and if its really a problem you can just bind kill or noclip out.

Zsombor99 3 Feb, 2022 @ 7:25am

@Ethosaur First, I have a "double jump" addon and that still wasn't enough to jump out. Second, if I jump out, I got fall damage, which is not good.

Ethosaur [author] 2 Feb, 2022 @ 9:55pm

It says why in description, the map requires you to have TF2 installed and mounted.

degroottalan 2 Feb, 2022 @ 9:22pm

Okay so I found the map but it's pink and black squares why is it like that?

degroottalan 2 Feb, 2022 @ 9:17pm

If I may ask is it a map by chance I can't seem to find it if it is

Ethosaur [author] 2 Feb, 2022 @ 3:45pm

You just jump?

Zsombor99 2 Feb, 2022 @ 2:26pm

@Ethosaur How can I get out from the balloon's basket??

Zsombor99 2 Feb, 2022 @ 1:29pm

@Ethosaur Oh, that's okay, I don't know TF2 specific stuffs anyway. 😊

Ethosaur [author] 2 Feb, 2022 @ 1:16pm

Oh haha, thats because it was originally made for TF2, and ladders are not supported in tf2, so I made invisible triggers that push you up to "simulate" climbing the ladder.

Zsombor99 2 Feb, 2022 @ 12:42pm

Why I'm getting lifted up at ladders instead of manually climbing them? 🤔
What "magic" is going on?

Ethosaur [author] 1 Feb, 2022 @ 11:50am

The balloons are too strong

Th3TopMuglet 1 Feb, 2022 @ 11:49am

oh i didnt relise

Ethosaur [author] 1 Feb, 2022 @ 9:40am

it wont work

Th3TopMuglet 1 Feb, 2022 @ 8:26am

*pulls out a fuking pin*

Ethosaur [author] 31 Jan, 2022 @ 6:54pm

Yes, you can get in it, there is even a teleporter that leads to it on either side of the spawns.

Nephrite Harmony 31 Jan, 2022 @ 6:42pm

is it possible to into the hot air balloon or is it part of the skybox?

Ethosaur [author] 31 Jan, 2022 @ 11:28am

The music is controlled by a timer that replays it once it ends, however it can actually be turned down/off in your menu, if you use the music slider. (It's separate from normal sounds)

Zsombor99 31 Jan, 2022 @ 10:46am

@Ethosaur I hope "stopsound" command will stop the music permanently if I not want it.
Anyway... You should place a secret switch somewhere to be able to switch on/off the music. 😉

Ethosaur [author] 30 Jan, 2022 @ 6:00pm

Right, forgot to include that. Updated description.

I put that music in because it's what I have playing in the VRChat version of this map.
