it's an awesome map, but problem is i can't save my turrets or other defenses cause loading a map save causes all rebels to spawn without guns, other than that no issues!

@ Legoj15 this actually has been my favorite NPC war map of all time this is amazing.

I haven't tested it, but probably. You just won't see hunters.

Can i still play without HL2 ep2?

why does it have to replace in the first place?

It's only supposed to replace it for this map, if you reload the game after playing the map, the original chopper model should re-appear

why does this mod replace the hunter chopper?

I think the only thing I don't like about the map is the helicopter swooping in

My only error is that the helicopter (the shooting sound from the ally helicopter) is bugged, it makes the static noises and etc, i dont have any audio replacement addon btw

there's an error on the bridge of the ship, and it's the only error in the map, so idk what it is

does anyone know what command raises the ramps on the side of the ship?

the framerate is good for the scale that this is at

@littlehorks
If you input ent_fire "rebel chopper spawner" kill into the console, then it will no longer spawn.

Can there be a button so that the helicopter doesn't spawn? it's sound for some reason (even with no addons enabled) is ear bleeding

I need more like this

@Bruv
yes

"Badly made AI Addons" is iNPC badly made? :P

I LOVE THE FUCKING MAP!!!!!!!!!!!

THANK YOU

My game dies after like 30 minutes, even without lagging lol

Are you all playing on a laptop or something? My game hasn't crashed once on this map.

i have a 3050 with a i7, also thanks for that i completly forgot about the 64x

You guys should try out the 64bit beta branch of Garry's Mod, it might fix some performance issues, I've been using it for almost 2 years now without any issues, you can even join servers as usual. Then again, I am rocking a 5950x and a 3090, and I barely have any addons installed, so maybe I'm just immune to lag on the maps I publish... If I had more time and was far more dedicated to GMod, I would test all my addons with weak and/or old hardware, and with combinations of popular addons that might cause issues, but alas, I work a full time job, and GMod is really only a vector for me to release ideas into, I don't actually play it very often any more.

well, i got a strong pc but source is known that if you have alot of npc's, the game doesnt really like it.

Ya'll got some doodoo computers lol

the game keeps crashing seconds after i load into the map

artic defence expanded?

more like lag simulator expanded

So I just tested the map by loading in and immediately pressing the S.O.S. button and then doing nothing else (not moving, noclipping, shooting, etc.) and Combine soldiers spawned and approached the ship exactly as expected. I can only assume that everyone experiencing issues is having these issues due to an addon they have installed, since I haven't experienced the issues people have shared at all during the re-creation of this map.

The Combine have an AI goal to run to and attack Odessa that runs every time a Combine Soldier is spawned, they should be immediately moving to attack as soon as they spawn, (which happens when you press the S.O.S. button), but since the map is larger, they actually have to run to the ship, so it isn't instantaneous like on the non-expanded map. As for Combine Soldiers not spawning at all, I'll have to look into that, as that doesn't happen to me. It could be a NPC altering addon causing the issue; I don't have any installed therefore I cannot test any, because they always cause me issues.

yeah combine aren't spawning for me, only striders and gunships

Man thx for overhauling this map. I remember playing this map since the first version where we have to protect odessa.

the soldiers just straight don't spawn for me I've looked everywhere, only hunters striders and gunships.

@TheSpiciestPerson
The soldiers do spawn, however, they are actually passive at first (just standing around since they haven't seen any enemies yet).
So one thing to do after pressing the start button is to enable noclip and fly to the two spawn locations to let them see you before flying back to the ship to let the carnage begin.

cool time to go overkill with lfs choppers

Optimized?

combine soldiers don't seem to spawn

Can you make a separate addon for the Rebel helicopter NPC?

In response to the question by "Gorbor Freemar", you could very much use this map as a generic sandbox map with NPC nodes, just don't press the send S.O.S. button. There are special features inside the watch tower next to the ship that can control some map properties as well.

Ok, the rebels should take damage again. I'll see if in the future i can get the damage filter to work, since it is a bit annoying that the friendly floor turrets can kill friendlies.

Привет карта топ но на ней появился , эрор и НПС не умирают при выстриле пот ним.

Oops, the rebels refusing to take damage is certainly a bug. Thanks for reporting that

beta moment

Nice revamp.
However, the battle will quickly become one-sided though, since it seems like every map-spawned rebel is invulnerable to any damage.

is it like wave defence only or we can just play normally ( sandbox ) because i wanna use custom npcs on this map

Are you going to extend the prospekt defense map?
