Im hoping for an update or new version to add a 3d version of the mantaray ship.

no I meant the big whale..the freaking flying fortress whale

saving private sonic

And where is the biggest one in the fleet...like.....the blue whale one? the big one I forgot the name

Ah yes the fat red bald weird mustache guy turn a fish school into a weaponized fish fleet

I agree with the senate.

i dont think they've been released yet, if you mean the one from the CGI intro.

Would it be possible for you to do the ships from Unleashed or Forces next?

Pretty bad ass

y'know what would be real bad ass- if this actually worked

how do you get in maps

i have spent so many hours in this map

Can You A Final Fortress Map,Please?

Oh hey Gamma, thanks for coming back to give some kind words once again ^^! And ouch yeah starting to be a while.. Honestly been moving away from the Source engine in general and doing more stuff in Unity, but hoping to find time and motivation for some sonic stuff again sometime. I've also gotten a job doing VR development for the last 4 years which has been a fun ride, so I have been busy and am doing good! (oh and lost a bunch of weight and gotten more active the last year so that's great too) But anyway, sorry for no Final Fortress and hope you are doing alright as well! :D

It's been almost 6 years since this map was released and it is great to see the effort put into this port. Talk of Final Fortress is long gone and I know it's a pain to do. Hope you are doin well :)

I love this a lot

This is amazing. Thank you a lot!

I would love if there were more ships in the pack. Not saying they would have to be in the map, but just extra models.

Found it!

OMG, Sonic Heroes map!!!

This is one of the visually coolest maps I have ever seen on Gmod. Thank you.

this game was my childhood man
still remember that dumb opening song

you think your cray enothto do the ENTIRE track (not by music by map) of final fortress with a rail grinder thing??????????
you dont need to do it its just an idea

can you also get the egg emporer ?

sonic heroes is a gud game but this thing is..... GR8

or can u model them to shoot

can u make the turrets shoot

So, I found the models for other things like the E-series, Tornado Mk.1 and 2, Sky Chase aircraft, and all sorts of things. Prehaps you could port those instead?

Oh, and what about somehow ripping the Egg Carrier map(s) and splicing them to the model to complete it? True, it would require a bit of effort... but that should hopefully solve the detail problems.

brings back memories from when i first started playing garry's mod (and sonic heroes)

This game was terrible.

...oh, but cool map, though.

ok,but if you were to come back to it forget about the doors and canons

I wanted to make it playable, so was missing a lot of the smaller detail like doors and cannons. (And I don't think they're easy to find at all) But I'd rather spend my time making something new than spending it porting something someone else has made. This pack for example somehow took a month, same with the egg pawn pack, theres a lot of boring fixing involved, just not worth the time.

aww.Why not try again?or port Ratched Mario's egg carrier model from sfm?

I tried at one point but couldn't get all the models for it.

can you make the egg carrier?

I'm launch today game and this map, but game has crashed and not loading, reboot game and not loading, help pls =(

Thank you so much I under stand and thanks for the tip it would be very helpful when I make any sonic poses!

(Part 2) What I really want to get done tho is a remake (at least partial) of station square from sadx, hopefully I can get that going again, it's a much bigger priority over a heroes map as I prefer sadx. So stay tuned for that if interesting I guess. Also since it doesn't look like you know, if you hold the c key and right click on an egg pawn you can activate their body groups (weapons and shields). I feel like I got at least a decent ammount of heroes in gmod now so I might just let it be at that. That's about all I have, but hope that explains a little. More questions are welcome if you have any.

(Part 1) Thanks you very much, nice to hear! Though it probably would be faster this time around, this map somehow took a month to do which is quite some time for such a niche map, and just in general really. I also don't like the outcome overall since models can't cast shadows on other models in Source, makes everything you place on top of the ships feel off without a shadow, so that's a major turn off as well. If I were to do another heroes map it might be mystic mansion since it would be possible to remake in world geometry instead of models since it's mostly coridors, but don't think I'll do that either because time. We'll see but don't expect it, sorry.

Honestly I love what you have done with the map Mathias and I could play on this map forever. TBH I am a HUGE fan of Sonic Heroes and Sonic himself but it would make my day if I may ask if you ever plan on making the Final Fortress or is that too difficult. (I bet alot of people ask but I would love to hear it from the creator)

can you make final fortress

(it may be hard)

interiors?

With the tornado n stuff

PLEASE make tails workshop

can you make Sonic 2 Emerald hill zone please?

so cool

@Mengzy They are indeed very possible to port, I've been wanting to. However.. Because of the Source Engines limited light and shading capabilities when it comes to models I'm affraid it won't look very good on the big models needed to put the terrain into Source.

Various problems occuor: nothing casts realtime shadows onto models (which makes thing seem very un-natural and kinda cartoony I guess, this problem is very apparent when putting other models on the egg fleet ships (can be worked around with player placed lamps in gmod)), models can EITHER have normal maps or vertex light (never both apparently), vertex light will in most cases not give great shadow results.

Not sure if you know all the terms I used and/or understand it, but that's the major problems I remember. But it's mostly light issues that have stopped me from already doing it, as well as some Heroes stages. I MIGHT do a small section of a level (Gens) or two but not likely atm, I have enough to keep me busy.

@func_Mathias
Thanks for the response! Its not often that i get to speak with amazing people such as yourself, and as for Station square, I'll be looking forward to it, along with the Sonic Gen mods. And one last quick question, the Act 1 And 2 Maps from sonic Gen, are they possible to port to Gmod? or is that nearly impossible/To much work/not possible.

@Mengzy [Part 2] Station Square was planned FOR Gmod and probably to be ported to SFM as well. However it's a HUGE project and will take quite a while (if ever) to finish. It's also put on the backburner a lot due to other projects. Those projects mainly being two Sonic Generations mods that are gonna be ported to Gmod (A section of one: Special stage from sonic heroes, and the hub world of the other: Casinopolis from SA).

So anything from me in the future will probably be either of those mods or new random models. If the mods are interesting I'll be posting on youtube (link on my profile) when the time is right, and I got a picture of the Special stage on my profile as well. Sorry for the long read, but hopefully this long comment answers it all.
