Hi my name is Carmen Winstead. I'm 17 years old. I am very similar to you. Did I mention to you that I'm dead? A few years ago a group of girls pushed me down a sewer hole to try and embarrass me. When I didn't come back up the police came.The girl said that I had fell and everyone believed them. The police found my body in the sewer. I had a broken neck and my face was torn off. Send this message to 15 people after you listened the whole message if you value your life. A boy called David received this message. He just left and deleted it. When he was in the shower he heard laughing. My laughter. He got really scared and rushed to his phone to repost this message but he was too late. The next morning his mom entered his bedroom and all she found was a message written in his blood saying 'You will never have him back'. No one has found his body yet because he is with me.

Who plays gmod without hl2, its episodes and counter strike source mounted
apple 31 Dec, 2022 @ 6:16pm 
gmod doesnt come with every hl2 asset like the props for the weapons, you cant spawn in weapon props without hl2 mounted

where B17
Quazzar 31 Dec, 2022 @ 12:49pm 
I think Gmod already comes with the HL2 assets.

WARNING! Carry on reading! Or you will die, even if you only looked at the word warning! Once there was a little girl called Clarissa, she was ten-years-old and she lived in a mental hospital, because she killed her mom and her dad. She got so bad she went to kill all the staff in the hospital so the More- government decided that best idea was to get rid of her so they set up a special room to kill her, as humane as possible but it went wrong the machine they were using went wrong. And she sat there in agony for hours until she died. Now every week on the day of her death she returns to the person that reads this letter, on a monday night at 12:00a.m. She creeps into your room and kills you slowly, by cutting you and watching you bleed to death. Now send this to ten other profiles on this one site, and she will haunt someone else who doesn't. This isn't fake. apparently, if u copy and paste this to ten comments in the next ten minutes u will have the best of your life

That works out really well actually, that launch command, thank you so much man! I was always told it's an engine limitation by people, you genuinely made my day! :steamhappy:
Fusiontech 14 Dec, 2022 @ 10:31pm 
Thanks for all the cool stuff, definitely gonna try that projected texture command! I'm basically in the grey area of I wanna learn more of Lua but then I try for an hour and give up xD
collacot  [author] 14 Dec, 2022 @ 3:43pm 
@Fusiontech the developer wiki is the best place to learn about stuff. id recommend trying out the script_intro entity, its what was used for HL2 intro and HL2:EP2 heart to heart scene. its a little difficult to figure out, but is really cool once you get the hang of it.
collacot  [author] 14 Dec, 2022 @ 3:43pm 
@Fusiontech the limit can actually be expanded. " In Garry's Mod, there can be up to 9 active env_projectedtextures turned on with shadow mapping at a time. You can also increase this limit by putting -numshadowtextures # in the Steam launch parameters of Garry's Mod, where # is the number of shadow maps the game should allow. ". This from the env_projectedtexture wiki.

but when making maps you plan on releasing, its best to stay at 9, because you cant expect most people to change that in the launch settings.
Fusiontech 14 Dec, 2022 @ 12:58pm 
That's very good! And yee I used heaps of light sources and discovered the limit of 9 which I wish could be increased but ah well it is what it is. I've seen it used on only a few maps but it's definitely not as common as it should be.
collacot  [author] 14 Dec, 2022 @ 10:32am 
its a really good resource when wanting to get real-time accurate shadows. i use it whenever i cannot get accurate shadows by just baking them into the map (not real time).

one quirky thing about the entity is that it isn't actually considered a light entity. so you are not going to get any kind of ambient light from the entity, it merely just... projects a texture. so any ambient light that would be emitted from a light source has to be added in manually. thats what i did for that elevator area. you can see in the little areas where you get on an off the elevators, if the elevator is on a different floor, there is a slight glow. that is supposed to imitate bounce lighting, as if that projected texture was actually a light source. you can see that here. https://imgur.com/a/HBgshs4

im sorry this is a little disorganized, but i hope i explained it well!
collacot  [author] 14 Dec, 2022 @ 10:31am 
@Fusiontech thanks!

the method i used is not hard to implement at all, and is extremely good to use in small amounts. i used the env_projectedtexture entity, which is the same entity spotlights in gmod use.

env_projectedtextures are the best way (in gmod's source engine at least) to get accurate, real-time shadows with lights.

i think the main reason mappers dont use it more often is that they read about it on the developer wiki and see that valve games only have a limit of 1 per level. scroll down a little more, and you'll see that gmod actually has a limit of 9 per level! ... another reason i think most mappers dont use it is they simply don't know about it.
Fusiontech 14 Dec, 2022 @ 4:02am 
Great Map! I noticed you're using a dynamic light in the elevator which casts real time shadows which from all the maps I've tried is not a very common thing. why is that? Is it hard to implement, too resource heavy or just not a thing that's done?

Alright, bro. Thanks!
collacot  [author] 12 Dec, 2022 @ 7:36pm 
@Darpy i do plan on adding a nav mesh. ai nodes technically exist in the map, i placed them and all, but it wasn't seeming to want to work with me. i'll get it working though.
Darpy 12 Dec, 2022 @ 6:54pm 
Ai nodes/Navmesh?

@Vundevafel thanks! i guess i kinda strayed from the HL2 beta feel i was going for when i first came up with the idea. but im still happy with the result.
Dementia :3 12 Dec, 2022 @ 1:53am 
Dude, you've got a really awesome map with a great atmosphere. But for me personally, it doesn't look so much like hl2 beta as like a 1984 novel.
