YOO. THE DREAM!
This and the staircase are now collectively my favorite Gmod maps.
Great flippin'[do] job porting these!

@BushNinja Thank you. Yes, it still is possible, just go on myabandonware.com and search for the game, then click download and download the "Repack by MagiPack (includes fixes and dgVoodoo)" version.

This is so cool! Is it still possible to play the original game?

WOOOW amazing map again gg man

@MaxElderKnight The next map is going to be the Filch library sneak section from HP1. Maybe after that I'll do the grounds, who knows. I took a bit of a break, but I'll start working on it again soon.

Are you planning to convert Hogwarts grounds next? Love the work :)

The new map is out!!

The map is complete! But there are still a couple of things I need to do. It should be released by the end of the week. :)

Lighting is done!

Most likely not this month. I've already started working on lighting and already got some rooms done, but it will very likely be released next month.

I'm currently finishing up some stuff regarding secrets and sounds, so that should be finished tomorrow, so hopefully, I'll start working on lighting tomorrow or the day after :)

I figured I should update you. I've made a lot of progress and I'm going to start working on particles very very soon. Then it's just the lighting and optimizations + some minor extra stuff.

Hey everyone. I'm still working on the map, but I honestly have no idea when it'll come out at this point in time. If you're wondering about my progress, I'm currently working on remaking animations for the models, which is mainly why it's taking so long. The map is coming, it's just a pain in the ass to work on it to be completely honest.

Bye for now, and thanks for being patient.

For anyone who is reading this, I'm planning to have the map finished either by Christmas or by New Year's. There is still a lot of stuff to do.

@AwesomeAlexa The next map is on the way, there's just a lot of stuff that's getting in the way of me working on it. I was hoping I would be done with it this month, but it's probably going to be finished next month, sorry. The brushwork and texturing is done, and now i'm working on models. It will also have more features from the original game than this map did. Should I post progress reports / updates?

Regarding transition zones, I would recommend you block them off.

Unless you made a map that will lead to the corresponding map, then turn them into actual level transitions. It would be sweet to go from one map to the next by just walking into the transition zone. Unfortunately this feature doesn't work in multiplayer.


Regarding secret areas, I would recommend having secret ladders appear from the ground/walls. So that way, there will be a way to get up to the secret areas without revealing the secret area's location.

One more thing, take it easy on the secret exits. The player can leave the secret areas just fine without them. Only add them when you know the player will put themselves into a position to get themselves stuck and they can't get out without using addons.

@TheBillinator3000 Thanks! :D

Here, have a video:

I love seeing old game maps remade for GMOD and other games, with this much care In em. :3

FLIPENDO!!!

Ahhhh.. my childhood was this and the other 2 games that they made for the 1st and 3rd movies. :D

@koanyaku By hard route I thought the sounds were all present in the game files as .ogg files but turns out only environment sounds are, sound effects such as doors opening are not as easily convertible.

@Dingus Khan Well, I decided to recreate more parts of the game, and I actually DID manage to "convert" the map from the original to Source :D. It's just the map's geometry, but it's really really helpful, so in the next map the geometry should be almost spot on. I'll also try to fix some things that were present in this map. Also, what do you mean by "hard route"?

This is insane. Running through the map I thought it was converted with some unreal engine map to source software because of how faithful it was to the original but it's not. Also reading about the "getting the sounds" part I thought for a second you took the hard route but turns out the files just have environment music in .ogg format while the sound effects are in that weird .XA format.

Pure nostalgia

This is so nostalgic. I remember being 8yo kid to play this. Running around with a sushi stick and yelling "flippendo!" "rectusempra!"

The Magic of pure nostalgia!

@Grafin Yes, I'm sorry, that is also something I forgot to mention. Unfortunately, I couldn't do anything about that. It's also like that in the original game.

I have a glitch with the transparency of torches, decorations and tables https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3042776218 https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3042776279
