i just noticed this, a lot of the facade buildings will flicker because of what seems to be texture overlap. and also all of the water tiles because of the texture and looks really awkward.
like, you could have just opened the retail version of the map that uses the toxic water and used that as reference.
if you're getting paid for this job, you could have done like, the smallest amount of reference work. did you even look at the beta levels?

this map has... too many errors to be considered a paid product.
first off, why do all of your combine doors either clip, or have massive awkward gaps?
why is the skybox... like that? it looks like someone tore out the decoration,
or more like it hasn't been put in yet.
like i understand that you're probably mad he didn't pay, but it's kinda obvious why he didn't. you're trying to publicly shame him, but you're also kinda putting shame on yourself.

Dark and Griddy, more like dark and shitty... goldsrc looking ass.

Appreciate that you got scammed but I wouldn't pay for this.

PERFECT DARK AND GRIDDY

The scammer privated their profile lmfao

dark and gritty

is ther nav mesh for it?

oh okay so it's all about exclusive access to the map, so it was never meant to be on workshop, got it

Responding to the comment below, by "ownership" I mean having the full freedom to publish it, and with no constraints (like not cutting anything out, no payment = no exclusive content), and not being limited by the original requirements - Stickey said he wants a moving train illusion as the spawn point, for the starting cutscene in his server. However, because he either has dementia, or is just a scammer, this was scrapped. The train you have a chance to spawn in is actually the repurposed train, but stationary.

I don't understand this “commission” thing, what's the point?
I can imagine a situation where I really want some addon and I pay someone to create it, but what does “ownership” mean?

Good size and scale, and very respectable filesize for the scope of the map thanks to clever reliance on base HL2 assets -- but I will say that a good bit of this map is overlit (especially on the interiors).

Some areas are also so spacious that even with very heavy propping they still feel like they have too much empty space. It's also lacking support for stuff like Stormfox 2, which is kind of a bummer.

Could defo be reworked into something bigger/greater for anyone dedicated to adding more, but I don't recommend this for SeriousRP. Can't say I blame the author for stopping work on it, though; f--k Stickey for stiffing you on your payment.

You should make more HL2 Beta-styled maps in the future. I think you could really make some awesome stuff.

Bro has the audacity to commission someone for a map and not pay them. I am fr praying on their down fall. Other than that, cool map!

CS:Source is required, I think I forgot to add this

Also why is a lot of stuff Black and Magenta Checkers?, is there any game i should get and mount?

FREE TVS!

that's actually a good idea but I'm more likely to have a github repo with archive of my mapping stuff

please consider releasing the VMF for this map instead of destroying it.

Based, genuinely, based. This map is epic.

good job on the dark and griddy!

I knew Stickey on the original Impulse HL2RP. Everyone agrees that he's just an actual dickhead. He's got so much hate, you'd think he'd finally get the message and fuck off.

Dark and griddy
