Hey guys.
i know its been a couple years since there has been an update to this map,
(if you guys even still care about this map at this point)
and i felt like i definetly kept you all in the dark for too long.

so im going to be answering some FAQ since the last update.

"Why is everything pink and black?"

You need to install Team Fortress 2 (Its free on steam) and mount it in GMod.
if you already done this and this still happens to you, i dont know what the issue is.

"Why are there errors? Wheres the weapons and hats?"

i got this asked alot. im not sure why it happends, i but my guess something happend in a TF2 or GMod update that changed the directory of the weapon models. i cant say for sure.

"What & Where is this "BIG" Update?"

I cant remember what the original update was going to have, but from what i remember,
there was going to be more added details, (added signs, improved parking lot, etc.)
better skybox and a new secret underground.

now with an added pool.

i have some screenshots of this early version of the update, but they will be posted in a seprate discussion.

but once these we're added, alot of technical issues occured.

first, the map wouldnt open in hammer for reasons im still not sure of, and i beleave i had to remake the entire map from scratch. i could try decompiling the map and continue from there, but my previous experience with decompilers proved to be kinda buggy with stuff like broken walls, dissapearing props or messed up lighting. and yes, i used BSPSource.

but as soon as the update was finished, the GMod Addon Uploader/Updater became obsolete and replaced with a new method.
being a dumb kid, i didnt know how the new method worked. so i was trying to figure out an easier way to upload it.

but then i lost the VMF file when moving to diffrent computers. and i didnt felt like redo-ing the same crappy map all over again. espesually since i suck when it comes to scale, and that map was like a one time only thing for me at the time.

So, there wont be an update for this map...
However...

"Whats with the new screenshot with the orange building?"

Incase if its not obvious enough, i "was" working on a complete remake of the map.
This new map would not only look better, but have alot of new stuff. and would actually look like a store... but that was back in mid-late 2015.

even though i was doing some decent progress with it, however i ran into disign problems. as it was very empty and had stuff that wouldnt make that much sense.

When i moved over to my current PC, this along with a couple other projects i was working on just kinda died off.

This does not mean the map is completly dead

i still plan on remaking this map and making it much better then before. but i have other projects that i want to finish first before considering any side stuff like this.
plus i gotta figure out how the map should look, both inside and out.

unfortinetly, untill i finish some stuff and plan out how the map should look, dont expect an update to come out for a while.

Sorry folks :/

I hope i can work on an update soon.

EDIT 5/7/2020:

Hey Folks, as you can guess, the update isn't out yet. this is mostly cause i kinda forgot this map existed after a while.

While chances of this map being updated is still unsure, i will admit looking back at this map is *currently* making me feel interested to see what i can do with it.

Cant say anything can and will come out of it, chances are this is the last thing mentioned for this. but i might come back to this and see what i can figure out. especially since i got a better understanding of mapping and scale in recent years.

Since this map isn't priority #1 on my list, if i do work on an update, i'll make it a beefy one that can act as a final version, and hopefully any issues like missing textures/models can be dealt with.

For those who have been waiting for this or any sort of update, i apologize for keeping you all in the dark, and hopefully the last update can make up for it if it ever happens.
