gm_boreas bugs
All bugs were tested without any addons except gm_boreas enabled. The first three screenshots I have mods enabled but I tested it after and it looks exactly the same with no addons enabled. If anyone finds anymore bugs in this map please post below with a screenshot and a setpos and I'll add them to this list! :)

1. |PLAYABLITY BUG| When gmod_admin_cleanup is executed (aka Q-Menu->Utilities->Cleanup->Clean Up Everything) Not all elevator doors will open in the map. Here's a video of an elevator door that does work how it's supposed to:

2. Silo nodraw (I moved the elevator from it's default position so it was easier to see because the counterweight was blocking it): https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2864372492 https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2864374380

3. Bridge barrier footstep sounds like concrete when it's supposed to sound like snow (both left and right barriers but not left of right barrier, check other bridge barriers for correct material sounds) Here is a video it help you see exactly what I'm talking about:

5. Vents above watchtower door are upside down. You can tell because it looks like they are being lit from the ground if you look closely.

7. Alpha sorting bug (Yes I am aware this is a Source Engine bug although I'm not sure if the very large stripe is intentional. It looks way less noticeable where there isn't a stripe)
Stripe with bad alpha sorting:

8. Two parts of the printer recycle bin are visibly clipping, one above the table and the other another into the wooden box:

9. Near the rocket you can see the prop side without texture where these wires come out of it: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2864689207

10. Silo prop with untextured face going through the wall:

Yes I am aware how nitpicky this all is and the fact that these bugs will likely never be fixed. This is not a jab at the maps quality at all, I am extremely impressed on how bent the Source Engine limits are here. I'm posting all this because this is my favorite Garry's Mod map after 11,634 hours of playing this game. If there is just a small chance they will get fixed I'll take it. Not that it would be a huge deal if the bugs never get fixed. Thank you Blueberry_pie for creating this map and still responding to comments like mine after all these years, I wish there were more Source Engine developers like you.

Thanks for the heads up and for providing exact coordinates. I was already aware of the first issue and thought I'd already fixed it, but apparently not. I'm not able to reproduce the other issue, though. Shooting the top of the barriers gives me the same impact sounds and effects as when I shoot other snowy surfaces. Does this also happen to you when you disable other addons?

At this point, it's unlikely that I'll release another update to the map unless everything suddenly breaks somehow. But if I do, I'll keep this thread in mind.

I also updated the OP. Also sorry for not responding in a timely manner I was asleep when you replied

Very thorough! I appreciate the effort, and thank you for the kind words.

Your welcome, and good luck if you ever decide to fix the bugs and recompile that monstrosity of a Source Engine map :)

Try temporarily disabling all other addons and then restarting the game. If that fixes it, re-enable your addons in small groups until you find the one that causes it to happen again. I'm not sure what else could be causing this.
