Optimization Commands (autoex.cfg)
I've seen some of y'all complaining about lagginess, so I might as well share some commands that made not only this map, but many previously fps-killer addons (Like the entire ARC9 weapons collection) run smoothly even in such massive maps like this one

I'll clarify, you gotta know *something* about computers to do this, since it involves typing in commands that you might not be familiar with. You don't need to be an engineer, but you can't be a caveman either.
Don't worry, I have no idea what some of these commands do either, but hell they've made a difference indeed. So why not, I've picked them from the internet.

First off, make sure your GMod is in the x64 version. To do so, launch Steam, get the Properties' Tab for GMod, and select the corresponding beta ("x86-64 branch", or something along the lines), which already on its own boost your GMod's proccessing capabilities when comparing it to the "base" version. Once you select the beta, Steam will automatically download the version. Don't worry, your addons won't break. Unless they're from 2013, of course.

Then, you'll need to navigate to your "autoex.cfg" file, which is basically a txt that allows you to write commands you want GMod to execute every time it launches. Of course you can use the in-game console or the launch options from Steam, but I recommend modifying the autoex file instead, as you can easily clear it if in doubt, and saves you the hassle of having to enter commands every time you forget if you've already typed them in or not.

To access your autoex.cfg file, you'll have to dig into your Steam folder into this folder:

\Steam\steamapps\common\GarrysMod\garrysmod\cfg

There you'll find autoex.cfg, which you will have to open as a txt in order to modify it.

The commands I've got loaded in my autoex are the following:

gmod_mcore_test 1
mat_queue_mode 2
cl_threaded_bone_setup 1
cl_threaded_client_leaf_system 1

r_threaded_client_shadow_manage 1
r_threaded_renderables 1

I've enabled the multicore rendering, since it helps in beefy pcs with more than 2 cores. Low end PCs might not be able to whitstand multicore, which might lag your game even more if you're not careful. Shadows and renders were also affected, but my knowledge doesn't go much further than recognizing the most basic of commands.


Feel free to suggest or correct commands in the comments, so I can expand the list for people to see. And take it with a grain of salt; it's what's worked *for me* and a bunch of other people, it might not work for everyone. Try these tricks, and find out for yourself :gambler_b:

With a low end graphics card the game can suffer when running the Pink Collection's maps, they're HELLA resource-heavy due to being their own textures, reliant on no other game (thus being a proccessing bomb for PCs).

I hope these commands can at least help your PC make the map playable

Damn, I'm sorry to hear that. If ya ever find a command that works for you, tell me so I can post it here

What are your PC's specifications,out of curiosity?

самый древний процессор 2 ядра 2 потока. такая же материнская карта. и 16 гб оперативы.
Ah well, RAM is okay. But you shouldn't enable multicore rendering in GMod with just 2 cores in your motherboard, friendly advice. It didn't work for me back in the day

короче чувак проблема сама решилась. я что то где то полазил и лагать карта перестала.
Ah lmao, glad it got solved. Did you like the map tho? :spycon:

карта просто имба. но чтобы пройти её надо потратить кучу времени найти всё что нужно для концовки.
