[FAQ] {post questions below}
Q: Why is my performance so poor?
A: The surface is very detailed and takes a pretty heavy performance hit as a result. Try using gmod_mcore_test 1 to improve fps. If you require more fps, you can use r_waterdrawreflection 0. If you need more fps still, you can also use ent_remove_all prop_physics to decrease the amount of physics items rendered.

Q: Why am I seeing errors?
A: The map has 99% of its content packed, with the exception of two models and about a dozen decals and overlays. L4D2 is required to display the two missing props and the handful of decals.

Q: Why am I getting errors even though I mounted the required games?
A: You have to restart Gmod to apply the changes after you mount the content.

Q: Does the map have AI nodes?
A: Yes, the map is fully noded.

Q: Does the map have navmesh?
A: Yes the map has a navmesh.

Q: Is this a horror map?
A: I wouldn't consider this a horror map, there are no jumpscares, there are a few instances where lights go out, but overall this can be played as a normal map.

Q: Why aren't the textures packed into the map?
A: Most of them are, but for some reason, a few have been unable... or unwilling... to perform the task laid before them.

Q: Will you make more maps in the future?
A: Yes, I take a while to complete projects, but right now I'm working on multiple new maps.

If it’s really tiny it’s probably a missing overlay. You have both L4D2 and HL2 mounted correct?

Is this map supposed to be a vague SCP reference or something

No, this map has its own lore behind it that actually runs in parallel with established hl2 lore.

this map is so good but why does it require l4d2 and half life 2 sob... if possible could there be a version without those required or something cuz most people cant buy them

Unfortunately, both VIDE and Packrat (which are used to embed models and textures in the map) aren't playing nice with the files. I know it's annoying; before I had HL2, I had to deal with this when I wanted to play maps as well. It will probably be done in the future, but currently, it looks like I have to recompile all the props so that they will be recognized as packable assets, which I just don't have the time to do at this moment. I really really hope I'll be able to do it, but if I do, it wont be that soon.

Quick question about the map, is the sky orangish red because it's dawn or is there a wildfire nearby?

Bingo, I’m glad someone picked up on it, it’s not a wildfire per se, but it is burning.

Ill try with my mods to see if it fixes, what is the texture supposed to be anyway? Also very good map, scared me a little!

I think it’s just some tire tracks, it’s weird that that would be what’s missing, but I know that overlays are finicky sometimes. Are there other props that are errors or just those textures?
