How to fix the map crashing
the map whenever opening in gmod always crashes. But I've figured out how to fix this and a tutorial. If you don't want to do it yourself then I'll put the map file in the description.


1. Download the map file using {LINK REMOVED}

2. Convert the .bsp file to .vmf using https://github.com/ata4/bspsrc/releases

3. Open the .vmf file in hammer.

4. Watch a basic tutorial on hammer

5. Look for Xen. Its basically just a giant cave and thats just it. Xen has problems with loading some map stuff and that is what causes the map to crash in GMod.

6. Select everything in Xen and delete it.

7. Convert the map to BSP using the Hammer packaged with SFM. Press run to convert to bsp

8. If I've explained this correctly, You should now not be crashing

Edit 1: Props will be missing, I haven't figured out how to fix this yet.

Edit 2: Map is stuck in fullbright aswell when you startup. I'm too dumb to fix this, if any hammer users know how to do this then try your best

To fix fullbright in gmod, you need to check "HDR" option in hammer compile window.
