An engine error caused; but I think it is because of my incorrect install(I overinstalled the fix on the fix needless version). Anyway, it'll be nice and also COOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL!
I loaded this on clean copy of Gmod, but the day/night effects still don't work. Color Correction is on.
Pretty stupid how i crashed when walking around for a few mins :frown:
I crash when playing this on a server after not a very long time, very frustrating. The map's cool and all, I can play it fine in singleplayer, and I get around 20-30 FPS with highest settings (easily playable), even in MP. What's causing the crashing? rp_apocalypse is the version I'm using. Anything I can do to reduce crashing? No error message either, just CTDs or hl2.exe has stopped working error. Vista 32bit, 2.5GHz dual core processor (wolfdale), 8800GT, 4GB RAM, 320GB hard drive that's been recently defragged (by recently I mean about 4 days ago). What's the problem here?

Oh and server info linked below if anyone would like to join. We'd appreciate the attention. You only need to download AirVehicles to join, and that's found in the link below:

It's small-team tactical warfare, our typical shtick is PVM but we do PVP now and then.
Being the leader of the group that runs the server, I'd really love to be able to play for more than 15 minutes :(
I loved this map.
My final note is A
Pros:
Very big.
Great Easter eggs.
Portal Approved (While playing the map using the BlackOps's PortalGun, in almost every place, have something to explore)
Great for mini-maps (The bunker is great for some hl1 like histories)
Cons:
A pain in the ass to make it work (Soo much bugs before testing, and some addons incompatibility)
Sometimes, problems with Color-Correction (Sometimes when you die, the time backs to day).
Unexepted errors (Desktop problems without any further notice)
Aside the bugs, this is a REALLY FUN map!
Also, how's going the GM_Caves?
Some PCs cant run the GM version (CMesh errors)
Same as Zeddy, I have colo[B]u[/B]r correction on and the fix installed but there is no changing effects. Well, now that I think about it there are occasionally slight tinges of red or turquoise, but literally near un-noticable tinges, and never night. Is there a way to boost the effect? I tried looking in the console but can't find anything. Also does anyone know what "Color_fx" does? I may have turned it on.
Day/night cycles happens after 1 hour has been passed.
My only real complaint judging from the screenshots is the building interiors; they're all magically lit up either by TVs or other miscelaneous light sources that somehow are still working with no power source, or just areas where light is coming out of nowhere. It really kills the "abandoned building" feeling for me and the associated exploration. You could say "oh well you wouldn't be able to see otherwise", but that's kinda the point. You have a flashlight for a reason. Maybe some very dim lighting at most could help.
Another complaint is that there's too much live foliage. Trees and shrubs with brown leaves on them just barely hanging by are okay, entire forests of live foliage are not. It's called post apocalyptic for a reason, and it really detracts from the atmosphere.
um not really there arent that many working lights in many of the buildings. the foliage can be explained with anything really it all depends on if it was post nuke,post zombie,post Disease or whatever really. most of the lights you see inside the buildings are from the light coming through the windows which would happen.

Might someone please try and help me with this? It's becoming a huge nuisance now. Before it was bearable on the lowest level but now I don't even want to bother going in because it'll end in me crashing not long after before I can do anything enjoyable.
Are there any working servers running this map? I entered the IP Axiom gave us, it came up negative.
Also, forgive my ignorance, but I don't know what format the content package he posted is in. ".rar"? It dosn't seem to work on my PC.
I see you've changed the locations of the paintings / Gnome in the Rp_ version. I found a painting in a concrete pipe towards a collapsed tunnel, Near the shanty town. (I think thats what it's called.)
Let the hunt begin.

Have to agree a little about this, but think like this, someone fires a nuke, everything blows up, fairly sure some trees would still grow up after a while
I'm having a serious stuttering issue with this map, and i'm really not sure what's causing it. It just seems to happen on random. Even if i'm standing still or looking around in the same area it occurs. It's so severe that it makes the map borderline unplayable.

Given how cloudy and barren everything is, the intended setting is pretty obviously after a nuclear holocaust or asteroid impact. The overcast would cause foliage to be very difficult to grow to their full potential since most plantlife relies on sunlight to thrive.
Like I said before: there are some places still lit by just magical light sources, or TVs still powered somehow.

After all of about a few weeks most foliage would already be shriveled and withered, let alone a few months or years. The temperature drop after a nuclear holocaust or asteroid impact would accelerate this.
Have you ever had temperatures go below freezing, and then over the following days most the grass in the area dies and turns brown?

perhaps radiation would take care of this, but seeds have been known to germinate after being stored for very long periods of time.
My game freezes at "Launching singleplayer server" When I try to run this map :(
I can't believe I've missed the release by 5 days! Hazrd you have completed my Garry's Mod based apocalypse experience.
My server is up, stop complaining. if it fails use this ip.

I would play it but nobody is ever on it :sigh:
excellent map, me and my brother played it, I counted at least 6 or 7 times where we both turned around and fired a good amout of rounds down a hallway because we thought something was behind us

Event this saturday, gonna take the new storyline for a spin. Expect Exosuits and an anomaly!
Hello!
Dear Hazrd- on behalf of the whole Gmod community and the Dark Stuff clan noone knows about, thank you. Thank you for creating a map which fits the server and the gamemode we run so good it seems like it was made for it.
"Just as if he visited our server and decided to make a map for us :O"- clanmember
The map is very epic. It has everything we needed. Caves, bunkers, apocalyptic climate, forest, weather, day-night cycle. Thank you.
Once we finish working on the new server we got, and once we remake the gamemode, please visit. It would be a great honor to have you there and roleplay with us a little bit.

Let me give you a little hint on 1 other painting and the gnome.
One painting is in the red building by the broadcast center. It is behind a green hl2 storage locker. And the gnome is underneath the trailer on the river. The one with bricks for steps.
Although the secret wasn't worth the effort of scouring the map in my opinion. Still a nice touch though.
Btw is there anything special about the hulu dolls around the map?

That means Hazrd sucks at rp?
Seriously, this is one of the most epic maps I have ever played! The only con I could come up with is that the map kinda suffers from the box problem, just being surrounded by cliff walls. You solved that with the train bridge over the river, but It would be nice with more of that.
If I had to list top 5 favorite maps, this would be in there!
Awesome creation thanks a bunch dude, it's an awesome map it's actually one of the best maps I think.

[QUOTE=pip12345;24595878]That means Hazrd sucks at rp?[/QUOTE]
If you followed the WIP thread, you would know the last thing he wanted was for this to be used for RP.
so why exactly is roleplay such a bad thing?
