[release][tab]Name:[/tab] GM_Forest2008 [tab]Version:[/tab] 3 [tab]Description:[/tab] The sequel of GM_Forest and GM_Winterforest [tab]Requirements:[/tab] Half-Life 2: Episode Two [tab]Download:[/tab] [url=http://www.garrysmod.org/downloads/?a=view&id=40667][img]http://www.garrysmod.org/img/?t=dll&id=40667[/img][/url][/release] Here's the map now, after a long wait. For those who didn't follow the original thread, and know nothing about my former maps, here's some trivia: -The map is sequel to my former maps gm_Forest, and gm_Winterforest. The first map was released on June 1st 2007, and that's the reason for this late date. -Theme of the original map was rainy morning so now there's a sunny day. -There's a large lake and alot more to explore than in the original. The trees have grown larger and as a few rock formations collapsed it gives you access to, for example the lake. -In my forest maps it has always been the idea to have a forest with no houses or else. So that people can build houses if they so want, but there's none already. It is nothing but a dense forest but there have been some special things like the "three snowmen" in Winterforest map etc. [b]SCREENSHOTS[/b] [IMG]http://i138.photobucket.com/albums/q242/stene93/gm_forest20080000-1.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i138.photobucket.com/albums/q242/stene93/gm_forest20080001.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i138.photobucket.com/albums/q242/stene93/gm_forest20080010.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i138.photobucket.com/albums/q242/stene93/gm_forest20080005.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i138.photobucket.com/albums/q242/stene93/gm_forest20080007.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i138.photobucket.com/albums/q242/stene93/gm_forest20080002.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i138.photobucket.com/albums/q242/stene93/gm_forest20080003.jpg[/IMG] [b]ORIGINAL MAPS[/b] [url=http://www.garrysmod.org/downloads/?a=view&id=26471][img]http://www.garrysmod.org/img/?t=dll&id=26471[/img][/url] [url=http://www.garrysmod.org/downloads/?a=view&id=12569][img]http://www.garrysmod.org/img/?t=dll&id=12569[/img][/url] [b]DOWNLOAD LINK[/b] [url=http://www.garrysmod.org/downloads/?a=view&id=40667][img]http://www.garrysmod.org/img/?t=dll&id=40667[/img][/url] There's also some special stuff on the ZIP file, see them on Readme!.txt

Very nice map! Thanks!

Awesome! Are you going to make gm_winterforest2008?

Great map, Thanks! :)

[QUOTE=Kwigg]Awesome! Are you going to make gm_winterforest2008?[/QUOTE] Hehe and Caribbean_Queen2009 and gm_Radiactivno2009? I don't really know, next map I'm making is the AnnunakiAstrochemistry, it's something I haven't done before. Then I might finish some old projects, or like, make a theme park map. Most of you remember rp_sunshine, it was never finished but I still have the VMF and materials, and there are things in the map I could release separately. For example the theme park is going to look very beatiful with the new effects.

2 downloads so far? um what? [b]Edit:[/b] Oh it got uploaded like moments ago apparently :v:

[QUOTE=jordguitar]2 downloads so far? um what? [b]Edit:[/b] Oh it got uploaded like moments ago apparently :v:[/QUOTE] This is also in FPSBanana so there's some downloads, and yeah there's not many people online right now, americans are sleeping.

great!

I found a bug: In one of the rivers, there is a gap between 2 parts of displacement.

[QUOTE=Kwigg]I found a bug: In one of the rivers, there is a gap between 2 parts of dipslacement.[/QUOTE] I've heard of that already :( There's supposed to be nodraw block but I mistakenly had textured the top of it and now it looks weird.

I have been waiting for this map so much. Great map! I recomend for every one that likes forests or just to have a good time by the lake :p

You've come a long way, Stene. Great job!

Is that a crashed plane? What's next? Polar bears? Good map by the way.

Awesome map! can't wait to try it out!

[QUOTE=Watevaman]You've come a long way, Stene. Great job![/QUOTE] It's been a year from the original. Gotta say I'm definetly proud of what I've done :D And after all the comments and popularity of these three maps I can easily say that I've gotten more positive comment on myself than anywhere else in my life. My teachers and principals hated me on school as did some dudes too, but here I've gained alot of respect and on the servers some people greet me for making their favourite maps :D And... that Nerdboy's comment gave me an idea for the remake of gm_WelcomeToTheJungle.

Garrysmod.org is very slow at the moment, so I will wait. And please do make a remake of WelcomeToTheJungle (and maybe you could make a version with nothing changed but with the water fixed.).

[QUOTE=tepholman]Garrysmod.org is very slow at the moment, so I will wait. And please do make a remake of WelcomeToTheJungle (and maybe you could make a version with nothing changed but with the water fixed.).[/QUOTE] I uploaded the map to FPSBanana too, here's a link: [url]http://www.fpsbanana.com/maps/55394[/url] I'd like people to use the garrysmod.org link though, so that I could get it under Popular. But it's nice if you rate it in FPSBanana, I get better ranking :D For the remake of WelcomeToTheJungle, I have done many textures but the layot is the problem. I didn't even know of the use of displacements when I made that map, it was just copy/pasted cliffs over each other. And actually, it was first supposed to be race map but you can't regocnize any of the track anymore :D But it was my first map. First map I ever released.

Blegh, 'Half Life 2 Episode 2' I have it on my xbox.. :v:

Downloaded. I do hope this map is flatgrass-sized. Going by the readme it's a "large forest".

Fucking win. No need to say more.

Here's an overview pic for you people! The green dot down there is the player. [img]http://i138.photobucket.com/albums/q242/stene93/map.png[/img]

It's super dooper sexy :D

Fileshare upload please? GMOD.org isn't behaving right :)

I have found a few things that shouldn't be there. In the river there are a few places where part of the map is sticking up and is invisible. And there is something about one of the trees that doesn't seem right, part of it is floating. And this may sound like a noob question but, how would I post images so you can see what I'm talking about?

But I already know about the place where "part of the map is sticking up". A pic of the tree might be nice though.

[QUOTE=edaem]I know how to take the pictures. But how do I post them?[/QUOTE] You upload them somewhere and either link them to the thread, which I prefer, or use img codes like: [img] *imagelink* [/img]

I could try and scout out this tree for you and take the picture myself and link you to it, that would take a lot of time to find it out of all those other trees. Just curious, but did you put fade distances on all the trees in the map? I'd hate to have to be at one corner and render all the trees at the opposite one. I see that there is fog, that should help too.

You don't mention it because there's the fog, behind it, nothing is drawn to the game which saves alot of FPS.
