Frozen Winter | Sandbox (Day Time)

Description










BE AWARE: THIS IS NOT THE OFFICIAL SANDBOX PORT OF FROZEN WINTER HORROR MAP! BOTH FROZEN WINTER AND FROZEN WINTER DAYTIME HAVE BEEN DELETED FROM THE WORKSHOP SOME TIME AGO. THIS IS JUST MY TAKE ON RECREATING THE DAY TIME VERSION OF THE MAP

Both Frozen Winters map belong to the original creator AYLEX. If asked to be taken down, I will delete it.

About the original horror map
This map story could be confusing if not paying attention to all the details in the original horror map. You wake up one day in cold Siberia in a abandoned place. You have to get out of there, so you go about all the houses and buildings you find. After a while you find a radio tower which you tried calling for help. But you find out the horror that you are in a restricted and prohibited area, you are not allowed not to leave, nor be alive.



So what's this sandbox port?
This map removes all screamers / jumpscares / entities / scripts from the original horror map and turns it into day time.
You are free to explore everything, as yes, everything is also unlocked.

Is there anything different?
Yes. A few things I've changed to make the experience "a bit better", but maybe that's just me.

The River texture has been changed
The river texture that had a animated flat texture, I've changed it to actual normal water for two reasons:
  • It was creating weird texture bugs
  • It wasn't practical for sandbox purposes.

Soundscapes
The map now contains different soundscapes and not just a single ambient generic looping a wind noise.

Cleaned up rooms
Some rooms have been cleaned up like boxes/blood etc for sandbox playability.

Fog has been changed
The old fog was a very fast moving fog which could possibly cause motion sickness to some people? I've deleted it and made it a normal fog.

Note: If you want to change the fog, feel free to use the console command: fogui, to change to your liking.



Frozen Winter NavMesh (Thanks NextKurome!)

You do not need CS:S / HL2E1 & E2 / L4D & 2.
Some bugs that shouldn't hopefully affect the experience.

Things to probably do:
Fix all the ladder textures causing bugs
Fix AI Nodes goofing out

@srl

Out of curiousity why did you take down frozen winter?

And by "I resolve it" i meant I finally managed to take it out of the original map and place it in this sandbox one, because it glitched out the first time I did it.
28edx  [author] 15 Mar @ 4:56am 
That's really cool! You really made one of the only horror maps on gmod that I considered really good. I remember there being a part 2?

Anyways, if you are talking about remaking the sandbox aspect from the ground up, then yes , I did in fact remade it for sandbox purpose, I sourced the original horror map from another reupload.

The tower was actually remade by me since it was glitched in the first upload I did but I resolved it and for some reason I think the grate "func_detail" got replaced with "func_ladder".

I do have one question though, how long did it take you to compile this map? I did finish the night version, I even went out of my way to optimize all the buildings (yes even fixing the grates from the twoer), but man I left my pc a few hours but the skybox is so big that portalvis is taking ages (even with 6 cores and 12 threads). I'll try again one night where I leave my computer on to compile it.

yeah im aylex or alx13 or whatever if you go back a really long time ago
i wasn't sure if it was a port or a remake or both, but if you actually made it from the ground up thats kinda crazy

it's not a big deal but there's some interesting things that are missing tho, like the collapsed gas station pumps were supposed to explode (maybe the gas station was even not collapsed in the sandbox version but i dont remember)
and the tower platforms didn't all have a ladder property to it, only those that were vertical. Currently its very funny and difficult to try to climb the final tower when every grate is a ladder lol

other than that its a really great remake, good luck with the night version if you get around to making it

Are you actually aylex?
This is actually a remake I made but I don't remember why I made it. I wanted to make a night version last year but I forgot. Sounds like a good reason to reopen hammer. I might go about doing it.
srl 26 Feb @ 12:43am 
oh wow, somebody actually cared enough to even port/remake the day version of my map
thanks
feel free to make a night version too, I wanted to make one but I don't remember if I ever did it / uploaded it

I'll think about that idea
