The Shattered Hyperstructure

Description
--- !!! ---
This map DOES require CS:S, EP1 and EP2. (I don't know how to pack them in the BSP yet?)
make sure to have them mounted on your Gmod or you'll likely encounter *minor* error and even performance drop if missing CS:S' cloud texture.
--- !!! ---

This is my
very first gmod map
based on my save called "Shattered Interdimensional Mainframe" it is not an exact 1:1 recreation but it's close enough. I also got rid of "False Reality" thing from it, that is for "later" time as another map.
File size of this thing is absolutely astronomical during production and even after production as it's not very optimized and it is almost impossible for me to actually optimize it further as this project already took me 1 week and 2 days of nonstop learning, making and ultimately fixing it.

You can totally ignore my steam username if you are playing this map, You WILL lag the heck out.
-but I tested it with 299 addons, it run pretty fine.

-You can even crash the whole game by doing mat_leafvis 2 then noclipping into world geometry and go nut with your mouse.

"L O R E"
This place is the "Segment 742" of the Matrioshka Brain Astrological Hypercomputer that is constructed around an unnamed star in a binary star system. Segment 742 at this moment, has suffered an internal catastrophic failure and causing countless amount of Quantum processor towers to collapse. We don't know what caused it. But deep within the hyperstructure, a major resonance cascade is detected.

Map Features
-Huge open space almost touching the limitation of Source Engine level (rendering level optimization near impossible)
-Hundreds of combine_citadel001 (Most of them are static props you should be fine.)
-Dwelling Tower
-4 Straight Highways with Hardlight Bridges.
-Very "Efficient" doors
-Interactive lights in the dwelling and even a main power switch
-AI Nodegraph AND Navmesh also featuring strider node on the highest highway. gunships are still dead in this map unfortunately.
-Painted Sky, so you can use sky editor and go crazy with that.
-C A B L E S . (Unintentional but okay.)
-w a t e r . . . ?
-Environmental Manipulation Panel (Need to be unlocked) which can let the water collide against you.
-A secret area within one of the highway and it is annoying to unlock
-The abyss rejects you.
One. Single. *Player Consent* Jumpscare.

Issues
-Minor lighting issues that I can't afford to fix due me to running out of time.
-Because of the nature of combine_citadel_001 model, it can look weird through windows and fogs at some specific angles.
-High cloud layer may disappear when stared at specific part of it.
-Some Z-Fighting at some citadel connections. (This may be fixed sometime when I got my time back)

How to enable Environmental Manipulation Panel
1.Noclip through the side of the map, Do not noclip downward the abyss as it will delete you.
2.Descend 3D Skybox
3.Explore the corners of 3D Skybox and you should find a platform with lever on it and teleport platform that can and will teleport you back to entrance be careful on that invisible thing.
4.Flip that lever and the Panel should unlock.
