Description
Originally posted by X-tr3m3r, Map Author:
This map project started during the summer of 2013. An "open-world" map inspired from Skyrim, hence the name Skylife.

It is more of a showcase of what the now very old Source engine can still do, albeit, with a fair share of limitations and workarounds.

This map wasn't made with gameplay in mind, so it has none.
Includes
  • Small village
  • See that mountain? You can climb it!
  • Map icon
  • Partial node graph

@wolfkann

A) it bloats the file sizes
B) it can cause file conflicts
C) it's against Valve's TOS to include their unmodified retail game content in Workshop submissions
D) the Valve complete pack goes on sale for <$5 multiple times a year
E) mounting the game makes it work for ALL submissions, as opposed to one
F) it's easier on the submitter to require it than include it

Something I never quite understood is why map makers don't pack the content they use into the map file, especially if some of them can go through all this effort to make beautiful maps but not simply add files to the upload for use in the map?

this doesn't really remind me of Skyrim, but actually more like the beginning of halo 2's mission "Delta Halo" after you land on the ring.

The Orange Box came out in 2007, and it regularly goes on sale for literally a dollar or less.

You have to install EP2 via Steam, and then run it to the main menu at least once. Source doesn't fully install or unpack the game until it is booted.

Then you need to hit the controller icon on the bottom ribbon in GMod's main menu. GMod doesn't automatically mount games (more mounts = longer load times) so you have to enable it from there. Restart GMod to make sure it takes effect, and it should work.

Just got Half-Life 2: Ep 2 recently, but the map is still filled with errors and a purple wall surrounds the map. Any advice would be appreshiated.
