What are your specs? And have you tried disabling every add-on?

I did the lowspec v1 of this map with only an FPS bosster and 3 weapons that I manually extracted from an m9k weapons pack, lowest graphics possible, multicore rendering, and even going as far as to making the LOD to its lowest quality value, and reducing the resolution from 1920x1080, to 640x480. Garry's Mod was the only application open on the computer, other than things essential to the computer. Steam was even in Offline mode, and closed by task manager forcefully.

I still stutter between 10 and 30 frames. I used the same optimization on both combine_onslaught_v2, and combine invasion ice reactor (I'm not linking them here, as I still do think this is a good map, and don't want attention diverted from it)

I've tried everything short of buying a new computer.

Okay

Even with a katana, I've gotten easily overwhelmed. @_@

Add me on Steam so I can look into sending it to you.

I would love to take you up on the offer for the VMF :D

THANK YOU

Forgot to mention, but the way file size is calculated changed between gmod back then and now.
The file size was always roughly 250 MB, but before a GMod update, only displayed the compressed size.
Add-ons now show their uncompressed size, but the download size remains the same.

Edits won't be done, but I can provide the VMF for v3 if you'd like to make the edits for yourself.

As for an upload, here you go: https://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3268623110
Includes only v1 and v2.

COOL . For some reason I didn't get your reply until today. Goddamn FedEx slow as shit,

I like all of the versions, if V1 had those invisible like blocks removed and it was uploaded that would be awesome. There's actually a map like that on the workshop called like nz_gilmancity or something BUT it doesn't have zombie spawns which is a big problem. Obviously you could just spawn zombies in singleplayer, but we used V1 and v2 on the server before this addon got updated and the maps were removed since this addon went from like 50mb to 400. They also dont let you spawn NPCs on that server which is more of a skill issue but maps like these made it a lot better.

Anyways if you would be so kind, if you dont want to update any of the maps then I would love it if you could upload V2 to the workshop. If you are willing to make some changes then I would absolutely love to see v1 instead but with some small edits to open rooms and maybe even the rooftops. Thanks!

I'd much rather keep everything as a single add-on. Makes updating much easier.
If you *really* want it, let me know what versions you want and I can make a new, unlisted version for you.

Would it be possible to split v3 into its own addon? This stuff is like 400mb now when it was way smaller before.

im a little late but i fixed the issue

Sorry, but v1 isn't getting anymore updates - doing changes can and will break saves people made for that version.

Is it possible for you to remove the invisible barriers (or let you open/break them) on the V1 version of the map? So for example next to the house on the V2 version there's a small room in a building you can enter, but in the V1 version there's a door that you have to physically delete to enter it, and there's also like two garages around that seem to have invisible boxes preventing you from even standing in them that are not present in the V2 version.

Epic

I unfortunately don't have the free time to work on a game project.
Best of luck on it, though!

@Global I am working on a game development project.
Perhaps you would be interested in participating. I'll let you contact me.

this is gud 10/10

thank you!

Excellent, very nice work!!

GODDAMN V3!??????

Been looking for this map for years.

You aren't tripping

idk if im trippin or somethin, but i heard a hunter scream sound and then francis saying "Got it!"

BEST COOOMEEE BACK BAAAABBYY!

Thanks! it was a addon.

Specifically, look for an add-on that adds dynamic lights - it's poorly coded and not checking if the fire is actually active.

That's some kind of add-on you have.
I can't really help with this, all I can recommend is checking your add-ons.

Ok, sorry for not answering for a bit, steam was down and I completely forgot. https://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3202255153

Uh oh, steam is down.

Orange orbs? Can you send me a screenshot?

Alright so first bug spotted. Orange orbs that I believe are meant to be fire particle effects for you can ignite some areas with fire, are there regardless of it burning or not. So there are permanent orange orbs there.

Looking forward to trying the new update version of this map its one of my favorites.

v3 released!
Big new features:
CSM support! https://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2817072898
Poison zombies now spawn in the map!
Read the full changelog here:

I understand now thx

I assume you're confusing nodes with a nav mesh.
The two accomplish similar goals, but are vastly different from each other.
Nodes only work with half life 2 NPCs, and NPCs from things like VJ Base.
A nav mesh only works with NPCs like nextbots, such as DRGBase.
This map only has nodes, and no nav mesh.

What NPC are you spawning, and from what base?

nodes wont work for me for some reason

also the arrow above it is an p black pattern is there another mod i need?

it will not let me use the radio

Nice map!

got it thanks man!

Zombies spawn when you activate the radio in spawn.
If you just want to do a roleplay, try the gamemode edition of the map - part of this add-on.

hey so before i play do zombies spawn no matter what or can i do like roplays on the map?

All I can say is get rid of your 600 add-ons.
No one out of the 25 thousand users are complaining about crashes; this is an issue with your add-ons.

Keeps crashing my game!

I love and think it funny they reference left 4 dead gang with sounds of survivors in the map killing a zombie that try to ponce at them because left 4 dead is a fantastic zombie shooter
