In that case, I can't help you
The issue lies with your mods, which is beyond anything I can do

It crashed as soon as i opened the map. It could be a mod conflicting with the map because ive had this downloaded for a year and it used to work, but I dont feel like deleting all my mods to find out.

I need more information - got any crash logs? What were you doing when the crash occurred? Did you test without mods?

This crashes my garrys mod even on low spec.

you are so getting touched

this map wasn't created by me, it was only modified

i cannot make (good) maps from scratch, sorry!

Hey if you're ever around for it, I suggest making a map like this but in an enclosed bunker area with 2-4 AR2 defense positions and several bunker-tunnels going hither and thither

ah ight

I could, but that map is simply way too massive for something like that.
You'd be better off using add-ons to achieve this, as zombies will forget about you and get stuck.

Could you make a zombie spawning GM_BigCity? That would be fricking awesome as peter griffin says

it doesn't, sorry!
if you create one, feel free to link it here and i'll add it to the description

does it have a mesh in it?

you can delete the basement wall in V1, pretty sure of it :3

Thanks!

(amazing album for an avatar by the way)

In v2 and v3, you can just damage it to destroy it. In V1, that isn't possible.
You can still break it with console commands. Look at the wall, and type this into console (must be in singleplayer)
ent_fire !picker break

Quick question: How do you destroy the wall in the basement by normal means?

thanks for the comments! god, it's hard to believe that gilmancity is over 8 years old at this point.
it started as nothing but a silly little want: more zombie npc maps to test out my guns on.
i'm glad that it's still serving that purpose, but for other people now, too.

despite how simple it was to create, i'm really happy with how it turned out.

Forgot to add, I usually listen to music while holding off the horde.

This map is one of my fav maps, because you have to survive zombies (obvious) and because you can camp the zombies out till you decide; "Hey I should test that EVAC mod I just got" and call in a EVAC, or you decide; "NUKE-" and blow everything up with a nuke. I have great memories of setting up in a building, barricading myself in and then using a minigun to mow all the zombies down. I usually used this map to test weapons that I recently got. The minigun that I mentioned earlier is probably a gredwitch emplacement, maybe a M134? Anyways, I love this map >:3

It's just you - try playing with all your add-ons disabled. If the map works, you'll need to figure out what's breaking everything.

It wont work anymore keeps kicking me out or freezing. Is it just me?

Oh, okay. I was just curious.

(i should learn to make AI nodes and navmeshes for maps sometime)

It does not. Sorry! Never got around to generating, tuning, and fixing a navmesh for it.
If you make one yourself, feel free to upload it to the workshop - I'll gladly link to it in the add-on's description.

does this have navmesh?

how to cum on this?

Damn it worked! Thank you so much :)

This is an issue on your end - this map doesn't change anything about Combine soldiers in any way.
Verify your game files via Steam (Right-click GMod in the library > properties > Installed Files)

This is a preety good map, but i have an issue with it. Its the combine death sound, it becomes a screeching and annoying sound and it only happends with the combine soldiers! All other npcs are completely fine. Heres the video of the sound that plays: https://youtu.be/1IuWzdhgh8g

chainsaw man support??!?!?!?

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.

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.
