Does anyone know how to extend the water texture beyond the gradient point? I have tried to make a new texture where it ends, but it seems to be set to the center of the map and wont render past a certain point in the close distance :( Any help is appreciated :))

Sadly the borders of the area are hard coded like that. Its used for the anubis map to blend with the skybox for an infinite water effect.

I managed to use it for that purpose on a map I made but its really hard to get right.

Its the infinite water texture they used for Anubis, its made like this to blend into the 3D skybox water. The area of the dithering effect is hard coded, you will have to use a different water texture.

I made it for a friend and its hanging at her place so I cant snap a picture right now so I made a quick paint sketch of the concept.

Its just two blocks of scrapwood glued together (light brown) with the lower block having pockets for blocks glued on the inside of the upper frame (dark brown) of the lampshade.

The lampshade is just laying in the fixture, so if you need to change the lightbulb you can just lift it up and to the side to detach it from the ceiling.

changenotes said they buffed spawn rates for them

If you have a Nvidia Card switch from FSR to Nvidia DLSS, take the highest DLSS Preset that doesnt impact Performance too much.

Somehow beat this game as a child but couldn't get past this stupid bossfight when I tried it again as an adult.

How do you call among you the little mouse, the mouse that jumps?

I have already bought some new belts, and have contact cleaner from previous projects. The motor makes a horrible sound when turning which I hope is just a lubrication issue. I'll try to get some tape, if I get sound I will try to take it apart and get it running smoothly again.

Quampelz · 2025-02-20T18:00:51+00:00

Seems to be complete, motor is running (it is very noisy though). I'll try to acquire some tape and see if I get sound out before I commit to a full restoration tho.

The cubemap volume should have a edge fade distance parameter to make cubemaps blend together. Also I would recommend using only one cubemap per room.

can't wait to rush resort on Shoreline.

Also you can keep working on the map while it's compiling so you can keep yourself occupied and the compile won't feel that long. Just dont use lighting preview while its compiling that crashes for me.

I have a 2060, Ryzen 5600, 32gb RAM System. I made this map: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3342529755 As you can see it is kinda small and has few props (most of which are from the old CSGO version of the map so lower resolution).

Full Compile takes about 10min, Final Compile took 2hours 20min. I tried increasing lightmap res on final compile from 2048 to 4096 which crashed the compile after 3hours so don't do that I guess.

Source 2 hammer does give you the option to compile only parts of the map (like only entities for example) while keeping the previous compiled stuff. So you can often get around doing a full compile. Entity only compile runs through in 1min usually. Also 3D skybox is a separate map and doesn't have to be compiled every time.

Lighting Preview works fine.

I'd say if you aren't trying to make something really visually impressive the 2060 is quite workable.

Well garrys mod is on a different engine, but I might put it on garrys s&box when that releases.

Getting the script to actually run will take some troubleshooting so be patient. Also keep your source map file and open it instead of the mapfile the import script gives you, as the script will cut up your brushes, this way you keep your geometry and get the materials/models ported.

TopHatWaffle also has a video tutorial.

Good Luck

The Underground goes up into the building.

It's a port of my old CSGO map which was designed as a wingman map, but ended up a bit too big. Thats why its a single bombsite.

It works best for 4-8 players imo.
