Description
A somewhat intact industrial park with a lot of things going on.


This is a 8960x7168 map for the Zombie Survival gamemode with three main barricading spots and two zombie spawns. It's basically your average ZS map, but there is one big feature which separates it from the rest: Random scripted events.

At the end of every wave, something might happen. These "random events" can range from harmless eye candy to gamechanging catastrophes. The event variety slowly becomes more and more impactful on the game as the round goes on. As of release, there are 16 different events. 6 of them are completely harmless. 10 of them have the possibility of directly interfering with the round. None of the events involve actual NPCs or anything too crazy, but some of the events can be over-dramatic and extreme. Although they're best when you don't expect them, and don't know what to expect, it definitely wouldn't hurt to know what each event does. Especially if you're looking forward to putting this in your own server. You can find a list of events in this mod's discussions tab.

Each round also begins with some minor map elements changed. For example, a ladder to the roof of a factory might appear in some games but disappear in others. The changes normally aren't very important, but they can often determine how much ground humans have to cover. The list of random starting elements is in this addon's discussions tab as well.

Most of the buildings are color-coded and numbered, so the map shouldn't be too hard to navigate. The map on its own is easy to win for humans, but some random events slowly degrade the best cading spots into straight-up deathtraps.

Miscellaneous Features:
  • HDR
  • -final extension on VRAD compile (better lighting, I guess???)
  • Some exploit failsafes
  • No overpowered secret rooms
  • Neat skybox

Does not need any additional mounted content like CS:S.

I love the map size. Using this map for a gmod infection outbreak where gmod act's like a hub for all current made games.

This map is designed to be used with the Zombie Survival gamemode. If you thought this was for Sandbox, you might be better off looking for a different map.

Random events fitting a zombie apocolypse? Random setup each game?
Is this real life?
