Cheers lads, I appreciate it. I do try to keep that in mind.

(Also, Meetric, I hadn't recognized you earlier but I've seen your work on YouTube and the workshop before. Real impressive stuff!)

I agree with Virgiliu. Do whatever you enjoy.

Also, from my own personal experience of making gmod addons, make sure to be aware of the 'loud minority'. Only 0.46% (1 in every 217 people) that have downloaded this addon have commented (and even less comment about issues they have).

This map runs perfectly fine on all of my hardware. Any problems are most definitely addon related

I understand, as for the situation regarding having to deal with people reporting bugs that relate to addon conflicts, i'd just advise to remain stoic and not even bother with such people.

@Virgiliu314 & Meetric: Thank you. Unfortunately, I don't have as much free time as I used to, and the handful of donations I've received over the years are nowhere near enough for me to justify doing any more work on GMod-related projects (let alone another map on this scale). While making money was never my goal with gm_fork and gm_boreas, it would at least have allowed me to dedicate more time to creating stuff. I'd still like to make that happen, but GMod clearly isn't the right game/community for that. I'm also tired of providing support for issues that pretty much always seem to be caused by other addons.

@Finn_the_human: Check my profile or Patreon to see my current project for Assetto Corsa. I haven't posted any updates in a while, but I'm still working on it when I can.

Hey @Blueberry_pie are you going to make any new maps at some point in the future? You are really good at this, it's maps like these that make the environment feel more, alive and believable (i guess?), and i think that GMod needs more great maps like on the scale of this one.
Finn_the_human Apr 14 @ 10:29am 
Hey since you stopped working on gmod have you been working on any other projects?
Meetric Apr 13 @ 8:47pm 
Your maps are crazy! Do you plan to make any more?

@Gecko: There's no explicit StormFox support. Day/night transitions probably won't look as good as they should, but other things might work okay. gm_ijm_boreas is supposed to have improved compatibility.

@Vam-Cat: This is probably due to the large number of physics props that exist in the map by default. If you're playing in singleplayer mode or if you're a server admin, you can remove them all by opening the console (Shift+Esc) and entering the following command:

ent_fire prop_physics kill

(This might break some things in the map, but nothing major I think)

does stormfox work?
