Watching Paint Dry: The Game

If you're going to give Steam Awards, give them to this add-on instead! That way, you'll be giving the original creator points.

Normally if you play this mod in GMod, it's really buggy and basically unplayable. I went ahead and fixed most of the bugs, so all you need to do is play!

Completely playable from start to finish - every ending (to the best of my knowledge) is achievable
Fixed transitions - no more being stuck in purgatory when using the fridge (bonus: this means point_clientcommand and point_servercommand are fixed and work as intended for every map you play - might upload this separately)
Fixed exits - doing something naughty will properly boot you from the game (looking at you, Bonzi)
Sound fixes - shouldn't override sounds the game uses elsewhere (keyword shouldn't - tell me if it does)
Fixed monitor texture - the old texture was too big for GMod to load properly, so I scaled it down.
Unmodified maps - I didn't decompile or otherwise edit any of the map bsps to do fixes.

This mod changes level a lot, so disable add-ons to reduce loading times.
There's loads of secrets - to get started, use the vent and unlock the door with the key.

Known bugs:
Finale credits show HL2 credits - overriding scripts/credits.txt appeared to do nothing?
Sometimes when the map changes, all entities become invisible, as if being culled. Workaround this by restarting your game.
Color correction (used in certain areas) doesn't function. This is because GMod's add-on whitelist doesn't allow color correction .raw files in materials/colorcorrection.
